Dude, Where's My.....TRASH CAN?!?

Yes, you read that right.  My trash can.  So in these parts, garbage day is on Tuesday.  And I usually bring my can back up the driveway Tuesday evening.  Well, after all the snow we had, I didn't feel like schlepping the can back up on Tuesday.  Apparently I should have.  I went out to get it today and it was GONE!  So now I have four plastic bags of dirty diapers hanging out in my garage because I'm not sure what to do?!?  Who takes a trash can?  I mean, if it happened by accident, wouldn't they know they had TWO cans in their garage?  Hmmm.....

Well, I've had a bit of a bad week (to put it mildly).  I've been stuck in the house since Sunday (which is, apparently, enough to make me go crazy).  I don't own a shovel and haven't been able to get out.  Billy is of course....gone.  Blake is gone.  And Lola and Luca are collaborating on how to make me go insane!  Mission has been accomplished.  The garbage can?  That was the last straw.  You know.....the straw that broke the camel's my back!  That's pretty much all it took to push me over the edge.  I realized that as I sat on my couch crying because I no longer had a trash receptacle.

So what did I do?  I decided to break free!  I went to run a few errands.  And when I went out to the car, I saw something that made me happy!  I applied this decal on Sunday but as you know, I haven't left the house since.  I kinda forgot I had it.  And even though it made me think of the U of L loss last night (BOOOOO), it still made me smile!

And besides it being totally cool, it made me laugh because it SOOOO isn't even my family!  I mean yeah, there is a character for Billy, Blake, Lola, Luca, and I.  But there is also a random baby and a cat.  No, I'm not pregnant.  And no, I'm not getting a cat.  Other irony?  I've always laughed at the thought of putting a stick people family on my car.  Until I found this one.  You know me.....if it has to do with the Louisville Cardinals, I want it! :)

I got myself out of my funk today (for the moment).  But I'm still minus one big blue trash can.  So whoever you are (and I'm pretty sure you're not reading this....), bring it back!
