Last night Robyn (friend/neighbor) and I headed out to Staten Island to see her Great-Nieces perform in their dance recital. I left work early in anticipation of the deadly trek over the Belt Parkway. Much to our surprise, the Belt Parkway was a dream - it was the Verrazano Bridge and Staten Island Expressway that caused all the grief! Needless to say, we arrived safely at Robyn's sister's house for a lovely dinner before the show.
We were all set to leave when the unthnkable happens - Robyn's car will not start - WTF?!?!?! - She promptly calls her husband - WHO DOES NOT ANSWER HIS PHONE =- WTF?!?!?! - So, off we go to the recital - that is why we traveled to this God-forsaken town in the first place!
The recital was precious!! The girls were just delightful. We had front row seats and we felt like celebrities!!
Back to the car. We call AAA - "It is either the fuel pump or an electrical problem." - Again, WTF??? They are really useless!!!
Just want to say thank you to Mr. Wonderful who drove out to pick us up and bring us safely back to our humble abodes! As for Robyn's car.... well... it has remained on Staten Island waiting for a divine intervention!
