out of gas...

I mean this title literally ;)  So this morning I am driving to my ride as I always do, and as I get off of the freeway, my car won't shift.  Weird.  So then I stop at the intersection, and it won't start again!  So, I am sitting at the exit of an exit ramp, my car won't move.  Luckily, a nice man came along and helped me push my car to a parking lot not too far away.  Thank God!  So I park it there, lock it up, and ride to the ride.  Good news is I still got my ride in(more on that later!)  So, when I get back from my ride I try to start the car and it won't start.  Great. So, I thought it was the battery, because my fuel gauge still said I had 1/4 of a tank.  That is easily close to 100 miles.  I tried to ride home, but the car wouldn't lock because all of the locks are electric and I had to stay. (making me think again that it was the battery)  So, I wait for my  parents to finish their ride, and come to meet me at the car.  I assumed it was the battery, but my dad didn't think so.  So we got some gas, and sure enough, it worked!  I was happy it was so simple, but angry that the gauge said I had a 1/4 tank when it was bone dry!  So, I got home :)

True story^^  And that took way too long to explain!   Now, a quick little back track through the week in pictures...

leftover pasta with feta and random veggies

AMAZING seared ahi on jicama with avocado and chili sauce.  I died. haha ;)  This was on my half day from school when I got my bike =D

Saw this while running, and just had to get a picture.  Isn't it pretty??






So as I said, I got my bike on Tuesday!  It is so freaking cool :) Here are some pics...

The new bike was incredible!!! I rode it for the first time today, and it was like I was connected to it, and it knew what I wanted it to do!  I love it =D

And then I cooked a chicken stir fry for dinner, and that is about it.  

I hope you are having an absolutely terrific weekend!
