In the dashing out of my door this morning, as I heard the distinct click of the latch, I remembered I forgot my damning keys
So as of this very moment I am locked out of my house and my car.
And it's just windy and chilly enough to be extra annoying.
Woohoo! Help has arrived!
And Fate just gave me a cigar to chew to brighten my day. (Yeah. The guy that works with my wife is actually named Fate.)

I used to keep a spare in my purse for just such an occation. One time I met some friends, had lunch, then walked outside to find the car had been running the whole time.I once locked the keys in the car with the car running...this was pre cell phones and blackberries.
Then once I locked my PURSE in the car too. The school resource officer broke into it for me.

I had two instances of dumb late last year.
In October I locked my keys in our car just hours before my dad's funeral. We were stuck in a bad way. Our insurance covers it... but we were in the middle of No Where, Texas and they sent a "locksmith" that showed up in a tow truck. He did about $800 worth of damage breaking into our car.
And then not much later I borrowed my stepdad's truck to make a trip to the dump. Somehow I threw the keys out with the rest of the junk. I had to borrow a phone from one of the workers there. I think she stored her phone in a urinal when it wasn't being used. Fortunately, my step-dad does stuff like this all the time and he told me where to find a secret key stashed in a magnetic box on his truck.

Monday night was stupid when I was in a six-car pile-up on Central Expressway involving an 18-wheeler.
F'real. It sucked. I'm OK, but my Mini is properly effed up. And the guy who cut me off left the scene of the accident.
Just as I was thinking, "Thank K I didn't slam into the concrete wall or that 18-wheeler next to me," I realized the mudflaps on the truck said, "JESUS LOVES YOU."

It's not going to be totaled, is it??? As long as you have it in the shop, make them fix your remote-sunroof / windows.
