Load 'em Up!

Lady: "Ummmm, Hi! You really don't want to witness me trying to back that trailer down. Will you please help me?"

Man: (gives totally weird look)

Lady: "I have $2 that I will give you..... I swear I will end up wrecking and it won't be pretty!"

Man: (smiling a little smirk)

Lady: (peering into the backseat of his truck) "Your kids are really cute.... ummm will you pleeease help me?!" (pleading eyes, look of desperation)

Man: "Ok, ok I will back you down. But can you pull it back up?"

Lady: "Yep! Thanks so much!!!"

Yeah, that was me on Saturday!

I have a very strong fear/aversion to backing up any sort of trailer-ish type of thing.

We went boating on Saturday and Jason, who was there to help launch the boat, totally ditched out and left me hanging. I completely suck at backing things up.

I am going to blame it on the fact that my high school did not do a Harvest Ball my senior year, so I was unable to master such skills. (if you have no idea what Harvest Ball is, then ask someone from Wayne County) So thanks alot, Mr. Elmer and FFA. Really, could have used your help!

So I was in charge of backing the Blazer down the boat ramp to load the boat. I really wanted to cry. I do not do so well under pressure. I was in line waiting and there were about 8 vehicles lines up behind me. That is the equivalent of about a million people watching! Plus, they were loading triple wide on the ramp.

Yeah, right! Like I can back down between 2 very nice trucks AND boats and no one/nothing gets injured. I know better than that!

I had to figure something out, so I text Jared, who was on the boat, to let him know I was going to bribe someone, anyone, to help me.

So I did what any chick in a swimming suit, with way hot boating hair would do.

I put on my best smile, perked up the cleavage, got out of my car and walked back to the unsuspecting fool behind me.

Apparently, it worked! Because I did not back the trailer in -- Mark, the big Samoan in the big blue Dodge did!

I guess I still gotta a little bit of 'damsel-in-distress' vibe that I can put off........

........or I just looked really pathetic and he didn't want to see the disaster that was about to ensue.
