My Weekend.....Long Blog Part deux

I'm sick today. I think Tom gave me the flu. I typed this up at various points of my day yesterday and my head hurts so I haven't proofed it. Ignore my mistakes please!!

(From here on DH will be referred to as Tom in my blogs)
Saturday.....Knitting, Cupcakes, and Dumbass me!
Saturday morning I awoke to my Bro-In-Law texting me that his daughter Anna's Birthday party was at 1:30 at an AWESOME park! Tom was still sick with the flu and we chatted a bit. I told him that if he tries to push himself too much, he'll just keep the flu. So he stayed home from work again. It sucks too because his money nights are Friday & Saturday. Those nights are bread and butter nights(and his escape nights.)
Anyways, I go get a gift and book it to the Party. Sym had crashed at my mom's place and Mom said she'd bring her to the party.
I get to the park and low and behold, I find my baby sis Nat Knitting at the party table...

OOOO I was sooo excited!!! That I broke out my knitting too!!!


So we knitted while everyone else played and waited on Sym (I love my Mom but she was born late). Sym got there and we commensed with the pizza eatin, happy birthday singin and present openin. Lots of fun!! Then all the kids and grownups played too!! Here's Sym & I Swangin!

Fun huh? We had a ball! Here's Anna & Sym too. They almost look like sisters! Wild huh? Anna is Nat's Step Daughter (if you haven't figured it out yet, Yeah Nat was the one that got married in Feb). I find if funny though, I think Anna & Nat favor each other a little even though there is no DNA matches there.
Anyways, Anna LOVED her gifts, party, playing and eating. I unfortunately had to leave to bring pizzas to good homes (only the ones that tip!!) :-)

It was a mildly busy night at Pizza H that night. Lots of complaints and re-runs though to people trying to scam the store. I hate those! If you are going to scam a pizza place at least tip every driver that is trying to fix the problem, you know? On my last run which was a triple bagger (3 deliveries in one trip)I realized that anything can happen when you don't pay much attention. I took the first 2 that were REALLY close to the store then the last one was about 10 miles away from the store on the outskirts of the delivery area. I get there finally, 20 minutes late, get the customer $4 off, (still got a freakin awesome tip!) then I got to my car. I tried to crank it and it wouldn't start. I looked at the gas gauge and it was WAY past E with the little light on!! I Ran out of gas!!! I started laughing my ass off. I called the store, told the closer what had happened and he said that it was the perfect end to a crazy ass night and that he was going to send the late driver out there to rescue me. So since I knew it was going to be a while I went back to the front door of the customer's house. This is exactly what I said..
" Hi, I'm embarrassed to say this but I ran out of gas in your driveway. The store is sending someone to bring me gas. I just wanted to let you know so that you don't think 'why is this crazy delivery girl still in my driveway?'"
The guy laughed, mostly because I was.
"He told me that his bro-in-law was going to be home any minute and that he's the only one that may wonder"
Sure enough the broInLaw pulls up looks at me in the car and says "Did they take care of you?"
I burst out laughing, "Yeah they did, I just ran out of gas"
He busted out laughing as well and asked if someone is on their way to help. I said yeah and then he went inside.
While I was waiting on the late driver I proceeded to call several folks, including sick Tom. He laughed also. It took the driver an hour to get to me because he had to go to 3 gas stations to find a freakin gas can!!!
Luckily Emery is alright and has been running like a dream since. Next time I'll know to pay attention to little lights without beeps.
If you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at?
Oh what a night!

XOXOX

  1. At least your coworkers helped you, good for them. I had a similar experience and it did not go well.

    And what was last weekend, we wondered if it was "whacked out customer weekend"?
