Let me take a moment to tell you about our roadtrip to the great state of Oklahoma. I worked Friday night at Ezra’s and Maren and Jeff picked me up at 7:00am to hit the road. I’d say I started out pretty good. If not 100% on my game, then at least in the vicinity of on my game.
Sadly, this did not last. As the hours passed and the miles increased between myself and my bed, my mental status took a southward plunge. I found myself obsessed with thinking of celebrity names that started with the letter N. I also made the mistake of drinking 1.5 liters of Mountain Dew in about 20 minutes. So, on top of incredibly tired I was jittery. Good times.
As the time went on, I started to behave like a child. I started asking permission to do everything and Maren had to invent a game to keep me entertained in the car. She told me to look for deer because she kept seeing them. Strangely enough, I didn’t seen any deer at all for 30 minutes even though I looked really hard. Then, right after I gave up and stopped looking cuz I was mad, Maren sees one. Sounds fishy, no? I think so, too.
Anyway, after 30 hours awake and a day on the road, I finally got pooped out around St. Louis and had to take a laying down rest. Luckily, Jeff and Maren took pity on what they were calling “poor little Brianne in the back” and stopped for the night.
Needless to say, I was feeling much better the next day. Although I did continue to ask for permission for some reason. Luckily, that has now completely faded and I’m back to doing exactly what I want to do when I want to do it.
And for those of you who miss Oklahoma and are wondering, we’ve already been to Ted’s and have been to Sonic twice. And yes, both rocked!
Reminder to the readers who might need to make a call for this event: Zak’s 27th birthday is the 21st.
