Macgyver and Lace


This past weekend mom and I went up to Provo in search of some interview clothing. It was sooo much fun. Aimee came on our shopping spree, which added to the great company. As some maybe wondering what MacGyver (or the picture) has to with any of the events of this weekend, I have a story for you.

Well before Aimee arrived at the University Mall, Mom and I rolled down our windows ( this is important to the story) to cool off and wait (I neglected to remember that my window doesn't come up all the way when it is rolled down). Anyway, Aimee drives up and parks and we start to get our stuff out of the car. While mom is getting her stuff together, Aimee and I attempt to get the window back up and get it most of the way and close the door. Mom opens the trunk and she sets her purse on the back seat. Well, the doors were locked and the back door swung shut, leaving us, yes, locked out of our car. After a brief moment of anger, we set out to be our own version of Macgyver. I, unfortunately left my Swiss army knife and duct tape at home, but luckily Aimee brought Burt (her car). And so, a slightly down window, medical tape, a plastic knife, fork, and spoon, two pens, a metal spoon, a rope, and fifteen minutes later the door came open. It wasn't as smoothly done as MacGyver but we took what we could get. After that the day went on in the normal shopping day would go. We went to Kohl's and got some really nice stuff. I'll have to share pictures sometime.

Hahaha! Provo must be the place to lock your keys in the car! I did that once too! I'm glad you had fun!

Wow, we really know how to use forks, spoons and knives, don't we. It was surprising to me how fast we got the car unlocked with the resources we had. Truly amazing!

PS I might add we had some heavenly help. Who ever thought a broken window would be a blessing? Be careful what you wish for...it may turn out to be a blessing after all!

I'm sorry that happened but...oh my word! lol! Of course MacGyver would have used a paper clip to make a bomb and also gotten the girl but you guys did okay in a pinch.

I have tried to comment here for the last few days and finally it let me. Yea! I really LOVE your blog!
