Keys??? Who needs them?

As of late, I think Stephen would agree that I've been pretty absent-minded about loosing my keys. I look back now and just have to laugh, but at the time I have to admit I was pretty stressed and had to do some thinking to figure out how to break in. If this had only happened once I wouldn't think much of it, but the fact that it happened twice in less then a week caused me reason to ponder.
The 1st time: With school being crazy the past few weeks, I needed to run in on a Saturday(Mistake #1) to get a few things done. I had only been there an hour and just needed to make a few copies before heading home. I grabbed some things and went to the workroom which was locked. (Mistake #2) When I came back, my classroom door had shut locked with all of my things inside, keys, phone, purse, everything. I didn't know what to do and was the only one there. Steve had left his phone charger in Las Vegas, where he was working, and his phone was dead. Without having my cell phone, I didn't know anyone's phone number. I went through the school and found an classroom that had been left open and got on the teacher's computer and emailed him and then used the phone to call my parents. They helped me by calling my uncle who lives about 10 minutes away to get ahold of Stephen. After being stranded for 2 hours out of my classroom. Stephen came to the rescue and picked me up.
The 2nd time: This last weekend I planned to fly down to Las Vegas where Stephen's been working to spend the weekend with him. He decided to pull off the car key and leave it home since he wouldn't be needing it. Without thinking, I grabbed his set (without a house key) and walked right out and locked the door. As soon as the door shut I new what I had done. I headed into work. That afternoon, I got off work early so I could break in and get to the airport on time. I was lucky to find an old ladder our manager had behind the shed and uncovered it from the foot of snow. I climbed in our 2nd story bedroom window which was thankfully unlocked. I'm glad it was the middle of the day and most everyone in the complex was gone. I put on quite the show.
