Dumpster Diving!
When was the last time you found yourself, your entire self, in a big blue recycle bin? I was cleaning out my dad's old car tonight (as we are driving it to Cali tomorrow) and threw away a wad of trash. I went to move the car & realized I didn't have the key in my hand anymore. Hmmm. Where could it be. I had no pockets & there was only one option -- the recycle bin where I had thrown the trash!!! ARG! So I get a flashlight & a step stool. I open the lid, shine the light hoping it might be right on top (but really I know it isn't because I dropped the trash in a little crevice!) -- no such luck. Take out box one, peer down again. Ooo! I can see it. Make a reach, trying to be dainty so my hand doesn't touch too much (mind you my mid-section is completely bent over the thing) & instead of grabbing the key, I knock the key down further! Dang. Double dang. 3 garbage bags & 2 boxes later I see the key, but can't reach it. My only option is to climb in (or go get help, but help is for sissies). In I go, bend down, which is quite difficult as there isn't much room for your knees & again I am being dainty about grabbing the key! As if my whole body isn't being contaminated while I "daintily" grab the key. So out the window went my manners & I grabbed the key regardless of what my hand may of come in contact with! Luckily, I was already grubby & needing a shower. I'm all clean now.

Okay, you are hilarious! I love the quote "help is for sissies." Did you know Dallin's nickname is "Double D"? He's always in the trash, so Anth started calling him Dumpster Diver! Hope your trip to Cali is fun....
now that must have been a sight! i love the several "dainty" attempts.
I so wish someone would have been resording you through the window... would have loved to see it!
