We hit the road about 9am on Tuesday. Now, last trip Judy was very patient and I could get there whenever I wanted. This trip she was up at the crack of dawn waiting for me and of course I am not the early bird. I got stuck in traffic for over half an hour on top of leaving a half hour later than I was supposed to. First words - "ABOUT TIME". We started heading west and of course hit mad work traffic through Connecticut and New York. Judy's turn to drive. Judy is not used to having any obstacles in her way while driving. mumbles under her breath "should have left earlier". LOL
I am deemed the night driver. I have no problem seeing at night. I am used to obstacles every time I drive. Not 5 minutes after I took the wheel it started to rain. We are in Tennessee and if you dont know much about it, it is tornado alley. Suddenly I come up on swirling leaves. The swirling and swirling of leaves on the Hwy. I say "Oh NO, could that be a sign of a tornado?" Immediately Judy comes back with "ITS FALL!!!!".. eeeks. She must be tired.
Every 2 miles the smokeys had a car pulled over. I say to Judy, Must be because Tennessee has such a low crime rate the cops have nothing else to do. She says "What do you know about the crime rate in TN?" ..me "I don't". That got me started thinking. What else do I think I know what I am talking about. How often do I say things I know nothing about? I think I need a labotomy or something. Judy certain she can't believe another word I say. Hmmm trust issues now?
Than of course she is taking pics with my camera while I am driving and misses all the best shots. Told her to "Take her cotton pickin' hands off my Camera" Just so happens she takes a photo of the cotton plantation. Great isn't it! look close. Thats cotten!!! Brilliant.
At one point she is talking and talking to me and I am not responding at all. She yells at me, "are you going to answer me?". I said Jude, "I am taking a nap" She says "You are DRIVING". LOL
Apparently I have a problem with wrappers. Anything I unwrap somehow does not make it to the garbage. Hotel cups, Cig packs, Coffee packs, ...oh and I have a thing with screwing caps back on. I dont pay any attention. Judy does. Walking around the room, mumbling under her breath, "the wrappers and the wrappers". By the 10th time, she threw my breakfast at me. LOL. (she is totally gonna kill me by the end of this trip).
Not a fan of Memphis TN. HOTEL RULES. All doors are locked at 8pm. You can walk around the back to get in after 8. Restaurants close by 8:30 pm. Early to Bed I guess. Breakfast is served from 6-9am. HUH? I dont even get up till 9. Judy does though, she rises and shines and gives up her glory glory at 5:45.....OMG. She was typing and typing and typing at 6AM. Gaming on FB, talking to herself. I am like "Are you KIDDING?" ...She proceeds to get dressed and says she is going to get me coffee and I better get up and get to work on the Blog. She makes it like I punch a clock or something. I don't see any paycheck coming in to get up at the crack of dawn and Blog.
We are heading out today in search of "Elvis". OH OH. better go now, I gotta clean up the whole bottle of asperin I spilled in my bag before I get my ass kicked. FFS!!! I got some bad habits. LOL
