Car keys

We were in American Fork the other day. We stopped at a Walmart and I managed to lock my keys in the car. Of course Ken had left his keys at home (Murphy's Law). We called the local police department for help and they came and got the keys out for us. The disconcerting part was how fast they broke into our car to get the keys out. It really makes you wonder if we should even bother locking our car. I guess it only keeps out the casual burgler, not the professional car thief.

10 more things about me

51. I love it when things are organized. A place for everything and everything in it's place.
52. When I was growing up I put tape down the center of the room I had with my sister so that I could keep "my half" clean while she had to keep her messy part on her side of the room.
53. When you marry someone who is not the same way inclined, you either have to ignore the clutter, go crazy, or fight about it. I chose to mostly ignore it, although I do occasionally go crazy.
54. Last time I lost it and cleaned up some of my husband's stuff that was on the kitchen table, he couldn't find anything (even though every bit of it was in a box at the foot of his bed) and he complained for weeks.
55. You'd never know it by looking at my house that I like everything in its place.
56. The hardest thing to keep in order is all of the paper that comes into the house. It sounds simple to say either file it, answer it or throw it away. But somehow it doesn't seem to always work that way.
57. Did I tell you already that when 2 pieces of paper are left alone at night they get together and multiply? So, in the morning there is a whole stack of papers.
58. It seems like every time I go to a store I get some new container in which I can store more "stuff".
59. Today I actually got rid of 10 shirts/blouses and 3 pairs of pants that I never wear.
60. I still have tons of stuff in my closet--is that good or bad?
