I'd spring for a new battery since it's 3+ years old. I'd recommend either a NAPA or Interstate. Autozone also sells a decent battery.

Thanks stlwagon,

Right now the game plan is My brother in-law is going to lend me a portable battery booster. Then once I'm at work I was planning on throwing a charger on it for about an hour, and seeing if that does the trick. Rumor has it battery's need to be replaced every 5 years. As of right now I'm not really in the mood to drop Battery money on her. Still need to do an oil change get some fresh gas in her, and I just got out of surgery so moneys a little tight right now.

I was thinking if I do have to replace it going with a Optima Red Top Premium Replacement Battery

Or should I just do some preventative maintenance and get a new battery now?
