total rediculiousness presented by b. gunn

so i'd totally totally totally forgotten about the rediculiousness of our trip home from v-man but HAD to share his story with you..........

from gunn's blog: the gimp, the slut, and the klutz

"There were many good times had over the weekend, but the best story for sharing is the start of our trip home. We left Guerneville the day of the race at around 7:30. There's a nice windy road leaving the town and I'd already driven it more often that I'd wanted, due to the fact that T2 was several miles away along this very road. As I was driving along, I was relishing the fact that this was the last time I'd have to drive this stretch when suddenly Dana realized she had Sandra's ID. So--we had to turn around and go back. Sandra did agree to meet us half way, but it did mean more time on this stupid road.

As we're driving back and forth through the twists and turns, Katie starts to feel motion sick. This isn't helped by the fact that she ran out of food and hasn't eaten in forever. While we cruise along, Katie tries to sleep to keep herself from throwing up. Eventually her tummy starts to feel bad so she unbuttons and unzips her pants to relieve some of the pressure that's making her feel even worse.

Finally we make it to a Whole Foods just 10 minutes before they close. We walk in and I immediately head over to order a coffee. Dana, having just finished the race, is limping around the store looking for food, but eventually makes her way over to order a sandwich. Katie wanders around the store looking like someone who has just stepped off a 24 hour torture session of riding the world's most puke inducing rollercoaster. After getting my coffee, I head over to Dana and try to hand her an environmentally friendly reusable bag I'm carrying under my arm. To do this, though, I need to set my coffee down. Now picture one of the nice refrigerated sections at the grocery store. You know--the kind with the nice rounded glass front where they had the coleslaw and potato salad. Well apparently when I set my coffee down, I didn't entirely place it on the flat part on top, but rather on the rounded area, so as I'm handing the bag to Dana, my coffee starts to slide down. I notice this just in time to try to catch it and end up juggling it a bit before it turns upside down and douses the entire front of the case and quite a bit of myself in coffee. The workers are now all looking at us in disgust as one of them says "Guess I'll be cleaning that up."

So--I head off to the bathroom to rinse the coffee off myself and, once there, look in the mirror to see that my hair is an absolute mess. It's sticking straight up and is really quite frightening. But, I head back out, get another coffee, round up the girls and head out. Once we get to the car, Katie suddenly realizes that she spent the entire time walking around the the store with her pants unbuttoned and unzipped. So, we spent quite a while afterwards trying to figure out what the people in the store must have thought of us. We finally decided they thought we were a gimp, a slut, and a klutz. :)

In the end, I drove most of the way home, though Dana relived me for an hour so I could sleep through the grapevine. Eventually we made it back to Dana's at 5 am. Somehow even though Katie slept the whole time, she looked even worse than I did, while Dana, who mostly stayed up to keep my company looked totally fresh and alert:"

i heart you b.gunn and katie b :0)
