R.I.P. Car Battery

I'd been looking forward to this past Friday for weeks after learning that Keith and I would be attending an Oscar gifting suite (!). As the time got closer, I should have expected something to go wrong. I kind of thought it'd just be the neverending rain, but I was wrong. It was my car battery, which decided to die an hour before we were scheduled to leave. Of course it did. Why wouldn't it?
Thankfully, I've got great friends, and with a few helpful bodies we were able to get a ride to the auto store and some tools and extra hands to change the battery. Mission accomplished! We were only slightly late to the event, but it could have been so much worse. Considering it was my original car battery from 11 years ago and I have over 265,000 miles on my car, I think it did pretty well!
