Trash Talkin'

I got in my SUV this morning, feeling just a little pissed off. When I had gotten up earlier, I found a note from Mackenzie on my purse... in large red writing it said "There is a HUGE water leak in the basement. Look under the rug." Sure enough, I went downstairs and there was a large wet circle smack in the middle of the living room. No wetness leading up to the circle, no leak in the ceiling... I could only figure it was coming up from the concrete. Help me!!!!

So as I started my vehicle, the radio was blaring Bon Jovi's "Blaze of Glory". I love Bon Jovi! I thought about needing to download some of their stuff to my iPod, and then remembered it was trash day. I have a special method of taking out the trash, that is highly effective (especially when you're in heels and work clothes), and a bit stress relieving at the same time. Here's how you do it.

Depending on if you are pulling out of your driveway forward or backward, place your trash on top of your vehicle, closest to the curb. Since I have a long driveway, I back out of my garage, and drive forward out, so this morning my trash looked like this (only one bag this week):


Then mash the gas pedal to the end of the driveway, and slam on your brakes. The goal is to get good enough with your speed and alignment to get perfect placement of the bag on the curb. I nailed it this morning, with the bag landing right next to mailbox in the grass!

I'm going down in a blaze of glory...
