Somehow I have $40 extra from my gas fund this month to put toward the savings account for my car repairs. It would have been more but I raided it twice for dinner with friends (not a lot, about $25). So I am happy to have a little extra. I think the not driving 30 miles twice a week for French class is helping to have less gas expenses. I am taking Mandarin and the course is only about 8 miles from home and kind of on the way from work. If I avoid the freeway I can drive through my favorite neighborhood and see the homes I dream about. Wide porches, established trees, 40 year old neighborhood it's just what I want. It is just so perfect and I get to drive through it twice a week! Lucky me!
