here's a question for you...
how stupid do you have to be to lock yourself out TWO TIMES in one week?wow.
i locked myself out last week - of my car this time. that's not even the best part. here it is: i not only left the keys in the ignition, but i LEFT THE CAR RUNNING.
in the walmart parking lot.
it must be a testimony to my good luck (or other's honesty) that no one smashed the window and drove it off while i was in the store. because, seriously? i didn't even notice until i couldn't find my keys.
wow.
let that one sink in. how stupid was i feeling? pretty dumb. i went to walmart w/my sister and had driven two of her little ones with me. because didn't you know how COOL it is to ride in my car? oh, it's way cool. so while we're getting out of the car, i'm of course stressing about them trying to run off, and trying to keep a hold of them. in all of this i did manage to lock my doors, but forgot all about my keys. :(
soooo anyways, we have Triple A. i called; they came. it was as simple as that. but if i can add in one more tidge of whining? i had to sit out with the car while i was waiting because you KNOW i wasn't going to let my car out of my sight while the keys were VISIBLY DANGLING from the ignition. i think everyone who walked by was wondering why in the heck i was sitting on my bumper. alone. in the walmart parking lot.
this really isn't even something i do often. the last time i locked myself out (before last week, haha) was probably my freshman year of college. so weird.
and then here are some BEAUTIFUL tulips my sister gave me - when i hosted our craft day. i haven't told you all about our craft day yet. i need to gather some pictures!
it's the first day of Spring!Labels: another locking out, flowers, spring, stupidity

Yesterday I locked myself out of the house. I went out to get the mail IN MY PAJAMAS, and when i came back i couldn't get back in; my door was locked. it turned out i had inadvertently turned the lock on the door knob when i left. the weather was great, so i really can't complain; but i'm going to anyway. i sat in the backyard for a while, and realized that there was an old man a couple houses down watering his flowers/bushes/whatever plants. for a LONG time. i was waiting for him to go around the corner so i could do some pilates. but i didn't really want to do it while he was watching. so i start, and then he comes back around, and starts hosing off his car. not washing it, mind you. just hosing it off. just when i thought he must be done, he gets out his big garbage can (the one you take the trash to the street in) and (you got it) starts hosing that down too. weird. i wanted to ask him if i realized we lived in a desert. seemed like a major waste of water.besides, i was locked out of my house; what else did i have to do but make snap judgments about my neighbors? that's right nothing. i didn't bring my keys (obviously) or my cell phone w/me to get the mail. if i had my cell phone i would've called my husband and made him come home and let me in -- but i couldn't even go to a neighbor's house and ask to use the phone, b/c i don't know my husband's work number! so i sat. i figured my landlord (lives upstairs) would come home before my husband, and i was right. all in all, it was somewhere between 1 and 2 hours. of course, i didn't have my watch either, so i don't really know.
remember valentine's day? yes, a month ago. i just put the pictures on the computer. here's us at our dinner:
you can't see it very well, but i got a stain on my new white shirt that night; D'oh! it came out though. this place (where we ate) was one of those teppanyaki restaurants, and we had such a fun time that night.in other news, today marks the first wearing of sandals and capris of the year!! hooray for unseasonably warm weather!!
