Today I pulled into my local grocery store parking lot set to buy a week's worth of groceries. Instead, my truck died. Typically this would have sent me over the edge, but instead I found that posting to Twitter and Instagram made it almost bearable. Here is the story as told by the hashtag #waitingtobetowed

A mom in a minivan just waved to me. I wonder if I look friendly or pathetic. #waitingtobetowed

The tow truck has now officially missed its E.T.A. #waitingtobetowed — Jeffrey Pomranka (@pomranka) June 24, 2012
Just called the tow company. Should have been here in an hour. Now 20min late & said another 15-20 min. Sigh. #waitingtobetowed

Since I called for a tow, my wife was able to get here, hang out for 15 min & do a weeks worth of grocery shopping. :-[#waitingtobetowed

It is always a fun time at the Barnes annual Memorial Day party. See all the images in the Barnes Memorial Day Party Gallery.
Photos don't do it justice. Such a fun time. See more photos.
Today was Mia's First Communion. While Mia doesn't often dress up, today she went full out and looked beautiful! She was even gracious enough to let me take a ton of photos.
