So we got in the car and couldn't turn the ignition, the wheel wouldn't move at all, and the shifter wasn't budging. I called Geico on a pay phone to set up a tow and when I got back to the car, my mother-in-law called on Emily's phone (who had shown up with Odin at our request) to say her husband recommended attacking the steering wheel, which I did, and that got everything unstuck. What made all this really annoying was that neither of us had our phones so we had to keep taking turns staying with the car and going inside the music building to send texts via email so the car wouldn't get ticketed because we were stuck at an un-paid meter with no pocket change. We did get it working eventually though.
We ended up taking Odin to our favorite restaraunt in town, which we realized we had taken him to on his last birthday as well. We all ate a lot of food and then we took Odin to Yes Man with Jim Carrey (being his favorite person in the world right now) but he only wanted to sit through about half of it and we had to leave.
I'm excited about the party today. We're going to Papa's Pizza again. Same as last year, but he had so much fun anyway, and now he's big enough for all the tubes and stuff in the play area. We got a Chocolate Fudge cake with Peanut Butter Mousse and Chocolate Ganache frosting. I know a lot of the presents he's getting already and it promisses to be a good haul.
