Earth Day Irony
I'm choosing to laugh about this. Well, I'm *trying* to.I caved and drove my car to go get a few groceries tonight. Really, being environmentally conscious is not just about one day (just like you should be loving and do nice things for your husband on days other than February 14) - and so I swore I'd make it up by walking for groceries the whole time we're in Abbotsford. Anyway. It was late and I was tired. And I totally locked my keys in my car.
I figured out that this is why people get to know their neighbours. With no one close by to sit in our house for 10 minutes while Briony slept and Geoff brought me the extra key on his scooter, I was forced to call a cab to drive me home and then back to the grocery store to retrieve my car. Which essentially means that I drove to the store TWICE on Earth Day - the day I was really wanting to not use my car at all.
A few choice words spring to mind. But I'm really honestly trying to laugh about it. I'll let you know how that goes.

Tee hee. I live in the sticks, and even I didn't start my car yesterday...
It's funny... I need to go to my neighbour's, who lives directly across the section from me. And I was thinking how nice it would be NOT to have to start my car to go to the neighbours. But it would be a two mile walk each way, and I'm not sure Scarlett and I like the stroller enough for that. So, next time you're walking somewhere you need to go because you can, just think of me firing up my car for a four-mile trek to the neighbour's.
