Could Only Happen to Us!

We had last night all planned out: 1. Dinner 2. Car Wash 3. Workout with Jillian Michaels, 4. Wash clothes, 5. Movie/Scrapbooking, and 6. Clean our disaster of an apartment. Okay, you know our "plans", so this is what actually took place..............

Just hanging out in
Alberton's Parking lot

It started out just another regular night for us. Steak dinner at Black Angus (we sure do love the $39 campfire meal for two) and then to Target, to buy another Jillian Michaels workout dvd. On the way to Target we stopped at a car wash to give Cammy (my car) her shower we have been promising her for weeks!! We splurged and got her the $11 wash, look out Tundras, this Camry is looking sharp and sparkly. So anyway, on to Target.  While there we bought us two workout dvds (Jillian Michaels and Zumba) and some "weights" (water bottles, real weights cost to much!). So far so good right? Once we got home, we added more money to our laundry card (yes we have to use a laundry facility just like we are back in college), and headed down to throw our clothes in the washer. All seemed to be going good so far. So while our clothes were washing we walked to Albertson's to return a Redbox and rent a new one to watch while scrapbooking. Hayley had sent me a code for a free rental so we were excited (love free stuff). Only problem is we didn't think to bring a credit card to use in case we kept it longer than one night. So of course, no movie for us. We didn't want this to be a completely wasted trip (her redbox was already charged another night since it was 1030), so we used this opportunity to have some fun  (see above). Once we got home we realized we had no dryer sheets, so of course we then walked up to Von's to grab some. Once getting back from the store the clothes had about 8 more minutes, so we went upstairs and put in both workout dvds to decide which on we wanted to do. After watching both, Jillian it was. So we grabbed our laundry card and headed back to the laundry room to dry the clothes. Halfway done putting clothes in dryer, "Holy Crap Hayley, I forgot to grab the keys. We are locked out!" Yes we got locked out of our apartment and it was around midnight!!!!!! NO phone, no keys, no nothing (except our trusty laundry card). What to do? We walked to the front to see if there was an emergency number posted anywhere, of course not. We memorized the main desk, grabbed some pooper scooper plastic bags from the mail room, propped open a few gates (you have to have a key to even enter the complex), and walked BACK to Von's. Hayley called the main number to see if there was a maintenance emergency number. She left a message "The is Hayley Harrison. I live in apt 307 and got locked out while doing my laundry. If someone could let us back in that would be great. I don't have my phone, so I had to walk up to Von's to use theirs. If you get this message We will be the two girls just roaming around the apt, and hanging out in the cabanas."  So how do you think this worked out?  No one ever came. We folded our laundry and brought it with us to the cabanas. Luckily we washed sheets and towels, b/c boy was it cold last night. Good thing we had both used the bathroom prior to this fiasco b/c the bathroom by the pool are locked. We only saw a few people during the night, and of course no one was willing to help until around 6am when we saw a lady we had met our first weekend here. She offered for us to come to her apt, but we politely declined (not wanting to impose). I'm not sure either of us slept at all! It was freezing, the benches were short, and my whole body hurt! Finally around 730 a maintenance guy came to unlock the cabana (yeah we climbed the gate) and was able to go get the master key and let us in! Well there's our fun filled night of being locked out in the freezing cold with no phones! What did people do without phone? Now we know, wait around for someone to finally come along and help. Anyway, I had some cheese grits and steak for breakfast and then it was off to relax for us (not before watching The Voice from last week and talking to Hope-Happy Birthday again!!!) Hope everyone elses Monday night was a little less adventurous than ours :) Well we are off to the LA Kings Hockey Game!  Till Next time!
