I was actually amazed recently that in a group of 10 women I was the only person to not only have jumper cables in my trunk but that I was the only person who also knew how to use them. WTF.....this is 2009 and not 1942 or am I mistaken? Someone in my building needed a boost and apparently I was the go to gal, which is fine but I honestly thought everyone had such items in their car for emergencies.



Perhaps it was because I had a battery die one too many times or I like to be prepared. I even have a membership to one of those auto clubs so in reality I could just sit pretty in my car and wait for someone to come and give me a boost. Come on now, who wants to sit around for an hour for the person to show up, I'd rather just do it myself.


Other important items that I always keep in the car:



*extra windshield washer fluid



*a small shovel (best birthday present EVER) in case I get stuck in the snow again.....


*Emergency kit (flashlight, blanket, signs etc)



*lint brush & floss



I'm no mechanic and wouldn't be able to change a tire or anything like that but a simple boost.....come on now ladies!!! It's not rocket science!! Speaking of which maybe I SHOULD learn to change a tire. It can't be that hard!
