Ummm...You Want Me to Put My Body WHERE???

Getting locked out seems to be something I have gotten surprisingly good at the last year and a half. Up to this point I had only locked myself out of my car once. The tally for the most recent year had much more startling figures.

Times locked out:
Car: 4 Times-All were involving me attempting to go to Subway for dinner.
House: 3 Times- 2 of which were not a big deal since the back door was left unlocked partially due to the inability to close it completely in weather above 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The last time I had to call in the troops.

The Re-Enactment

Jeff: "Hahahaha!!! Amanda is so dumb. I can't believe she locked herself out again. And I was just telling Terry about the times I picked her up at Subway 'cuz the girl left her keys in the car."

Amanda: "Sheesh, just be a man and get me into the house."


Kitchen Window: The Only Way In

Jeff: "Hmm. Really. So that's how far the window opens? I'm glad I didn't eat dinner yet, because otherwise there is no way I would fit through that teeny tiny opening."

Amanda: "I would have tried, but my heft would have gotten wedged"

Jeff: "This could be fun. I hope there is scandalous material strewn about the house."

All systems go!!!

Amanda: "Glad I did the dishes."

What a graceful entrance! Are you sure you haven't done this before???

Ahhhh sweet sweet success!

Thanks Jeff for bailing me out again!

I've Been Tickled

I tried to find a picture to describe the incident that tickled me not once, but twice. Dad always warned me of the dangers of hauling a trailer that was too heavy for the vehicle or not packed right. The consequences might suck if it is your own car, but to me it is pretty HILARIOUS to pass a car/van/truck that looks like it is about to take flight as the front wheels are desperately grasping for some pavement to grab onto. I guess if you must overload the trailer you better have a rear wheel drive car and not expect too much turning!

   You never feed me.
     Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
      That will sure show you.

Vacation

If you could take a vacation anywhere in the world where would you go???

The Good Old Days

Never Lose Your Childish Sense of Wonder.

I couldn't have asked for a better brother.
Leif, I love you and miss you TONS!

Happy New Year!

I don't follow societal generalities when it comes to this holiday anymore. To me the "New Year" is not in January. A new year is when things come to and end and new sprigs of life and interest pop into view. That's why my new year starts in May. No specific day, just a full month of "New Year" celebrations. Why May? My life pretty much starts over every May, and this year is no exception. May is the month that school ends, I graduated, all of my students stop taking lessons for the summer, the symphony season is over, and in short, my life completely changes at this point.
