Every day,we see higher and higher gas prices. Less than 10 years ago I was in high school and a gallon of gas cost only 97 cents. It's almost 4 times that now, and who knows when it will slow down.

Last night, my boyfriend and I went to the movies to go see "Cars." Yeah, it's a Disney/Pixar movie, but it's fun to go see those kinds of movies once in a while. It gives us a break from every day life, from the stresses of work and school, and lets us have fun.
