snow in the alley sucks

i got stuck not once, but twice trying to get in and out of my garage within 3 hours. to the point of: a. i was about to cry with frustration b. never move my car again this winter. and by stuck i meant my wheels were spinning and my car wouldn't go forward or backwards. so i was leaving this morning to go for my sat run and got ridiculously stuck. my super nice neighbor, colin, helped me out. i'd never met him before today, but i was so grateful. 25 minutes later, i'm finally on my way to the run. which i got to late. and i had to run to catch up to everyone. it sucked. but i did catch up. and it was freezing! go down the first part was fine. turning around in to the wind sucked. i seriously thought i'd lose about all of my fingers to frostbite. then, i drove home and got stuck again in the alley. arghhhhhhhh. thankfully the guy who lives right behind my place had his garage open and was quick to offer me some help. about 45 freezing minutes later, mario and mario jr had helped me get my car into the stupid garage. where it will now still for an indeterminate amount of time. as in until the snow melts or i forget about this miserable experience. i'm guessing the snow melts first.

btw, devs... you're raffle ticket was almost a winner.... you were what, 74? they called 73. i was po'd. i won nothing. booo!

um, good reason to stay inside.

nice to hear that there are still kind people out there, despite freezing temps and a bad economy.
