Gas? What Gas?

Thursday June 10th one of my good friends Tom graduated from Lincoln Fire and Rescue. So I drove to Waverly to my friend Anne's house and we went to his graduation in Lincoln. It was a wonderful time. Tom is so deserving of getting on Lincoln and his family and some friends were there so it was a really special time for him. After his graduation Anne and I went to this fabulous Greek resturant in Lincoln (it was right by a Target so why wouldn't it be spectacular?). We had such a good time just girl gabbing and eating Greek food...it was my first time eating Greek and it was wonderful! Oopah! Anyways, after that we drove around Lincoln for a little while and she showed me where she grew up and then we went back to her place and as I was leaving I remembered I needed to get gas. So I left Waverly and stopped in Ashland to get gas. As I was pulling into the gas station Anne called me to see if Shutter Island (the movie) was any good because she was looking at movies to rent. So I was talking to her and putting my credit card in the slot and getting the gas set up (not pumping of course) and I got off the phone, got the gas pumping and started emptying the trash out of my car. When I got done emptying the trash out of my car I looked up and the gas was done pumping in and my total was $30. I thought that was a crazy weird coincidence. I don't like odd numbers and it landed on a perfectly even number!! What a lucky happenstance! So I got back on the road, called my mom to let her know I was on my way back, earlier than planned and I mentioned that I had just gone to get gas and I looked down at my gas gage and it was on "E!" So naturally I made this discovery verbally and loud. I couldn't figure it out....the nozzle was in the gas tank, I set it to pump, I emptied the trash out of my car, looked up and had my perfect total.....so either my gage was broken....or I didn't get gas. Upon reflection I really was focused on emptying the trash from my car.....thankfully I was near another exit in which I could get some gas. So I stopped at the next exit, focused solely on getting the gas into my gas tank, and made sure my gage was on "F" before leaving. I then proceeded to get back on the interstate and declare myself one of the biggest idiots I know...........
