I haven't gotten the chance to be on the computer lately. Ben has been such a computer hog and making me use the slow laptop while he plays his all time favorite game World of Warcraft. A word to the wise...any of you who have husbands...don't let them touch that game!! You will instantly become a widow! :)
The past few weeks have been very stressful for me. I don't know about Ben. He seems to be doing all right. I have not been able to talk to him much which makes me sad but I'm trying harder to ask him how his day goes each day. However, I do have a funny story to share...at least I think it is funny.
Ben and I are members of Anytime Fitness. We have not been going for about a month and we decided to start trying to go every day. We tried to start on Tuesday, 2 weeks ago (I think it was). We woke up at about 6:30 and I was still exhausted. Ben pushes me back into bed...I told him I wanted to go work out but he kept insisting I go back to bed (which was good because I'm trying to beat this ole sinus infection). Ben went out to start the car and let it warm up. He came back in the house and did a few things. 10 minutes later, he grabs his shoes, locks the door and heads out. There was still frost on the windows so Ben opens the back door to get the scraper...however, the back door did not open all the way. The car decided that someone was trying to break in and locked all the doors. Poor BEN! He was locked out of his car and apartment with his deaf wife sleeping oblivious to all noise around her! The sad thing was that morning was the coldest morning...I can't remember how cold it was but I know it was way below zero plus the wind was blowing. All this is happening while I'm asleep. Ben knocked on our neighbor's door and asked if he could use her phone book. She let him stay in the apt...(I also felt bad because he felt uncomfortable since her husband wasn't home and I'm sorry to say...their apartment doesn't smell so pleasant as well). Ben called the locksmith and paid 40 dollars to get the keys out of the car. Ben comes in the house and wakes me up. I felt so bad...I wished that I had been awake. Poor guy!!
This is not the end of the story either!! Thursday morning, Ben has to go to clinicals at the hospital at 7. I had to work at 10...but I wanted to be there early since I had to make up time I missed on Monday due to hives...that's another story I do not want to tell. Anyway...I got all ready to go to work and grabbed my lunch. I put my coat on, grabbed my purse, water bottle, and lunch and headed out the door. I locked the door and shut it. The minute I shut the door...I realized that I left the keys inside!! I was at loss....then I thought it was funny! I didn't know why but it sure was funny because it happened to Ben the other way around. Now it happened to me! I sat down on the stairs wondering what to do and how to get to work. I didn't want to walk even though it is only 1/2 mile away because it was cold. I texted everyone I could think of. I texted the ladies at work and my friend who lives close by. No one answered me...I was starting to think this wasn't funny anymore. However, one of the ladies at work responded and said that she could pick me up while at the same time my friend who lives practically next door said she could take me. So I had to hurry and text the other lady and tell her not to come get me. I ended up being to work at 10 which was a relief! I was on time but I had to stay later...oh well! I learned that I need to be patient and Heavenly Father will help me. I am so blessed to be able to text people! The wonders of technology!
Some of you may know...Ben and I have a history of locking ourselves out. Ben especially when I'm asleep. This wasn't the first time for him to lock himself out. I always tell him that's what he gets for marrying a deaf woman! We have decided that we are getting a spare key and trading spare keys with our downstairs neighbors. They are the only neighbors we trust in this part of the apartments. We are glad to have such great neighbors as them!
Well...I better go get ready for bed or I will be in trouble with Ben when he gets home and finds that I am not all ready for bed like he hopes I will. I do have another funny story that I wish to share but that will have to wait for next time and I still need to post pictures! Again....computer time is restricted for this woman! I am so glad to read all your blogs and love to know what is going on in your lives.

Those stories are very fun! It's always good when you can laugh! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the next one! And I do hope the sinus infection is gone soon if not sooner!
Chennelle,
If you pick the minima template, it will let your background show through, at least that is how I fixed mine!
Sorry Ben is forgetful! I'd go for the spare key with the neighbor plan. And you know you can always text me for help. It may take a while for me to get there, but I'll come and help!
Chenelle,
You better get one of those chains that you hook to your pants that you can attach keys to!!
Of course I'm kidding because they look so ugly.....
Do you think it has something to do with being deaf, locking yourself out of your house?
BTW, your stories made me laugh.
Yes, I think you're right--you need a spare key! I have one of those magnet boxes that you put on the undercarriage of you car that holds spare keys, so maybe you could get a few of those. It's good you can laugh about those experiences, they're good stories to tell your grandkids someday.
Oh goodness that is kinda funny. Yet at the same time not so funny. Glad all worked out well. Sounds like something Scott and I would do.
Hey Chanelle. This is what you need to do. This is one of the greatest ideas Grandpa Ted ever gave me. Go and get a copy of your car key. You may have to drill the hole a little bit bigger. Take your rear licence plate off. Line up the holes then put the screw through the plate and the key. Make sure the key is between the plate and your car. That's kind od important!! If you have a new car you won't be able to drive with this key, but it's just like valet key and you can open the door if you lock your other key inside. It'ts been a total life (and money) saver for me!! Plus everone knows what's in the black box in your tire well, but non one knows you have a key behind your plate. Ate least they didn't prior to this message!! :)~
