This is the best picture I was able to get of Ariel during the ice show last weekend.

DD and I were trapped in our garage for about 5 minutes last night, due in equal parts, to my own stupid move and the fact that our garage door decided to act up. One door was latched from the outside and the other was inaccessible because my car was blocking the handle.

I even had a little trouble reaching my cell phone because it was in the car and I couldn't get into the front seat easily! Finally, I did, and called a neighbor for a rescue. At least I didn't have to break a window, like I did when I was about 8 and got trapped in Mom & Dad's garage!

Towards the end, DD was starting to get a little upset, saying, "we'll never get out of here!"

I guess it wasn't my day yesterday; earlier, I had charred a bag of of popcorn in the microwave at work; it was soooo bad there was smoke hanging around the ceiling!
