Being Buff and Tuff!
I feel pretty good about myself right now. I just successfully broke into my house.
You see, here's what happened:
I was sitting outside writing my final english paper trying to get a tan. Good plan, right? Maximize sunshine absorption and productivity. My roomie Tim leaves the house and I cordially wish him a good afternoon. All is fine until I remember that I've left water boiling on the stove for my soup. Oops! So, I decide to re-enter the house to make myself some instant "Vegetarian Chicken Free Ramen Noodles". Also a good plan. I walk up to the house with my handy dandy laptop and try to open the door. *stomach drops* Oh shit! The door is locked. I don't have my cell phone, the house is going to burn down and I CAN'T GET IN!!!! Next plan of action is to break in. I manage to pry off one of the screens of a window leading into my living room. But, to my dismay, the window is locked and there is no way that I am going to be able to open it. I run around to the back porch. Door locked. Damn. But wait! I notice that the window leading into the kitchen from the side of the house is unlocked. There is only one slight problem: it is at least 5 feet above my head. I locate a handy dandy ladder that is being stored under the porch and proceeded to struggle with it, dropping it several times. (It's one of those intense ladders that just leans against the side of the house and can extend really far.) With the help of a neighbor I prop the ladder up against the window. Fighting my fear of heights and fear of just toppling down to my death, I climb the ladder and after many attempts pry the screen off the window. Opening the window, my cats jump up onto the ledge to greet me. Lovely. (The next step was by far the most difficult/dangerous and scary.) I climb up the back side of the ladder (note: this means that I'm hanging off of it kinda like a monkey) and prop my ass on the window ledge. SAFETY! I climb in through the window, turn off the stove and rescue the house from a potential fire. Phew! And now, folks, I'm eating my "Vegetarian Chicken Free Ramen Noodles".
Praise be to Adonai. ;)
