We don't have friends anywhere as close to us as you guys do. <BR/><BR/>And I am so happy for you that you got the free coffee.

My (most embarrassing) lock outs. (1) I locked myself out of the house when I was sans husband, and with my 1 1/2 y.o. daughter still inside - she was watching tv when I went outside to water the lawn. Landlord (who lives nearby and has spare key) was not around, and the fire dept had to come break the lock. That was shit scary.

I'm only asking because I'm supposed to be to work for 8 a.m., and, after getting my 19-month-old daughter up, ready, and off to daycare, I'm NEVER to work on time. (I also have a 45 min. commute to my job.) I'm jealous that you have time to do errands before work!
