The mis-adventures of ME!

How many guys does it take to push my car out of the parking lot? FOUR.... 3 big burly guys, and one old skinny guy! However many, I'm grateful for the help!


Tonight, I left work late, as usual and when I got to my car, I knew I was in trouble... 1) because there was only one other car in the parking lot, 2) my tires are bald and there was massive snow in front, in back and on top of my car.

I tried for about 20 minutes to budge me, but no luck... keep in mind, I'm dressed in work clothes, and I don't mean work boots, coveralls and flannel, I mean MY work clothes, ya know - black pants, high boots and a flimsy sweater... After no luck - a guy came to help me! He and I tried for another 10 miutes until he was overcome with fumes, and I sent him on his way!

Finally, while waiting for my knight in shining armor to leave the gym and come rescue me, this old skinny guy came to help me! He was so nice, and he had a blanket, which he used to look underneath the car, but there was really nothing he could do either... Finally - the 3 burly's drove up in a big ole "getcha unstuck truck". They all got out of the truck, geared in full coveralls and beanie's, and pushed my car until I was free as a bird! Thanks heavens for Burly's!!

This is not exactly what they looked like... but kinda!
