a "can do" attitude without a lot of forethought

I'm afraid I have to plead guilty. I contributed today to the Stupid Women Drivers fund, and someone we know and love just won the award. In my defense, I was rather proud of myself driving a Jeep with a U-Haul trailer attached. I parked it in a regular parking place and pinned myself in so that there was no negotiating that thing out of there.
Honestly, I never intended on having to put it in reverse. Really, nobody ever told me I needed to know this basic life skill. So, here I sit...waiting on a rescue.

Frankly, this ranks right up there with closing myself on the
wrong side of the ranch gate! Once again, I am reminded...you can take the girl out of the city, but you can't take the city (or the stupid) out of this girl. My mother used to call it common horse sense. I guess I was standing behind the door when God passed out that trait.

I'm considering writing a bad country song while I wait for Mike to get across town in Houston traffic so I can return this sweet little appendage to my 9 mpg towing Jeep. Hmmmmm....

"Stranded in the Parking Lot with a U-Haul By My Side"

Just sittin' in my pickup
with my U-Haul by my side
Lookin' in the rearview
Wonderin' when
my knight in shining armor will come
and save the day (again).
Repeat.

Oh, thank goodness. Here he is. Another five minutes, and we'd be editing these lyrics to be PG-13.
