Ok, I seriously just tried to use my keyless entry for my car to open my house.
This is the third time I've tried to do this.
Anyone else ever try to do this? Or am I just a spaz (don't answer positive to the second question or i'll have to kill you)

The silly things we do

Why you should never talk about anyone behind their backs
Vesper, having a couple of moments alone from her parents while in Idaho, composes a text to Isabel:
My mom hated the sexy mermaid onesie. It was SOO AWESOME!!
Vesper presses send. She thinks about how she doesn't really remember putting Isabel's phone number in. When she looks up the text, to her horror she realizes she put in her mom's phone number instead of Isabel's!
Panicking, she calls her little sister, Twiggy:
Twiggy: Hello?
Vesper: YOU MUST GET MOM"S PHONE! I SENT HER A TEXT I DO NOT WANT HER TO READ!!!!!! YOUR MISSION IS TO GET HER PHONE AND DELETE IT!!!!!!
Twiggy: OK!
Twiggy, able to get whatever she wants from Vesper's parents, tells Mom that she must use her phone and runs outside to Vesper.
Twiggy: Mom was wondering what's going on ...she knows she got a text.
Vesper: OK, I'll just text her my order for lunch really quick
Disaster averted, Vesper realizes that she shouldn't talk bad about people any more, or at least not send the bad talking text to the person it is about.

Is your refrigerator running?
Yesterday, Gawain called in the morning shortly after he left for work:
Gawain: Umm Blowes just called, they are delivering the fridge today between 9 and 11.
Vesper: (looks at clock to see it is 830am, like any other normal mom at home with newborn, is still in p.j.s) Oh, well let me go then so I can take a shower really fast and clean out the fridge.
Two hours later, I am showered, dressed, the fridge has been properly de-condimentized (seriously, how do we have more condiments than actual food to eat in our fridge?), freezer has been organized for quick evacuation, and all of the magnets and drawings have been cleaned off the outside of the fridge.
It is now 30min past when I was supposed to feed the Professor. Not wanting to be caught with my shirt off, I heat up the bottle that Gawain is supposed to feed him and start feeding him. Seriously not 1 minute later, Blowes shows up with the fridge.
Vesper: (Mildly horrified) Humm..actually no I didn't!
To make a really long and bitter situation really short, the fridge would not fit into the door into our kitchen. Its measurements were something like 26 and 3/4 in, and the door was about the same. Solution presented was to take off the door jam, which Blowes would not do.
Vesper (in bathroom talking to Gawain on phone): What should I have them do??
Gawain: Can't they just plug it in in the living room????
Thus how we ended up having our fridge, plugged in, in the living room. Needless to say, dinner was annoying to make last night.
Luckily, Gawain was finally able to get the fridge into the kitchen, but that is another story for a different time.

I'm with stupid, or How I almost died last night
So I must admit that I am blond. I feel I am not the typical blond, but I do have blond moments. These moments I am never very proud of.
Last night, Gawain and I bought a car! A new(er) car! Our first new(er) car! I wish that was what this post is about but its not.
Gawain was VERY nice and let me drive the new(er) car home from the dealership. Halfway home the dealership called and said "Wait you didn't give us a down payment!" Everyone was very excited when we left so both they and I totally forgot! I said I would turn around and come pay it right then.
When I got back in the car after paying the down payment, it was completely dark and I felt a little nervous because I was downtown, in an area I'm not very familiar with, and I am terrified of driving up hills in a stick, especially a new(er) car stick. But i decided I could do it, I would do it, and I would make it without getting lost!
It started to rain on the way home (typical) and I figured out how to work the wipers. This new(er) car was so fancy! I even programed my fav. radio stations and was rocking out to the music. Our old car had had the radio stolen from it so for the past 3 years I usually just drove around in silence. This was AWESOME!!! I only wished that the buttons were lit up better so I could tell what was the volume knob and what was the station knob.
The first 20 min of the drive home were uneventful. I went the normal way, going down a tiny freeway and through a darker industrial part of town. As I turned onto a street closer to ours, a car pulled out right in front of me and started acting all weird. It got in the lane next to mine and slowed down. I figured it wanted to admire my new(er) car in all of its awesomeness. As it kept acting this weird way and slowing down and speeding up next to me, all the way down the road, I started a very tiny freak out. We had opted not to get the security system, rationalizing that we could definitely find one cheaper than $700. What if this car was trying to follow me home to steal my precious new(er) car!?
I turned on my street, thankfully without being pursued, and got to my house. As I turned up my driveway, I noticed how terribly dark it was tonight. I was glad the neighbor we shared our driveway with wasn't home so I didn't have to maneuver too fancifully around her car with my new(er) car. As I got closer to our garage, I realized, with horror, that I should definitely have died at some point on my longish way home, and perhaps worse, wrecked the new(er) car!
I didn't have my lights on for the whole 10 mile journey from downtown to my house.
I just sat in the car for a second, thinking how completely stupid I was, trying to make up excuses for why I hadn't turned the lights on. I know I had been anxious about driving alone, downtown, at night, in the rain, where I might have to drive up hills in a stick, but still, that was NO EXCUSE for not turning the lights on. No wonder that car was acting so weird. The new(er) car is black so it was probably hard for him to see and that's why he turned out in front of me! I felt very embarrassed, too embarrassed to share my stupidity with Gawain, so hopefully he still loves me and wants to talk to me after reading this.
I hate how you learn things from making mistakes. I hate to make mistakes. But I'm glad in a very weird and shameful way that I made that mistake, so I NEVER forget to turn the lights on ever again!!!
