What else can happen?

Monday
.
I drove to work today because FattyHubby had an appointment after work and couldn't send me home first. But it's okay, I can still drive. After all, my tummy still hasn't touched the steering yet and my car is ONLY a manual....not that hard to drive.
.
So, I nicely steered into the office basement and found the perfect spot near the elevators and did my best to reverse in without the guide from my reverse sensors. Did I not mention that my dumb dog bit off the wires from my reverse sensors and left two gapping holes where the sensors used to be, with 2 wires hanging gaily at the back of my car? No? Well, that's what she did and now, I'm driving around with two gapping holes and wires sticking out from the butt of my otherwise, beautiful, sleek black car.
.
Am still waiting for FattyHubby to get it done for me....
.
Anyways, so I successfully parked and got out of the car, with a bit of trouble as the car next to me was parked a little out of his line. But I managed to get out.
.
And then I saw how near my car and the other car was. Mind you, mine was parked right in the centre of the box. His was a little over to my side. And there was only about 2 inches space between our side mirrors.
.
But instead of doing the smart thing by getting back into my car and parking it somewhere else, I decided that I could get pass the 2 inches space by SUCKING IT IN.
.
Grabbing my bag tighter, I ambitiously walked between the mirrors...
.
AND GOT STUCK!!!!!
.
I totally forgot that not only were the mirrors the same height as my stomach, I also conveniently forgot that I was 7 months pregnants and no matter how much I tried sucking it in, there wasn't much that got sucked in.
.
So there I was, stuck.
Couldn't move left, couldn't move right.
I huffed and puffed and tried to suck in as much as I could. But I was still stuck.
.
Stupid femme. Stupid femme. Stupid femme.
.
A woman walked pass and looked at me and I flashed her the biggest smile I could. Don't worry about me, I'm just stuck but I'm loving it.
.
She disappeared into the building and I stopped grinning like an idiot. An idiot that was stuck between 2 side mirrors of 2 different cars.
.
I tried folding back my side mirror but it wouldn't budge.
In the end, I bent my knees and squatted down slightly so that both mirrors went up pass my belly and to my chest and I managed to squat walk sideways out.
.
I should have thought of that earlier.
.

Tuesday
.
Getting stuck between 2 side mirrors and hurting my tummy a little was not enough drama for me, you know.
.
Today, I decided to totter into the office wearing heels.
Why?
Because I'm not driving mah. FattyHubby driving me mah. So I can wear heels lorr.
.
And then, halfway through the day, I decided that I want to go to Digital Mall after work to get my speakers and totally forgot about the fact that I was on heels and shouldn't be walking around too much.
.
So after work, we went to Digital Mall and of course, FattyHubby insisted on dropping me off at the entrance first while he went to look for parking.
.
But hero here decided to follow her hubby and didn't want to go into the mall alone first. After going around like 5 times, we finally found parking in front of Pizza Hut.
.
And I tottered clumsily over the unbalanced tar road.
.
The whole time, FattyHubby kept asking me if my feet were ok and I kept insisting they were even though they were hurting like hell. Just to avoid getting nagged at for wearing heels.
.
By the time we got home, my feet were hurting so bad, I could only limp into the room, fall into bed and massage my feet.
.
So much for wearing heels because I wasn't driving.
.
Later after dinner, when my feet were feeling much better (that's cos FattyHubby found out the truth cos he barged into the room while I was massaging my feet and even though I hid my feet under the blankets like superquick, he caught me, and gave me an hour long nag but also an hour long feet massage), I excitedly skipped up the stairs and dragged my new speakers into the room to test them.
.
I got everything in place, plugged the red wire into the red socket, the white wire into the white sockets and then took the sound jack and plugged it into my MP3 player.
.
No sound.
.
Eh, cannot be mah.
I checked everything, made sure I had everything plugged in and that the switch was on, and all looked fine to me. So I tried again.
.
Still no sound.
.
I pulled out the sound jack and checked it against my earphones jack. Both same size, same length, so shouldn't be a problem kan.
.
But why still no sound?
.
So I tried it on my laptop and the sound came out perfectly well.
So why does it not work with my MP3?
.
I called for FattyHubby to help me.
He took one look at my MP3 and gave me THE look.
.
Did you turn on the volume on your MP3?
.
I looked at the MP3. The volume level was off.
.
DAMN!
