Elasti-Girl

Vacation is fun!

Tomorrow I am leaving for Arizona. I am also moving in the same week that I will be visiting. I decided to do it the smart way and let Tyler do all the moving. It wouldn't be the first time and as much and I feel bad for him, I also want to visit AZ too. To make the transition easier for Tyler, I pre-packed a lot of stuff for him so he can just take it and go. I still feel bad but that's besides the point.
With less than 24 hours until my plane leaves, I had very little time to get stuff done. So this morning I left for Rexburg to do taxes, mail vinyl, drop off more vinyl and email about more vinyl.
As I was driving back to my humble abode in Rigby, I was rocking out to Across The Universe soudtrack. I was really getting into "Hey Jude". It's as rock and roll and I get. As I am rocking my way to the curb and to my front door...I realize that I locked my keys in the car.

Awww shucks....It's just like me. I had previously locked myself out of my apartment earlier that week and luckily the bachelors upstairs came to my rescue and let me in. They were both gone. I decided I could either wait outside until the car magically opened itself or I could try my luck and just walk in and get the spare key in my apartment.

Just like Idaho, it was open and I got halfway into my place. I felt like I was in a Mario Bros game because as soon as I got through one door, I had another locked one to get through.
So, I had an awesome idea to get on my knees and pray. So I asked Heavenly Father to give me the knowledge of how to pick the lock. I don't think I prayed correctly because I did not become a mastermind of locksmith. Nevertheless, I knew I would be okay and he would help me. By this time, I was also reminded of Elder Worthin's talk, Come What May & Love It. It actually was pretty funny.

I then got another idea. I had my bike by the side door. I could just ride my bike to Rexburg and get a spare key from Tyler. Even though it was 12 miles, I needed the exercise.

Well, just that morning, I took the key to my bike chain out of my pocket and put it on the key ring holder...in the apartment. Darn.



The only thing left to do was to go down the the library and research how to pick a lock. So I walked a mile down the the library and got on one of the computers. I have used these computers before but this time, a librarian came up to me.

Madam Marian Librarian: Do you have a library card?

Me:...No...

MML: Well, I can let you use the computers once and then you will have to get a card.

Me*thinking to myself*I just need to get into my car so I don't really care about your library policy and shtuff!***............okay.............


WikiHow made it look so easy! I tried for about 30 minutes and made a new plan.


I was just about out of ideas until I looked into my washroom and saw this.


and I squeezed back there and then found this


It was my only way in and I had to take it! So a sucked it in and squirmed in.


Here is a view from the other size.


And I am free!
