Keys, Rings, and other Things.


I had a fun day off yesterday. I went to the gym with a friend then we had lunch and went shopping. Anyway after the shopping we were heading back to my truck when all of a sudden I realize I don't have my keys. So I turn to her and say "I don't have my keys". After freaking out with me a bit, she checks her pockets and exclaims, "I don't have mine either!".

 

SO after thinking a bit she decides she must have left hers at the gym, and I conclude that mine are locked in the truck. No worries though, we're fairly near to her house and her fiance', and my other good friend/coworker, is on her way home from work. SO the plan was that we'd walk back, wait for her to get home, then she could take me to my apartment where I could get the maintance people to let me in, pick up my spare key so that I could get into my truck, then it would simply be a matter of going back to the gym to get her keys. Sounds simple right?

 

Well on the walk to her house, we're talking about how unfortunate it is that we can't simply call the other girl to come and pick us up or even to let her know what's going on (but we can't because her phone is broken). So then I say "It sure is a good thing we both have our phones at least". Then I stop and remember something. See when we'd originally left the truck we'd had to go BACK, because my friend had accidently left her cell phone. SO that made me realize that I still had my keys at that point because I was able to let her back in. Now there was no way I could have then relocked the truck with my keys in it because I never got back into the truck, I simply unlocked the passenger side door and stepped out of the way. I'd have had to reach past her to put my keys down, and that woulda just been very unlikely and weird.

 

SO that meant that I musta left them at one of the shops. SO we turned around and hiked back, and checked all the stops we'd made. No luck at first, then all of a sudden my friend remembers that in the 2nd store (where we'd already unsuccessfully looked), I had been examining some of the shirts that were displayed on a ledge. So we go BACK to that store and sure enough there are my keys sitting on the little ledge! :D

 

So then we went back to her place only to realize that we couldn't actually get in since...well DUH she doesn't have her keys! LOL, but waited and her fiance' got home a few minutes later. She found it quite amusing that for a good 45 minutes neither one of us had our keys. She tends to help us both keep track of things, it's really quite amazing. Everytime I lose something at work she's always the one that turns it up. And of course she's always locating things for her absent-minded girlfriend as well.

 

Anyway, after all the keys were recovered we went to the mall because the wedding rings had arrived but one of them needed to be resized so they wanted to pass by a few jewelry stores and get some estimates (and of course I never pass up a trip to the mall :P:boy: ). Anyway, while we're all hanging out they ask me to be there "ring bearer bearer". See their twi cats are going to be the ring bearers (cute huh!), but I'm going to carry the cats up! :D

 

So yay, I'm quite excited! I haven't been this excited about a wedding in years, so it's really awesome that I get to be a part of it, and it's even more special since it's for my two best (Houston) friends!! :D This'll be my first lesbian wedding too!

 

In other news I'm completely obsessed "Paralyzer" by Finger Eleven! I heard it for the first time yesterday and I musta already listened to it a hundred times!

 

Well I

Nice save on the keys!

 

Paralyzer caught my ear too. It wasn't anything I'd expected from Finger Eleven given what I'd previously heard of them--not that I expect the radio to play good music most of the time anyhow. :P But I fear this song is apt to end up on the 'songs I liked before they were overplayed' heap.

 

A "ring bearer bearer" or the ceremonial cat herder? It's cool either way. :)

 

Have fun with your 100th entry.

Kevin, this wouldn't have happened had you not gone shopping. This therefor proves my contention that shopping is hazerdous to health and sanity, and should be avoided at all costs. :P

I'm surprised that with all this hanging around the mall, you did not meet yet the other big hazard: being offered a greeter position at Abercrombie & Fish by guys stalking you in the parking lot.

LOL, purely coincidentally (I swear!) I happen to be listening to it again right now. I don't typically feel like a song is "overplayed", unless I don't like it to begin with, or only marginally like it. With songs that "grab me", and that I voluntarily go home and listen to 20 or 30 times in a row :P , I seldom feel like they're ever "overplayed", even if I do get to the point of no longer craving them.

hahahhaa! Two sides to every coin :boy:

Thanks! I may just do it tonight!

 

Have an awesome day and take care!

HAHAHA! But it all worked out! And if it hadn't happened I wouldn't have the delightfully amusing memory of my friend and I both simultaneously loosing our keys and thus wandering the streets of Houston :P

 

So you see, shopping is the stuff memories are made of :D:boy:

 

Have a fantastic day and take care, CJ :D
