i'd planned to get up at 9 to get some stuff done before mom picked me up. of course, because of this, i slept til 9:30 & got nothing done except i think i finished an episode of something but i can't remember what right now. mom got here at 10:40 & away we went. oh, stopped at the mailbox to get my People, except there was no magazine! d'oh! i did have these, tho...
the bottom one is from finland.
we stopped at sonic & i finally got a cherry limeade. yay!!! then we were on the road. it was a nice trip, we listened to glee & yanni & chatted & i took some pictures. i'll do a picture post tomorrow, tooooo tired to upload & whatnot tonight! i'm heading to bed here in a few short minutes!
we arrived in atlantic about 2:30 & mom wanted a sit-down meal. i'd been begging for a cheeseburger since about 1, but she had these ideas... and hey, who am i to discourage her? she is doing me a solid by bringing me to my car, so ... : ) we went into a tiny hy vee to use the facilities, and then were gonna eat at the chinese restaurant next door. except they close from 2:30 - 4:30 every day. huh?? LOL mom was okay w/ maid rite, but they apparently had been closed for awhile - there was cardboard in the drive thru menu. yet their sign is still up. idk what's wrong w/ that picture at all... LOL finally, we found a mexican restaurant & i'm glad we did. DELICIOUS food! rivalled sancho's, and that's saying something! : )
we found pat's house & i signed some papers & wrote out a check for the deductible & was on my way to omaha. chloe looks GREAT! they did an awesome job. and i had the a/c on almost all day & there weren't any problems (that was something i'd been warned to check on, because apparently it's a common issue to have a/c problems after a front end collison!). PTL! i'm still going to take her to the dealership this week to have them do a once-over, but she drove great & everything seemed happy to me!
i got to omaha about 5:30 & met joy, her mom, the kids, and bobby & his son at runza. ahhhh, runza! we had dinner & hung out for an hour & then i was on the road home. praying the whole way, tense the whole way, waiting for something to spring out & get me! :( that was kinda rough. and then as it got dark, i needed more rest stops to move around because i was kinda zoning. as soon as i feel myself zoning, i find a rest stop & get out & move around a big, because that is SCARY i tell you what!!!
i don't have any voice $$ left on my phone, so i texted marty to let her know she didn't need to pick me up in the morning. hopefully she got it!! i also texted dave & i'm going in at 9:30 tomorrow.
i am sooooo happy to be home, and now, to zzzzzzzzz! : )
ttfn!
O happy day!
ReplyDeleteI meant to comment yesterday. It's some sort of a Chinese/Japanese tradition that they are closed in the afternoon. Kinda like a siesta. You know that Exotic Thai does that too.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I forgot about ET doing that! LOL
