When doors attack!!

Hey All -

I was traveling all last week for work - and this past weekend was my Goddaughters baptism - so I didn't have a lot of time to sit down at a computer and update a blog. I am sorry for my steady blog followers for letting you down :P

On a side note - talking about steady blog followers - I can see how many times my blog has been viewed (I can't see who is viewing it, but I can see overall views and which blogs get more hits) I am utterly SHOCKED - I haven't check it in awhile but the last time I checked it - I had almost 3000 VIEWS - Holy Crazy!! I feel Loved!

Anyway! I do have a pretty humorous story about getting stuck between doors at Enterprise - but first ...

I guess I kind of lied about "not having enough time to blog" when I have enough time to correct all the channels in the AmericInn Channel Guide.

I really feel like the next person who is lucky enough to get this room will thank me!

 

Also when I stay in hotels - I normally ask for two queen beds instead of one king - so I can do this with all of the pillows :)

 Just my little cocoon!

 

 Also it was my Goddaughter (Kinsey's) Baptism this past weekend - she is beyond adorable :)

I know what you are thinking: "Well geesh Sarah - you are pretty adorable yourself!" ;)

Alright All - on to the main event...

First you have to know that at BSU we rent our cars through Enterprise (we'll pick you up) that is located in the Bemidji Airport. Their hours are until 5PM I believe - but the Airport itself is open until 10 or 11 PM.

During our main travel time - there have been nights where I get back and Enterprise is closed. Being the Airport is still open - I could walk in (through two sets of sliding doors) to return the keys in the little box they have on their desk. If we get back late (or after hours) we are supposed to just leave the car parked in the lot and drop off the keys.

This past Thursday night - I didn't get back to Bemidji until really late - and by the time I got unloaded and ready to return the car it was 2 AM. I do all the changing around - leave their rental in the lot  - hop into my car and drive up to the door so I can return the keys.

I get out of my car and walk up to the first set of door and they don't automatically open? I was puzzled - but remembered a couple months ago when I was there that door was broke and wasn't opening and closing right - so I figured they just shut it off and you had to manually open it. So I manually opened the first set of sliding door and get to the next set.

At this time it has become obvious that the Airport is closed - and there is no way I am getting in - I turn around to leave and notice the first set of doors have closed - and I was unable to pry them open from the inside as easily as I could to get in.

Many thoughts were crossing my mind at this time:

• I was super tired - I could just curl up in a ball and sleep here until they open in the morning.
• I could call the cops and try to explain myself to them.
• I wonder where the security camera is - and didn't know if I should wave or write out what happened on one of the news papers in my "self made cell" and hold it up to the camera so they knew when watching it - I wasn't trying to break in - I was just an idiot!

I was able to get the door pried open - and figured I would just go back in the morning and return the keys when Enterprise was open.

I get there Friday morning - and one of the workers goes: "I was looking for those keys" - Me: "Yeah I couldn't get in last night to drop them in the drop box." Enterprise Employee: "You know about the outside drop box don't you?"

I know about the outside drop box now - and really really really hope there is no reason for Airport Security to watch that severance camera!
