Tuesday and Wednesday
We got up stupid early Tuesday morning because Josh had a very early meeting to go to, for which he wore an actual suit. I took pictures of him holding various things, which was very amusing to me. He tolerated it. That's all that matters.
Once he left, I totally lazed around, not doing much of anything except trying NOT to go outside because it was just so ugly hot out. I did spend time on the balcony though, because I think the balcony is my favorite part of the entire experience. I like watching the traffic below, seeing people drive retardedly, watching what they are doing when they are walking, seeing what people in pickup trucks have in the beds of their trucks. Josh says I just like "judging from on high" and he may be right.
I watched some TV. I read. I showered. Then I made what was not the best decision. I put on my "Free Hugs" shirt and decided to try starbucks again. I was starvingfor caffeine, as well as meat. I've not had meat at all on this trip and I'm so TIRED from an all-carb diet it surprises me. It's not that I'm purposely trying to be meat free, just that everything is so damn expensive, and the only cheap place within walking distance is Subway and the only thing I ever get from Subway is the Veggie Delight...which I've had twice this week, along with some trail mix, some crackers, some peanut butter on bread, and some granola. I'm grained out. I plan to go to White Castle on the way home. I've never been, and by god, I need some cow.
So I wandered down town, and realized that the free hugs shirt had people actually wanting hugs. But only the crazies, and I had a man ask me if hugs were all I was giving out. (MY brilliant response? "No, I give out smiles too!" Then I cheesed hardcore, like a dork.)
I visited a store called "A Taste of Kentucky" which had all kinds of touristy crap but nothing I thought the girls or Erik would enjoy, and then I decided that I needed to get my ass back to the hotel and change my shirt. I went back to the room and cooled off for a while, still hungry and made coffee (there is a coffee pot in the room, but it only comes with one prepackaged coffee filter per day, and then you get one creamer packet, two sugar packets, and straw to stir it with. Gross. It was pretty dark, unsweetened coffee. I ended up walking over to Subway, even though I really didn't want to go back into the heat.
I got back a few minutes later and watched some more bad TV and tried to nap, to no avail and a while later Josh got back. I was watching Wife Swap, which I love an he hates, but it's my guiltiest dirtiest TV pleasure. He was hungry, but I was not, but I walked with him to Subway. Walking was more like swimming in a bath, the air was so hot and wet.
When we got back, we watched gameshows until it was time for "Pretty Little Liars" which Hannah and I usually watch together. We watched it together and talked about it on IM. Afterward Josh and I watched a terrible new gameshow where they drop stuff of a building (including the contestant and their family) if they answer trivia question incorrectly.
We went to bed watching Kathy Griffin and I eventually couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.
Sleeping has been weird. I woke up at 3:30am and couldn't sleep. It was hot as hell in our room, so I ended up turning on the air, which we tend to shut off at night. I am not used to sleeping in clothing, but I kind of have to, because anything else would be weird and uncomfortable for everyone. I couldn't sleep, so I took a shower, and then I grabbed my laptop and wrote this long blog that I lost.
I went back to bed and slept a few hours until Josh got up. He went to his conference, and I piddled around the room, listening to music on my computer.
Finally around 9 I figured it wasn't going to get any cooler out, so I packed up my stuff and put it in the car. It was SO hot outside, I couldn't even stand it. I got my stuff in the car, then went back to the parking garage elevator and when I hit the G button, NOTHING HAPPENED. The doors shut and the elevator was just sitting there. I was like "ARE YOU KIDDING??" I could not bear to be trapped in a stinky elevator with no air, in a parking garage in the 100 degree heat. I pushed the door open button and it opened and I got out. I debated taking the stairs but it was SO HOT I got back in the elevator. I figured I could give it a second chance. This time, when I pushed the G button, it lurched into action and I walked through the swelter to the hotel and back into the air conditioned bliss.
I was determined NOT to go outside anymore, and I didn't. Josh got back around 10am and we just hung out and watched the clock until almost noon, which was checkout. I was so ready to go! We checked out and I am actually still typing this while he is in his conference. It started nine minutes ago...and I've been at this computer for almost 40. I hope they don't kick me out because I can't bear the idea of being out in the heat. And Josh just texted me and said that he will be another extra 20 minutes because they changed the order of the presenters. BOOO.
So here I am, typing away. A jogger just went past the hotel that looked like Harry Connick Jr. :)
Josh should be back in an hour. I am so ready to be on the road. SIGH. It's been fun, but I'll be glad to get back to my routine.
And this is most of the blog that I lost, but I don't know what all I've forgotten. Oh well.
Out,
