It’s been an extremely long exhausting day. I ran up to Little Rock to run some errands for work. Nothing major just picking up records doing a few drops offs and picking up a couple orders. Also made it over to CompUSA and got that cat5 cable I needed to run the network through the shop for Daddy-O. On my way in from LR I stopped in Pine Bluff and picked up his b-day cake. Nothing much eventful yet you say..
After I paid for everything I get out to the car and notice I can’t find my keys. Not normally being one to leave them in the car I went back into the store without looking to see if I locked them in the car. Traced all my steps and couldn’t find them. I was starting to freak out. Back out to the car and see my darn keys in the ignition!! It had been a long day so being the non-macgyver I am stood there wondering how much a new back side window would cost if I put that 12 pack of mt.dew in my cart through it. Being almost 3hrs from home I was not willing to stand in the parking lot without my smokes while either Daddy-O or Hubby made the drive. Remembered James used my car antenna a couple years ago to hit the power lock button on my old car it might work now. Guess what? I got so fed up with my antenna falling out when I washed the car Hubby put a new one in that unscrewed from inside the trunk. I couldn’t get that thing off to save my life. Just as I was getting ready to break it off or try to anyhow a sweet guy collecting carts came to my aid. He ditched his carts and found a coat hanger then spent the next 30+ minutes trying to get in my door jam and hit the button. Was a no go I called Daddy-O in tears “please daddy magically fix my car from 3hrs away and make my keys appear in my hand right now” was what was running through my mind but what actually came out of my mouth was, “If I bust out the back window of my car will you buy me a new one?”.. OMG I was so tired and ready for home not to mention smoke starved for menthol. After another 15 minutes or so another guy stopped by and tried in vain to get a slim jim to open the door lock. Was also a no go. But I gotta tell you I can not believe the efforts and kindness of these two men. They were awesome and weren’t leaving until they got me in my car. I asked one of them to help me look around for a car that had a removable antenna. I was totally gonna unscrew it if I found one and open my damn car door. When I said that the second guy said his was removable and went and took it off. Few minutes later antenna in hand he opened my door. THANK GOD FOR PPL WHO STILL HELP OTHERS!!
I was so happy to get in my car I offered money in return for their help and they both refused it. So what else is left for a purse wench to offer up? Yep purses for their wives gave them both cards and asked them to have the ladies pick what ever one they wanted free of charge. Haven’t heard from them yet but sure hope they take me up on my offer. After all that still had the drive home. But it was made with no further woes and Daddy-O got his b-day cake of course it was almost 10pm but he still flashed a smile when he blew out those candles.
