Seriously

Ok, sorry to have depressed anyone who read the two previous posts. I'm trying to get all the damn things Ive been meaning to put on here out - I'm about to start a 7 day stretch at work and doubt highly I'll get to do any posting. Only because even when I'm not working I cant seem to get it done! LOL.

Anyway, this weekend we went to the beach for Little Man's 5th bday party. On the way home, Karen and I stopped at the new rest area on 64 West around exit 220. When you have been in nasty rest areas, new clean ones can be quite exciting! So we go in to go to the bathroom and we had several interesting experiences.

For starters they had a toddler toilet! U know the ones that are literally only like 12 inches off the ground and have smaller seats. So cute, so nice for kids so they aren't balancing on the seat attempting not to fall in. Now my problem with this is #1, why the hell wasn't there a sign on the door? Because had I not been paying attention I probably would have fallen on the ground trying to sit on the seat. I noticed when I opened the door that it looked a little small. I have a big ass and all, but it was still puzzling. So I stepped back and checked the next stall, and it had a regular toilet. You'd think it would at least have a sign to prevent injury to that unsuspecting person who really has to pee and goes in the one stall open and isn't paying attention. You seriously could probably throw out your back sitting down on that, or getting up for that matter! Not to mention the possibility of not 'making' it in the toilet due to the smaller size.

U know most everything is automatic now, the toilet flushing, the water faucets, sometimes the paper towel dispensers. This rest area followed suit and had an automatic hand dryer. Except it wasn't just a dryer it was a freaking cyclone! I know I can exaggerate, but I'm telling you this thing was NUTS. I stuck my hands under it to dry them and the next thing I know its like I was at a rock concert (cause of the noise) and the skin on my hands was being 'blown' so hard, it actually had ripples in it!!

Picture this its almost midnight on a Sunday after a long weekend at the beach. I'm tired, Karen is tired and I'm trying to tell her about this blow dryer except its so loud I can't. All I can do is SHOW her the ripples (not to mention I'm laughing hysterically at this point). She proceeds to wash her hands and dry them, but is forced to experience the cyclone herself. Lets just say the hysterical laughter started all over again. I'm not kidding you when I say it could blow a small child over. I only wish I had video on my phone or had taken my camera in cause I would have recorded the shit and put it on here so people could see the nonsense. Karen and I laughed about it all the way back to the car. And decided that was one of those dryers you could actually use to dry your hair, unlike the cheesy ones people try that on sometimes. But be prepared, cause your face would get blown off in the process.

I promise, I'm stopping there next time to record it, I apologize to whomever may be traveling with me. (And maybe it doesnt sound so funny in writing, but I'm telling you it was crazy).
