My car.

My car is stuck.  I was at a friend's house picking up some jars for canning, and when I went to move my car, it wouldn't budge.  The ignition was all locked up.  No biggie.  I jiggled the steering wheel to see if that would work.  The only thing that accomplished was locking my steering wheel.  I ended up taking my friends hugenormous pick up truck so that I could get to group.  I was approximately 1 minute late to group, coming in and apologizing for my car troubles.

I got out of group, came home (in the big truck) and went back that night to see if someone else could free my ignition.  This of course was after 3 of us had already tried every trick we knew.  4th try was a bust.  More jiggling of the wheel, moving it up and down, trying graphite, the spare key, and jacking it up of the ground.  All unsuccessful.  Home I came again in the big truck.  The big truck and I are starting to have a lovely time together, however, I won't miss it too much when I get my nice little car back.  Or don't...I may be buying a new car soon.

Fortunately, I don't have the kids this weekend, so if big truck and I are stuck together, so be it.  I don't have to tote kids around :)

Cars.  Can't live with them, can't live without them!
