Too funny not to share :)

This may be the funniest situation I've been a part of in quite some time...

Here is how my Sunday started:

After putting a load of towels in the wash, I walked back into my bedroom

to see that I had missed a call from one of my dear friends, Katie.

I listened to her voicemail which was rushed and simply stated,

"Hey it's Katie!  Call me when you get this!"

I immediately called her back.  She said she was at the farmer's market next to

my place and saw a fireplace mantle on the side of the road...YES THATS RIGHT.

A FIREPLACE MANTLE - ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!

I threw some clothes on headed to the farmers market and we sped off

to the site of the unclaimed mantle - which was located in the garbage

at a storage facility!  The garbage I tell you!  I know, shocking!!

We hopped out of the car and began to assess the situation...how were

we going to fit the mantle in Katie's car...in her small car...her jetta.

During the process of figuring out how in the heck this huge mantle

was going to fit in the car, we found ourselves laughing so hard we

were nearly in tears!  Katie managed to catch an action shot of me...

This photo was right before I found myself saying,

"Oh! I think it's going to fit!  Maybe if I just move it this way..."

And then I got stuck between the mantle and the car door and I had

to climb out shimmy myself out from underneath the mantle!

Let me just tell you, laughter ensued!

I'm sure the cars passing were thinking "What the heck?"

Although I know you would be thinking "Those lucky girls!!"

After about 25 minutes of running back and forth between the side

of the car and the trunk we FINALLY figured it out...

Yep, that's the mantle hanging out the window!

But at least we got the trunk shut, haha!

If only Katie had gotten a shot of me on the way back...

my knees were practically in the dashboard, ha!!

So, you want to see a full shot of the beauty?

Thank you Katie for an exciting and hilarious start to my Sunday!!!

I hope this story started off everyones Monday with a smile! :)
