from the road
July 28th, 2007 @ 9:31 am
this is my first official phone-to-blog post. I know I’m a little slow. and my phone automatically converts my lowercase “i” to uppercase. sigh.
anyway, I felt the need to pass on some essential information for both girls and guys regarding road trips and pit stops.
girls: hurry up. nobody at phillips 66 cares what you look like. neither does anyone you pass on the road. get in, get out. there’s a line of I-just-drank-a-lot-of-starbucks-two-hours-ago people waiting on you.
guys: flush. sometimes the sign on the door that says “men” really implies “men OR women who really hafta go and don’t want to wait behind three high school girls on a youth trip”…so some of us aren’t afraid to journey in the land of the splattered floor. please do the few of us brave girls a favor and flush your stuff so we can at least stomach being in there.
this concludes my soapbox. which I might add was also empty in the previously mentioned men’s room.

i am on the road as well and have to pride myself in my pit stop speed. Many a Mexico missions trips has prepared me well. However I try not to stop in the mens if possible.
Our biggest delema on our first together road trip is do we go with garth brooks or billy idol….it is a hard choice. I have also found out that if there is a dance remix chad has got it and I have now heard it.
Over and out. (going with the road trip theme)

Ha! Most men WONT admit this - but I have had to go badly enough to go to the “ladies” room on occasion - and sadly - you gals can actually be pretty gross too. I expect it in the guys room - but in the “ladies” room? Maybe its just as gas station room thing. Why is that? - and why do people eat gas station food? Fried potato wedges and chicken fingers and nasty restrooms. MMMMMMM!!!!!!

It takes more gut for a guy to go in the girl’s can than vise-versa. That’s just a fact of life…

I like to play a little game when I travel….not going! I challenge myself for hours until I finally give that sheepish and weird look of…”I am so sorry about your car!” If I do stop, I run in and cover myself with the fragrance pine cones (all flavors work) and sprint in on a kamikaze mission for relief….Great post Anne!

i have a bladder the size of a pea, so going in to the men’s restroom is one of the many “interesting places” i’ve relieved myself. one little tidbit though…if you have jeans on that touch the floor, just make sure you hike them up before entering that “guaranteed-to-have-pee-on-the-floor” room.
ewwwww!
