Things I Learned Being Locked Out of My House

1. Being locked out when you can't get to your spare keys kind of sucks.
2. I do not have a future as a burglar. I was completely unsuccessful in breaking into my own house. 
3. The bright side of this? The doors and windows I spent so much money on have REALLY good locks on them.
4. No one around in my neighborhood questions a person in all black standing on trashcans and sticking rods into windows of houses. I'm kind of hoping this is more related to my neighbors knowing that it was me, rather than apathy.
5. I am really lucky to have such good friends who are willing to help me out, even in my dumbest moments.

Never fear gentle reader, I was able to get back into the house without resorting to a crowbar, brick or battering ram.

Til next time! -Erika
