What would you do...

If you got in your car at 6:30AM, running late to start your 50+ mile commute on once again partially icy/snowy roads, and saw this



and then this?



I'm guessing you'd stop at the gas station?

Next, you pull up to the gas station and hit the button to pop open the gas tank flap and then get out to fiddle with the credit card and pressing buttons. You're freezing your buns off (literally because you fell in the snow on your way to the car) and you look down to realize the flap didn't open. *&%!. You press it again. Nothing. It's frozen. What now?

I'd love to hear some of your creative responses to that problem. Never happened to me before.

I wish I could say I kept my cool. Nope. I banged on it while cursing (not under my breath) and kept pushing that button over and over and banging harder and harder until it finally popped open.

HA!

Don't worry - My day turned itself around once I was on the road, where God reminded me of how lucky I feel to live here with this spectacular sunrise (that my iphone camera could never adequately capture) followed by a day full of sweet children and grateful educators who make my school such a fun place to be!



And I don't want to forget about most exciting event of the day....the HUGE DUKE victory over UNC last night! Hell Yes! Things weren't looking good the first half but they managed to turn it around. My sister and Dad were there last night - what a game to watch :) She sent me this afterwards...
