my very blonde moment

Last weekend Bethany and I went up to Santa Barbara to visit some friends and move the very last of our stuff to San Diego. It was a fun little trip, I got to shoot night photos and fire off illegal fireworks at the beach till 3 in the morning with a buddy of mine. Bethany hung out with her girlfriends and talked and talked and talked, talked some more, and... well... never stopped talking. What else to women do when they get together? They just talk.
So I was just looking through my snapshots from our weekend and I came across this photo and it made me laugh.



Here's the story-
We were downtown killing some time at a bookstore when I suddenly remembered that I parked my car in 75 minute parking, and it had been there at least 2 hours. So I ran back to the car. Sweet, no parking ticket. Reach in my pocket... Crap! No keys! I locked them in the car!
Hmmm, what to do...? No friends with Triple A, no cracked open windows, no spare key.... HEY WAIT! What about that little key thing I taped to the bottom of the car like 5 years ago?? I get on the ground under the car, low and behold, there it was! I couldn't believe my eyes because I put that thing down there sooo long ago and had never remembered about it. I thought about all the times in the past 5 years I had waited hours and hours for Triple A to come out and unlock my car. Probably 5 or 6 different times! I felt so lame now, knowing that there was a key down there that whole time! At least all those times I happened to have a friend present who had Triple A, so it was free. But still, that is probably one of the all time dumbest things I've ever done.
