what a trip
i am back from ohio/illinois. and i think i got food poisoning. i have been feeling awful since last night, and i threw up this morning. my boss graciously let me take the day off. i worked a whopping 2 hours and 6 minutes.
here's the trip run down
we got in at 1 am friday morning. we slept til 7:30 when christina told us there was a problem with the note to get her out of school early. her mom had written a new one. we got her to "lose" the new one and jot one down like the original. this note got her out early with no real specifics on if she's return that day.
needless to say, we were awake. which made sarah mad. she's a sleep-in kinda gal, but between christina's trauma and the doorbell ringing for the first time in 12 years, we were up. we vegged all morning then picked christina up from school. we got chipotle for lunch and picked up sarah's best friend, consequently named sarah. then we hit the road.
for 6 more hours.
but we hit central time and gained an hour, which allowed up some breathing room and time to check into the hotel and feel better about the travel grime.
we parked in the event lot. we got lost trying to find a free lot. bloomington, il, is not an easy city.
we were in the 4th row on the end, on the floor. fabulous.
kate voegle was ok. not a huge fan of hers.
6ers were HILARIOUS. stephen kellogg and ethan could be twins! they came and got girls from the audience to go on stage. pretty funny. we had these skank whores in the frotn row, though, who were trying to flirt their friends to the floor level. it was nasty. and one chick was about to break a rule... no flash. ok, so it applied to cameras, but she was about to bust out of her barely-there tube top. sick.
hanson came on not that late. sarah got lectured for videoing by nazi event lady. she was a real ritalin sniffer.
their set was short. only like an hour and 10 minutes. and they sang random songs. they didnt even sing Go. they got mmmbop and never been to spain, but it seemed like something was wrong. they were out of it, and cut the show really short. talk about a let down. 15 hours of driving for a let down. it was worth it, because hanson's ALWAYS worth it, but it was disappointing. and we got to wait at the buses, which i have waited 11 years to do, and they didn't sign autographs. and i was the the front and would have gotten one. i wanted to cry but i didnt want to be the loser. so, we went to steak and shake and got dinner & shakes.
we crashed for the night, got up, and drove back to ohio. (by the way, if someone orders coffee at a drive through and want cream and sugar, the person should PUT IT IN FOR THAT PERSON. geez. i burned my leg.)
we crashed at sarah's for the rest of saturday, went to church on sunday, ate lunch, and hit the road.
around 9 pm i started feeling gross. i napped to see if it helped.
it didn't.
i almost puked in the grass outside work today, but i made it to the barthroom.
i did my paperwork and now i am home.
and uploading hanson pics.
and videos i got regardless of that horrific woman.
and getting excited for joy's wedding next may.
