So today we start our trek down to Horseshoe Bay. Now, as most of you know, the day you set out on a road trip, you’re busy as a one armed paper hanger! Well, I am! As usual, I left all the chores to be done to get ready until the last minute! Hey! I’m a busy lady! Spent most of the week mowing and edging pastures and my yard. And of course, the obligatory pool time. Ok, I’m a slacker when it comes to getting ready for a trip. This morning was spent buzzing around the house and eventually thinking about packing. Now, my bestest friend Jordan starts his packing process weeks before. But, my sister Peggy and I just grab half our closets and drawers and throw it in the trunk! Stop judging me! I can feel you judging me! Now during my hasty preparation I neglected to eat breakfast. I wasn’t really worried about it because we were going to stop in Hico at the Koffee Kup for our usual burgers and onion rings. OMG! Onion rings! They have the best onion rings! And pie but, the onion rings! Can you tell I like the onion rings?
Finally after getting everyone packed in the car we head off. My stomach is growling but Hico is coming. Now, we had several people get in way during the drive but, Peggy with her lead foot blew past them, yelling ‘Dumb Ass’ as we sped past. When food is involved, the women in my family don’t fool around! Finally, we arrive at the restaurant and are saddened to see way too many freaking cars in the parking lot! It’s 1:00 on Thursday people! Shouldn’t you be at work or napping! Luckily there was one open table. We quickly place our order and start drooling. All three of us are starving! I start to watch this older gentleman finish his lunch and get ready to leave. He didn’t finish his French fries! If I slowly reach over I just might be able to snag a few. But, sadly, the waitress beats me to them. All around us people are getting their food. Peggy looks longingly at the pie that is being delivered to the table next to us. She shields her eyes and starts chanting ‘don’t look! Don’t look!’ The people at the other tables are starting to notice the drool coming off our faces and there’s chuckles going around the restaurant. The ladies at the table next to us offered us their leftover fries! Suddenly this little lady comes over with a napkin and picks up a pickles from a hamburger off the floor. Wait. That was right next to me? All I can says, it’s a good thing I didn’t see that before she got it. Yes, I was so hungry I would’ve EATEN THE PICKLE! Peggy finally decides to try her theory about going to restroom while waiting for food. She says it never fails, go the bathroom and they bring your food. And you’re not going to believe this but, it actually worked! Why the hell she didn’t think of that 10 minutes before I’ll never know! So, yes we got our food. It was delicious!
Now on to the condo! I hope we don’t have this problem the rest of the time were down there.
Who am I kidding?
