Panera is awesome. From the garden vegetable soup, to the hazelnut coffee, to the free wifi.
There, saying that makes me feel better about sitting here for 2+ hours working on a paper and routinely checking my facebook.
Yesterday when I landed back in Kansas City after a wonderful trip to Denver, I was 90% sure that I'd lost my one and only set of car keys. Panic ensued immediately. I did a poor job of looking in my suitcase for them partly because I was not really at all surprised at the idea of losing my car keys. It's something I would do. The 2nd reason I immediately went into breakdown mode probably had a lot to do with 3 hours of sleep and being awake since 4am. That's neither here nor there. Anyhow, after realizing that if my car keys were REALLY gone, the result would be several hundred dollars and a priceless several hours would be involved in the solution, I decided to painstakingly look through my suitcase once more. I started pulling stuff out one at a time. Lo and behold, beneath things I hadn't even UNPACKED in CO, there were my car keys. It's a very mundane story, but the moral of the story is NEVER PROCRASTINATE IN REPLACING YOUR SPARE KEY WHEN YOU LOSE IT. I've got an appointment with my dealer (car, not drug... though maybe I could use one of those) on Saturday to get myself taken care of.
If they weren't so expensive I'd order like 50 of them and pass them out to every friend, family member, and coworker I had. "Hi, I know we're not close, but would you mind holding on to one of my spare car keys? It's necessary." Then I'd just send out a mass text every time I did something stupid like lock my keys in my car or drop them in a quicksand trap. "Hey everyone, can whoever's closest to Indian Creek Trail come let me into my car? I've done it again."
