Good morning and happy Friday!!!!  The weekend is upon us and not a moment too soon 😀

So I have to share a TRUE story of what happened here yesterday. 

I got off work yesterday afternoon with every intention of going to Kick Boxing.  I got home, wasn’t sure what time the class was, left a message with the teacher, got busy responding to comments, and then finding out the class was at 5:30 and I still needed to make dinner for Al and a lunch for him (he has been working overnight on a road project) I decided I could not be super woman, took off my cape and resigned myself to cooking. 

When food was done I text Al, believing he was in the office behind our home, and told him dinner was done, his lunch was packed come and get it!  He called me and said he had actually went to the job site (30 minutes away) early to get some prep work done and would be gone for the night.  Our conversation then went something like this:

Me:  Seriously?  You couldn’t have sent me a quick text and let me know that you were leaving early? 

Al:  Sorry, didn’t think of it.

Me:  I could have went to kick boxing, but I didn’t think I had enough time to make you dinner and do that.  If I would have known, I could have went to the class.

Al: *silence*  (He is good at that)

Me:  Well, fine.  Dinner is done I guess for whenever, see you in the morning then.

Then I decide, well I am home, and it is nice out and I should start mowing the lawn.  It is a three hour project and I thought I could start it, do the front, and finish the back tomorrow.  I go to the garage and our college sons car has been parked in such a way that I can not get the mower around it.  I go back in the house and scrounge for keys… I find keys.  I then spend the next ten minutes trying to start the car.  It will not turn.  It is a newer car (mistake purchase by our son but that is another story….) so I think maybe it has a button you need to push before the key will turn, I search around…. nothing. 

I call Al.

Al:  Hello?

Me:  Is there a secret to starting Justins car?

Al:  Not that I know of.  Why?

Me:  I need to move it to get the mower out… I cant turn it on. 

Al:  So you got the keys out of the shop.

Me:  No, they were in the house.

Al:  Those are to his old car.

Me:  Fine… I got this….

I get the CORRECT keys, move the car get the mower out… FINALLY!  Wasted time:  20 minutes, but we can still do this!  I mow 1/4 the front yard and run out of gas.  I go to the garage and thankfully find a container that has a little in, hopefully enough to finish the yard… and I put it in the mower and go to start it and….

break the key off in the ignition. 

Yup.

Now I am sitting in the front yard on the mower staring at the key slot wondering if I am being PUNKED.  I take the broken key and try to hold it to where it broke off inside and turn… after three attempts… it works.

I continue mowing now trying to think of how I will shut it off when I am done… I need not have worried, about 15 minutes later…. I ran out of gas.  😯

So now… what? 

Frustrated, I am determined to finish the front lawn.    I grab the empty container to put in the jeep to go get gas and I must have bumped my IPOD (which ear buds are still in my ears) and suddenly Adam Ant is playing You Dont Drink and Dont Smoke which is a great 80’s song… and I break out in dance in my garage. 

Yes I did. 

The.. whole… song.

The odd thing is I did not know I had any music on my IPOD… I only use my IPOD to download books.  😀

I did get gas, I did finish the front lawn with a broken off key, and I lived to tell the story.  😀

So the moral of this is, may your Friday put a little dance in your step.  😀
