Everyday Criminal
Long story short - tonight we had Christmas with Angela's Mom's side of the family - around 15-20 grandkids (of which we are included), a few great-grands, and all the aunts/uncles/cousins/etc.
We left early to get Mia to bed and realized we hadn't garnered the appropriate keys to enter Angela's folks' home. So, stuck in the driveway, 30 minutes away from the keys and 60 minutes late from Mia's bedtime, I took on the mindset of "I can't be stuck in this car for another 45 minutes."
Only two doors in their house don't have deadbolts - one leading to the garage, and one leading from the garage into the house. For all you wannabe house enterers out there, the Ann Taylor credit card does not (!) work to open doors. But, the Safeway frequent shopper/discount card works wonderfully. If only car doors opened so easily.
As an aside, Smokey the dog just looked on in quiet, cold confusion as to what I was doing. He won't tell anyone....

Congrats on posting your confession of being on the naughty list where the blogging elves can pass it on. Nicely done.
Oh, and Merry Christmas!!!
Just FYI, if anybody goes back to look at old posts; we installed deadbolts on the aforementioned doors two weeks ago (It's 1/19 now) and truth be known, I've broken into my own house the same way at least two times, maybe three! And, Brian could go up the garage attic stairs and crawl through from there to the unfinished upstairs, come down the steps and open the doors from the inside! That issue was also settled today as I installed two walls in that atticto keep that from happening again! Brian inspected it tonight and could not get through. Bottom line, everybody gets their own door key!
