Christmas Party Weekend

Last night was John's Taliant Christmas Party. It was very fun! Much better than last year because I actually know some of the people John works with, so I didn't feel completely overwhelmed. Of course, my favorite thing all evening was the chocolate fountain....mmmmmm, yum.

Afterwards, we went to pick-up our car from the valet, and the guy couldn't get into the car. We followed him to where are car was and John's key fob no longer worked. Aughhhh! John's key only starts the car it doesn't get into the car, because he had the starter replaced a couple of years ago. John thought he could throw away the keys that actually get into the car, because he thought the new key to start the car would also work to get into the car. Yeah, he should have checked to see if the new key worked before he threw out the old keys. That's my Boo Boo!;-)

Anyway, long story short, we ended up taking the light rail to the Mineral station, and my mom picked us up. We didn't have our house key with us and thankfully my parents have a spare key. Errgggg....what an evening!

Today, we had to go to the VW dealership to see if they can make a new key fob. Well, they can't unless they have both keys. The guy we were talking to seemed a little overwhelmed (probably still new to the job), but another guy had a name of a locksmith that could help us. Thankfully the stars were aligned for us this morning, because the locksmith was close by to the hotel when John called him. The locksmith met us at the hotel, and he made a new key. All for under a hundred dollars. The locksmith had a cute miniature pincher in his van named Rosco. Very cute! Took some ease off the annoying situation that was quickly fixed. John and I were on our way thanking our lucky stars!

Tomorrow night is my job's Christmas party. We are having it at the Traildust Steakhouse, so that will be nice. Hopefully, John and I will have a little less drama at my Christmas party. :)
