Things took an unpleasant turn when we tried to leave the city and our car wouldn't start. Turns out I had a dead battery and it was totally my fault because I had forgotten some basic car mechanics or as Drew said, I was "acting dumb." He was pretty willing to walk to the van (many blocks in the biting cold) for moral support, but when I told him the circumstances of the dead battery he became increasingly upset (Liz was watching a movie on a portable DVD player and I decided to turn on the car to save the battery but I only turned on the battery thereby making it worse).Anyway, I joined AAA. They came (an hour later than they said they would). They jumped us and tomorrow I plan to buy my very own set of jumper cables.

If you go to AutoZone, they sell a jump starter that you can keep in your van; all you have to do is charge it first. Then, you don't have to worry about whether someone else is around to jump you; you can just take care of it & be on your way. This was a LIFESAVER for us in my old car, before we discovered a couple of problems that were constantly draining the battery!
