so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city.
anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky.
then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um...okay. so then we go to eat and then i talk to the kind lady for a while. she is from indiana. now we are friends. the odor eater worked for about an hour, but hey - it did work and a promise to switch us in the morning.
so..dirty dancing is on tv. that rocks. i love that closing scene and even though i had gotten out of bed at 5 am i managed to watch the whole thing.
are you bored with my stories yet? i'm not...
then this morning i got to do something i had wanted to do for about 14 years and has a long story attached to it for a later post.....
then we needed dinner tonight. undecided between the new pizza place or 5 guys i suggested we ask the people sitting at starbucks. so izzie b walked right over to ask them. they told us the pizza place was offering 10% off, but it had a weird smell. so we ate dinner at 5 guys. okay, but i'm not exactly sure what all the craze is about. then we had starbucks because that is one of the major food groups you know.
then we went to krogers to pick up breakfast for tomorrow. so izziey b wants fruit, but doesn't seem pleased with what she sees. i see the naked juices and we pick up a few and start to wander the most amazing krogers i have ever seen. i mean this placed rocked. they had a bulk food aisle. i love bulk food, i never am anywhere that sells it, but i love the concept. izzie b stops and exclaims, "are those sky balls?" umm..sky balls? what are sky balls? i see she is looking at these little candy balls wrapped like the globe. sure izzie b, those are sky balls! she grabs one?
ONE?? she really grabs just one. i comment that seems odd. she says they'll probably give it to her for free. she wanted to buy it for her niece. so we hit the checkout and she hands over the sky ball to the kind kid working the register. he puts it on the scale, punches in some numbers, looks at the kid next to him, punches more numbers, seems perplexed. first it weighed too much, then it didn't weigh enough. then i thought they were going to call the manager over. finally they suggested we go back and get 5, but izzie b. doesn't want 5, just 1. so we leave with only our naked juices. izzie b comments most people would have just stolen that. and that is what sets izzie b apart from most people.
and we have 2 days still to go.......
