So, this past weekend, Hubby and I went to California to visit his family for his Grandmother’s birthday. I must admit, I was a little remiss to make a turn-around trip ( mostly because I HATE road trips, I am just not a good traveler and we were up there for one one whole day and half the next morning), but I am glad we went. We had a great time with the family despite some minor obstacles.
We drove up late Saturday night and arrived basically in time to go to bed. Hubby was hoping a night without the pets and a NOISY sister would allow for a good night’s sleep. (AWWW, isn’t he sweet?) However, he couldn’t have been MORE wrong on that one. His dad, in the next room, was snoring SO LOUD that I thought he might wake up the entire hotel. And I don’t mean light snoring, I mean shaking our room so the walls shake and there might be an earthquake snoring. I mean just imagine that the snoring is SO.VERY.LOUD that even a pillow over your head won’t block out the noise! Yea, it was bad and since I could barely sleep, I decided to wake Hubby up too.
What? He shouldn’t be sleeping, if I’m not!
Me: PSSSST Hubby!
Hubby: Huh….Wha?
Me: HOW does your Mom sleep through THAT snoring?
Hubby(falling back asleep): Ugh. I have no idea
Me: PSSSST Hubby…I can’t sleep. PSST. PSST PSST…..
fastforward next morning
Dad: How’d you guys sleep?
Us: NOT AT ALL! YOU SNORE!
Dad: No I don’t. I wear breath right strips.
Us: They don’t work!
So then we all decide to go to breakfast. The hotel we were staying at had a waffle maker where you could make your own waffles! I was SUPER excited. I.LOVE.FOOD. And am particulary fond of breakfast food. However here’s what happened:
There I am minding my own business, making waffles when I am approached by a crazy-haired waffle nazi lady (WNL) with a psycho look in her eye.
WNL: Whose waffle is in there?
Me: Mine.
WNL: Well, did you set the timer? I mean geez.
Me: No, I don’t need timers, I can magically sense when it is done. I am just THAT good. (under my breath so she didn’t hear me): psycho I am going to throw my waffle in your face
WNL: I mean geezus there are A LOT of people here wanting waffles. You can’t hog the waffle machine!
She was terrible people, she was just crazy and very obnoxious about the waffle machine. Who knew that waffles would bring out the worst in people?
How do these crazies ALWAYS find me…even on vacation?
