this weekend

i had a crazy weekend.
mom and i drove 9.5 hrs on friday, 2.5 hrs saturday morning, 2 hrs saturday night and 6 hrs on sunday.
that's a total of [*whips out calculator*] 20 hrs in a car this weekend.
holy crap.
i'm still tired.

it was an awesome [and hilarious weekend].
it was full of mishaps and genius moments.
here they are: [the genius moments that is]

- i'm driving down the high way and there's a black bag in the road [think kitchen garbage bag size]. but i can't swerve for fear of hitting any of the other cars on the 3 lane highway. so i drive into it. its empty. it'll go under my car... right? no. of course not. mom and i are looking and watching behind us. we can't figure out where it went. it didn't come out from behind the car. so i keep driving. all of the sudden i pause the music and say 'hey mom, i found the bag' - there was a wonderful flapping sound coming from outside my door. so we pull over like the smart women that we are. we head around to the drivers side of the car and the bag had gotten caught all in the tire on the front of the car. now... the rotors are hot on the car right? and plastic melts on contact with something hot... right? so mom and i are pulling the bag off of the tire when a man walks up to us. ends up that his wife was driving and volun-told him to help us [she thought our tire was flat]. we thanked them umpteen times and sent them on their way. we finished with the bag and headed bag into the car. my poor mother had to sit for 20 minutes in the car without touching anything with her hands because she had gotten brake dust all over them. it was quite funny though.

- so friday night when we get to josh's parents' house, we decided to head down to the beach. our moms were already down there so we chatted with them and walked along the beach. we got up by the break wall and found two toads. so of course [being the children we are] we picked up one of them and brought to show our moms. the damned thing thought it would be good to pee on me. so i threw it on the sand and wiped off my hands in the water. and then told josh to pick it up. of course it doesn't pee on him at all. [jerk] once we're back with our moms, we set down the toad and it starts hopping away. so i picked it up again [figuring a little toad only has a small amount of pee in it]. once i got back next to our moms... it peed on me again. so my natural reaction [again] is to throw the stupid toad on the ground. which involved me throwing toad pee all over josh's mom. thank god that woman already loves me.

- saturday [fortunately] was free of 'genius moments'

- sunday on the way home we only had one. my mom hit a bird. it kamakazied into the windshield. mom and i gasped and then just sat there until we both burst out laughing. [small backstory... my mom hit a bird on mother's day. sunday... was father's day. i'm sensing a trend]

so ends my 'genius moments' for the weekend.



i'd like to just say that i love old couples.
they make me smile.
