Seven Things About Me! ok Just one because #1 took a long time and I have to go Visiting Teaching. #2-#7 coming, and I promise they are good!!!

1. I have a fetish with locking things, some call it OCD. I can not comfortably ride in a car if I know the doors are unlocked. I will kinds wiggle around and not pay attention to what is being said in the car if the doors are unlocked. Since I have manual locks in my car, my friends think it is funny to pull up on the locks when I am not looking just to get my reaction. The sad thing about this is since I lock things a little to quick to often, I am kinda BFF with AAA. About a month ago, I locked my keys and my phone in the car at the gas station, pump #15 at the circle K to be exact (I will explain in a minute). It was horrible. I had to ask the lady at the counter to use her phone and then walk home and break into my house because my house key was on the key ring locked in my car. Then I had to get my AAA card and use my neighbor's phone, who happens to be an Asian twin who does not speak English. I stood on her porch using her phone to call AAA. As I am on the phone her twin sister who lives across the street starts yelling "who are you, what you need, why you at my sister's door." But you have to pretend that you read that with an Asian accent of a 60 year old women who looks like she is ticked. Anyway, I ran back to the gas station and the AAA guy was pulling up, perfect timing. One would think that that would teach me...you thought wrong, twon days later I locked them in again. I have 6 spare keys to my car, you would think I could pull one from a hat when I needed it. and please....DO NOT leave a comment telling me to get a little lock box under the car. I have thought of it, I just forget everytime I go to Target.
The other thing about my keys, since I am talking about them, is that I constantly lose them. When they are not locked in my car, I usually have to hang on to them because I lose them so much. My roommates told me the other day that I use the phrase "has anyone seen my keys" a little too much. Two weeks ago I lost them in Jane's backyard and her yard guys found them about a week later. ahhh. I just don't know what it is! So now I have 2 sets in my purse and one in my backpack.



Ok back to the pump 15 a circle K. That is a bad pump for me, any as of last night, also a bad pump for my roommate Kathy. We got stranded at the gas station, at that exact pump. She will blog about it later, I will let you know when, because we had an exciting night to say the least.

Sweet! I've locked myself out of my house, in my PJ's and had to go to the neighbors to call a locksmith. Also, the Pad Thai noodles came in a package with a little packet of sauce. I'm no gormet. I bet Jane has a recipe, though :)
