Helpful Hint from Heidi

When you finally get some time by yourself and you go grocery shopping late-ish at night...it is helpful to remember where you parked.

And while it is helpful to remember where you parked, it is simply crucial to remember which car you drove. Because if you walk around looking for YOUR car but you drove your husband's? You'll be wandering for awhile.

Just sayin'.

I've done that many times. I've also been wandering around clicking on my car unlocker button hoping that will help me find my car, while forgetting that I didn't drive my car. So embarrassing!

I used to work at this bank at one of those old strip malls, and we would see people out there in the parking lot doing the zombie-walk just searching for their cars because they forgot where the parked it. Funny as heck, we could always tell...we were not that busy...

I park in a structure at work and there has been so many times I have walked down into the ground floor and beeped my alarm to hear it above me. I feel for you.

I wish I could say I can't relate. I recently did this KNOWING which car I took. I went in one door and came out on the opposite side. In my defense, I was on the phone when I came out. :) That was the only reason I had a problem.

I always shop during the day so that doesn't happen...because I have never thought someone has stolen my car. LOL

Cheryl said...

Yeah...BTDT. It's amazing how a Honda sedan looks nothing like my own Chevy truck...lol.

A couple of weeks ago I borrowed my brother's car to run and pick up some meat at the store. I drove around for a couple of minutes to get a spot I would remember. I just knew I would come out of the store and forget which car was his! So I kind of know what you're saying.

Sarah said...

And, I have to say I love shopping late-ish at night. Without kids!:)

This is why I try to never drive Dan's Buick. Aside from the fact that I can't stand it, and he doesn't like me driving it...it has still happened to me too.

I can see how that would be extremely helpful!

I sent you the list of Hair Dare participants. Let me know if you didn't get them. There are a few more last minutes to add: Lydia, Ed, and Sue.

Kasey said...

Great Tip! I'll try to remember it for sure!

Hey- I saw that you watch the Biggest Loser: Who are you rooting for? I am sorry but I am so glad that whats her face got the boot this past week! She annoyed me to no end!

I would like for Mike to win and I want for his Dad to stick around long enough to lose some more weight! and what about the older blond women? (I'm horrible with names!) She is so driving me crazy too! I mean what kind of mother would send her own daughter home just so she could stay for herself? I mean seriously?! Have some compassion lady!!!
