Colder than a Witches Boobie! Well guess who didn't make it to work? That would be me. I tried, damn I tried. I tried to leave at 7:45. It was all of 18 degrees outside. I went out and opened the door of my car and it was frozen. We fought for a minute and I won. Or so I thought. I got in and went to close the door and it just banged and flew back open. I figured I'd be smart and pull it as tight as I could and locked it. That worked. I started the car and turned on the heat full blast. Then I tried to unlock the door so I could get out and scrape the 2 inches of ice off the windows. The damn door wouldn't unlock. OK. I sat there for a few minutes and then went into my acrobatics of pulling up my legs passed the shifting lever to crawl out the passenger door. Frozen. Now I'm not what you would call claustrophobic, but sitting in a car not able to get out with snow and ice covering all the windows gave me a little bit of nervousness here. I thought for a moment and remembered I had feet. I layed down across the seat and kicked the hell out of the door. I win again! Now I am standing on the outside of the car, but even after scraping the windows, the door wouldn't budge on the drivers side. Well, Duh! It was locked! I crawled into the back seat and got into my acrobatic mode angain and pulled the keys out of the ignition. I tried the door lock. No go. Finally, I took the keys and went back into the house and called into work. I told my boss that I needed to take a personal day and she said fine. So now here I sit. Waiting for it to warm up enough to run up to Auto Zone for some De-icer. God I love New England! It is now 10:30 and it is still only 20 degrees. I think I am going to have to crawl through the passenger door again to get to the store. Oh well, it's like doing arobics. I will just have to stop at Dunkin Donuts and get a dozen donuts to fortify myself. More accrobatics because I can't use the drive-through. The windows are all frozen too. (sigh) Later... Later,
