So we were leaving the house to go over to Chris and Holly's for movie night. I was locking the door...part of the key came with me, part of it stayed in the lock....Then Shannon remembered that we had forgotten the movie.

So we were like crap...locked out of the house, but we did have a cell phone, so I called Chris and had him look up a locksmith. I called, it'd take a while, so I took Shannon over there came back and I didn't have too long to wait before Strauss Safe and Lock Company (one of the employees there lives just down the street from me) showed up and unlocked my front door and got the key out of the lock.

Quick, friendly service.

I grabbed the spare key, paid the man and locked the door, carefully, and headed over to Chris and Holly's. We ended up watching Employee of the Month, which was funny (a rental not a buy).

That's the second time I've locked myself out of my house...this one, however, was not really my fault...
