I have to tell you about my car ride home from the bash. It was to say the least, eventful! We were all over tired, and all had the giggles. I nearly pissed myself laughing on many occasions. There were 4 of us, another Charm, her hubby, my hubby and myself!
So here we are, driving along, when we come past this little farm, in the boonies, and as we are all oohing and awing over the animals they have, lama's, donkey's, horses and others, we follow the turn in the road, and this farmer has a whole bunch of dead, skinned animals hung up on this type of clothes line. I had to look twice, I thought maybe I was hallucinating... but no I wasn't. But whatever I'm not naive I know people do that... I just haven't seen it so close to the side of a road before. The poor other Charm I was with started to cry. It was sad.
Well we continue along our merry way, and all of a sudden we see flashing lights ahead. A bunch of cops are standing around looking at this jumper. Yes I repeat... a jumper. Some guy threw himself off an overpass and onto the highway. I felt like I was in the movie Wrong Turn, thinking what else is going to happen?!
Well after we get over the devastation of seeing this dead guy on the ground, we need to go through a toll. Well aren't they doing construction, and the pylons are lined up right to the entrance, so we exit. Thinking that's where the pylons are leading us. Well we were wrong. We had to pay the toll twice just to do a U-turn! My hubby was in a rage, he started throwing things out of the car! Oh and when we did the u-turn at the second toll, he was cursing at the woman about the Governor of NY. We were all dying of laughter... I guess you just had to be there!
Then the Charm I was with, she's allergic to lots of stuff. So she had something, that made her sick. At this point, she is driving the car, and we are all sleeping. We awaken to squealing tires and seeing a bright light! OMG we're headed towards a bright light... my life is flashing before my eyes! As we are all thrown to the left of the car as she makes this mad stop, I hear as if from God a deep voice that says "fuck, the Deny's is closed!"
Then oh yes and there is a "then"... we were running low on gas, but we wanted to wait till we found a gas/rest area to stop. Well... let me tell you, that combo never came up! So now we find ourselves, with 1mile of gas left, driving through yet another dinky town looking for gas. We passed three gas stations, do you think any of them were opened? NO!!! Apperently small towns off the highway shut down at 10pm sharp. I was pissed and told hubby that he should have filled up before... why does he always wait. He never looks nervous, but at this point he did... and I told him so and he said how could I not be, and I said because it won't be my ass walking out there looking for gas that's for sure!
Finally we stop and ask someone, they tell us to head back, all the way from where we just exited. Now we are driving on ZERO miles, for about 15 miles. Finally we come to the gas station the guy told us about, just barely making it... chugging along s l o w l y, to the pump!
So needless to say my trip home was anything but uneventful! And let me tell you, so help me God if I have to hear "recalculating route" one more time...!
