The other day Brian and Kelly found a newly beloved Indian restaurant. Well, we were all craving it so Kelly, the girls and I ran out for a quick trip to Walmart and to pick up some of this delightful food. Sounds pretty simple huh? hahaha no.
We were driving down Main Street in some Knarly traffic wondering what on earth was going on! Turns out Logan was having a fair that day with a marathon, half marathon and a 5K going on as well. The left hand side of the road was partially blocked off for the runners. Naturally, all the parking both for the restaurant AND across the street was either blocked off or full! Okay so the obvious way is not possible, but you can't fool Kelly and I!!
New plan: find a back route! Okay, so we drive a bit Southward until we can find a turn to go through the back way. Oh we found a turn......several miles away. *sigh* so we turn, and guess what!! You got it! the ROAD WAS CLOSED!!! Okay lets evaluate our situation. We cannot park and go in to get it from the front, and there is no way to get it from the back way....This is so ridiculous I drew a diagram for you!!!!
So what do we do now?! Well the only LOGICAL thing to do was for me to jump out of the car while at a stop light, run to the Indian place, and somehow find Kelly again to go home to eat. Okay.
Kelly: No! Not yet!!
Me: Now?! I'm going!!
Kelly: Wait! I need my wallet!!
Me: (throws wallet back and books it for the sidewalk)
So I'm running down the sidewalk avoiding the weird stares that I am getting from everyone else in the red light lane. While noticing that the runners not only have a devoted lane but the SIDEWALK as well! Oh crap! Well, I suck it up and keep running and in the back of my mind wondering what the girls thought of me jumping out of the car and running down the street...
I get the food and now my goal is to find Kelly. Oh now I notice that I am walking along-side of the runners! YAY! I officially look ridiculous! (WOOT!! KEEP RUNNING!!! Oh don't mind the food in my hands...)
Well, I pass the water station and the cheering fans and notice that Kelly is still in the turning lane
WAIT!!!! Oh, no too late. That's okay, short walk and I'm back in the car and we are both cursing Brian and threatening that this BETTER BE THE MOST AMAZING INDIAN FOOD HE HAS EVER TASTED!!!
(Oh, we never made it to Walmart...)
After I jumped out of the car Kaylee yells, "NO SARAH! COME BACK!!! You're supposed to stay inside the car!" They started driving again, "NO MOM!!! Don't leave Sarah!!"
love!
