This is the kind of stuff that happens to me…

So, I’m on my way to the Girl Scout meeting tonight and I needed directions. (We are meeting at girls’ homes until we find a permanent place to meet.) I am on the freeway - during rush hour - trying like hell to get there at 5:30. The directions were propped up on my purse in the seat next to me so I could glance at them when needed. Well damnitt, someone slammed on their brakes and the papers going flying and land on the floor…just out of my reach. Shit.
I couldn’t exactly stop. I was on the freeway. I reached and reached and no effing luck.
Long story short… I got lost once before I got to where I could grab them. I got there at 5:25.
sigh.
Five minutes early? That’s shot my record out of the water.. I’m either right just in the nick of time, or two minutes late. On special occasions I can stretch it to up to 15 minutes late.
Did you also take the picture while you were careening down the freeway?
LOL. You need one of those grabber things. Either that or salad tongs. I’m with leaf— five minutes early would be a miracle for me, even if I had the directions imprinted on my dashboard.
So how was the meeting?
ok talk of a Girl Scout meeting and a pack of Marlboros in the middle console.
Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do.
Ciggarettes will kill you.
Steve: only if you use them properly.
Lucky: So, you got there before 5:30. That’s good in my book. You should see the shit that usually happens to me. At least you don’t need phone books to reach the steering wheel.
I have a very bad sense of direction and I get lost all the time. this was just one very bad experience if you feel like reading it.
Leaf~ I was actually surprised I made it. I was the last one there, though.
Adam~ Yes, I did. See my first picture post!
Moonbeam~ I have gotten a lot better about getting places on time. I used to be bad. Oh. My. Gawd. The meeting was total effin’ chaos. I don’t know if they have spring fever or what but they whipped our asses last night. But I love ‘em all the same!
Andy~ SHIT. Those should not be in the picture. I quit smoking over a year ago and recently decided I want to smoke when I drink. I offered to help my friend with her daughter’s Girl Scout troop. It’s eleven 5, 6, and 7-year-olds. There are days that make me wonder what the hell I got myself into…
Steve~ DOUBLE SHIT. I know!!! I don’t think I will become a smoker again though… Those things were effing expensive. I quit right before prices went up.
Key~ I’m pretty sure I am using them the right way to eventually kill myself. Dude…phonebooks? What do you use for the pedals? I know your short raccoon legs can’t reach…
Cap~ I HAVE to have directions to places I have never been. I can’t wing it at all. Read the post…and you’re right…it’s scary as hell!
Prosthetics.
Damn. I should have known.
They’re striped.
Damn, I really need to look over my comments before I submit. Mostly the name part.
I kinda like Hot Stranger
Most do.
It’s mysterious…
Just a bit.
Mmmm .. .cookies.
HAHAHAHA
If I were a Girl Scout, I’d definitely want you as my troop leader. We could get badges for smoking, drinking, cussing and talking about evil co-workers. Troop 666!
LMAO! It’s funny because it’s true. hahahahahah
I get home and think, “Damn. If those parents only knew.” NOW I totally understand my parents’ theory of, “Do as I say, not as I do!” hahahaha
Okay…if this is any indication…
We got a flyer for a lock-in at Incredible Pizza. It is for all the troops in this area. (Dude. That’s a lot of little girls.) My friend sent me the e-mail that said, “OMG. We would need to bring some serious booze in our little sippy cups.”
a friend of mine was a troop leader and went on a weekend trip with the girlscouts and brought vodka. no problem.
Should sorority sisters supervise girl scouts? Hey, if they let me procreate, I figure ya’ll should be just fine.
only if it is the hot stranger. we don’t need any more animals.
Agreed, Cap
we definitely need more hot strangers in this world then smelly coons.
Yeah you do.
then procreate, bitch.
oh am i aloud to say bad words.
Have you seen my posts?

You’ve already seen the Spawn of Stranger. I don’t think the world is big enough for another little me.
ugh! hate when that happens!
