hey Fit Phattys,

Okay, this morning was a trip. I woke up late at 5am and then had the nerve to lay there and get frisky and play with my hubby. We didn't start this morning off rocking the sheets but we did have fun wrestling.

Very Fun way to start a day. My boo, goes to school and next to his school is a 24 hour fitness. I recently, like 2 weeks ago, started a membership with them.

If you know Los Angeles, then you know that traffic is terrible. I suggested, since we didn't have much gas int he car, that we pack up, clothes, shower items, and books, and laptops and take it all out there.

So we pack up and 20mins later we are on the rode and its a nice and clear drive. NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPEN AT 9AM lol.

We were out there on the highway by 610am. We almost made it to the school and right before we got ready to get to our exit.... we ran out of gas! on the HIGHWAY!

Cars were zipping by. We thought,,maybe if we push the car, we can make it to the hill and coast all the way down to our exit, to which there is a gas station RIGHT THERE!

As I examined the roadway, cars, visibility, i said TO HELL WITH THAT! LOL i didnt want to get SMASHED on the highway.

Even though the hill wasnt far, it was too far for us to try to make it on the highway.

He checked the trunk... a gas can and it had a SMIDGET of gas in it.. yes a SMIDGET! We prayed and asked that, that little bit get us to the hill at least and i could coast that bad boi (car) down the hill.

He puts in the gas. I knew i only had one chance to do this, so i had to wait on him to get in the car.

He's in...

I check the traffic coming because i have to make sure the lane is all mine and i don't kill anyone trying to make it to the hill.

i check..

Its good, i turn the key...IT STARTS! as soon as i get ready to pull out a car gets in the lane, by this time , i have the flashers on and im already pulling out....

The car slows, and go and guess...WE MADE IT TO THE HILL!

We coasted for about 3mins down the hill until we made it to the Ventura exit. and then we glided right into the gas station.

As soon as i stop in front of the tank the car shuts off! WE MADE IT!

i just wanted to share that part of my morning with you and say that no matter what...it may seem like you are out of gas, you may think that you have to push your way to the hill, but if you just stop think for a min, you might find the gas you need to help you coast to your destination of (fuel)fulfillment.
