La, di da, here I am getting ready to go to work. La, di da, I leave my house. La, di da, I close and lock the door.
CHAPTER 2:
OH, NO. I have forgotten to take my keys. I am locked out of my house, and I have no keys. No car keys. AH, but at least I have my cell phone. I will call the office. I will admit that I am going to be later than usual. Oh, NO.
Chapter 3:
Hello, office? It's me, the Diva. I have locked myself out of my condo. I have to break in. Yes, indeed. And climb through my window, which is not exactly the most graceful thing to do when you're pushing 60. I mean, really. I am not going to quit my day job to become a cat burgler.
Chapter 4:
La, di da. Here I am at work. Like nothing happened at all. La, di da.

La di da, I know what you mean. I'm pushing sixty four, it's about to arrive, la di da, I'm going to pretend it isn't happening, la di da, I'm still sixty three WHICH IS BAD ENOUGH!
But Utah, when you do turn 64, we can hire Paul McCartney to sing for you...
Still, the picture of me hauling my perfect pink butt through the window was not pretty.
What a fun morning! You need a dog = dog door = an easier way to sneak in when you "forget" your keys. Of course, the dogs have to be smart enough to realize it's you arching your back, snaking your arm up & around to the door handle, so they won't attack.
I assume when you finally arrived at work, you were all la-di-dah, here I am, what's YOUR problem.
Ah, DK, I cannot have a dog door. You see, our condo association voted ages ago for these metal "security" doors - no dog door will work. And it was the security door that was locked. And yes, I was completely all la-di-da, what's your problem? Natural blond.
thank you for letting me have a chuckle at your expense (and mine as i envision myself doing that exact same thing. indeed i have on a couple of occasions) ;)
I love it when something unscheduled happens without repercussions.
That was funny, good one! Can't say I've ever done that but I am sure if you have decried them in the past you were thankful for the cell. glad you didn't hurt yourself!
Thanks for the comment on "Maggy." I hope you keep reading. I value you opinion and would appreciate editing suggestions. Writers are seldom their own best editors.
diva that was great, excellent the angle from which you told that!
Betmo, you thought this funny? I did not think so as I was climbing on the chair, hoisting my ass over the window frame.
Frederick, what made you think that my being a natural blond was unscheduled?
Patriot, I love my cell phone. It's free, and it keeps me aware of the time of day. And I just learned how to text message.
Utah, I will keep reading, as long as I don't wind up in traction from breaking and entering. La-di-fucking-da.
And Patriot, which angle would that be?
I did the opposite & locked myself out of the car a few times, now I carry a spare in my wallet.... I can now save myself!
Doh!
Hey I am impressed you can hurl your ass through a window.... not sure I am up to the task.
omg...toooooo funny..ok..well..not for you...but still....hauling one's ass at any age is never...well, fun or dignified...but oh think of all the chuckles you have given all of us.....and well....your neighbors...
I noticed when you called your work you told them you would be later than "usual" Hope they didn't notice that.
Fran, so I guess you won't leave the call center to become a car thief. Years ago, my car was stolen, then recovered - but they'd popped the key thingy out. The cops showed me how to hotwire the car until I could get it fixed. I was good, too.
Enigma, I am so happy to be a never ending source of amusement to you...
Larry, you could probably see the steam coming from my boss's ears...
La-di-frickin-dah! Where have I heard that? I can hear the voice, but not place the face or place! It's a man & his voice goes up about an octave on the frick.
DK, that was the late Chris Farley who said la-di-frickin-da.
You mean you don't keep a copy of the key underneath a flower pot like in all the good movies?
RG, I don't. I don't, because I am a natural blonde.
Whoa, in Chapter 3 you started turning into a George Bush look-a-like. I'm glad you've returned to your normal self.
Agi, thank you for noticing that "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" moment in Chapter 3. I really felt that it was the only image to use - I had indeed channeled Bush to have done something SO stupid.
Do it enough times and you get used to it.
God, do I know!...:
TUA, I hope I never channel George Bush again!
