Okay, so nmothing says vacation like not having to wake up early in the morning to be any specific place at any specific time.... Yep, I am so on vacation. This morning mt alarm went off at 7:30 (forgot to turn it off b4 bed) and i immediately thought, "Oh no, not happening!" as I turned over, hit snooze, and curled back up in the covers. Then, what felt like a couple minutes had turned into a few hours. My eyes popped open, and I immediately felt confused, I looked at my watch to see the hands telling me I had slept til freaking 10:55. WHAT, seriously, who sleeps that late who isn't one of a few things.... 1. Lazy 2. Hungover 3. Teenaged I sat up in bed, and like every morning, immediately reached for my BlackBerry. Yep, red light flashing! I read my first e-mail which is timed to me at 9:40am I read a lunch and errand running invite, and instantly think, "Hmmm, if this is from over two hours ago, yep, good chance this has all already happened." Keep in mind this invite is from a mother of two, who in the last almost three years hasn't slept a full night, and in the past 4 weeks hasn't slept for more than 45 minute intervals. She is the proud mama of a boy who requires no sleep, and a newborn who has a strong need for her mommas breast about every two hours. So, you can imagine, it's a bit hard to tell this sleep deprived soul that you just slept til 11 in the morning. I choose to go ahead and admit to her that I have just woke up, and would love to go with her if the offer still is open. She lets me know we will be leaving in about 45 minutes, and kindly also types in her responce, "Loser. You suck."
I rush to get ready, cut my ankle bone shaving, bleed profusely, get shampoo in my right eye, (still bleeding), realize I don't have hair on my ankle bone to have needed shaving..... still bleeding. Get dressed, all the while trying to not bleed everywhere, putting little bits of toilet paper on my ankle like a man would who nicks his nostril shaving. Get across the street to the invitees house, where upon entering Chase immediately zeros in on my bloody, tp covered ankle, and aaks me, like only a 2yo can, "Jew git bit Lyionn?" (Loosely translated to "Did you get bit Lynn?") To which I respond, "No buddy, Lynn cut herself shaving." 2yo rebutal "Jew shouldnd do zat Lyionn." Who knew, all the answers I had been looking for, they are all right there with my 2yo neighbor boy... You shouldn't do that Lynn! Well duh!
Lunch time at McAlisters....
As always, so super good! The McAlisters here only opened a week ago, and I am happy to report I ALREADY have an entire "Tea Club" card punched, so on my next visit the tea's on them! Look down while eating and realize I still am sporting the bloody tp on my ankle, nice!!
Walmart
I don't really NEED anything, but as we all know, it is Walmart, so you will leave buying something. My purchases, a bag of shredded mild cheddar and a bag of Skittles. Hello, can I be anymore random???
So, this is a rundown of day one of vaca. Look for more fun stuff tomorrow.... hopefully with a LOT less blood!
