This morning I couldn’t find my keys. Now, it’s very unusual for me to misplace them, so after spending 30 seconds looking in the most obvious places (on the end table, on the couch if I threw them down the night before, on the bar, or on the floor around the end table) I stopped to think about the last place I’d had them. Which was last night when I came home from running errands and opened the door. I had a lot of stuff in my hands and was anxious to turn the TV on to catch The O.C. (pathetic, I know), so I left the keys in the door momentarily while I hurried in to drop the grocery bags on the kitchen counter, then back to the car for the second load, then back inside.
This morning when I couldn’t find them, I remembered all that and opened the front door. There were my keys, still hanging in the lock. Just as they had been all night. Whoa. I felt some relief knowing that my door has a deadbolt that I always lock, and so even if someone had happened along, they wouldn’t have been able to get into my apartment. But they could’ve gotten into my garage, and taken my car or something. Eek. Talk about dumb!
Anyway. Crisis averted, and I’m sure I won’t do that again.
I am so excited about the Apprentice finale tonight, it’s ridiculous. Ooh, and last night at the store I impulse bought these mint ‘n creme Oreos (I love minty things) and they are SO yummy. And, for the moment, I’m in first place in my all-star fantasy baseball league. I’m in sixth place in my other league. I care a lot more about my placement in the all-star league since serious bragging rights (and a Homer Simpson beer trophy) are at stake.
Tonight after the Kwame vs Bill showdown, I’m going to start gathering everything I need for the MS150 this weekend. Yes, it’s here, and I’m now officially getting a little anxious. I hope I’m prepared! I hope I can ride that far! I leave with the Dow team from Rhodes Stadium in Katy, which means I have to be in Katy by 6 a.m., which means I have to get up by like 4:45 at the latest. YUCK. But my bike is in good shape, I have spare tires tubes, and yesterday I bought new socks (one pair with Godzilla on them and one with flames). I also bought a new pair of bike shorts that were expensive (why are bike shorts so expensive??), but they do have super duper padding in the butt, so hopefully it will turn out to be a worthy purchase!!
If any of you would still like to donate to the cause (all money benefits the National MS Society), follow this link or the one in the sidebar. I’ve met the minimum fundraising requirement, but since when should I settle for the minimum? So donate away!
