This blog is not for the light-hearted or easily offended. If either one of those descriptions applies to you, i would suggest you start drinking before you read this blog. A sense of humor is suggested. If you don't have one that sucks for you … find one and get a life!
Have I told you guys about my upcoming trip??? I can’t even remember which isn’t surprising because I rarely remember anything but just in case, I’m going to tell you again.
A little background here. I hate buying presents and can never think of what to buy. Sure when the kids were young it was easy because they liked toys but presents for Kevin are just plain impossible. He’s really picky so clothes, items, electronics and the like are out so what does that leave?
When we were younger, probably in our 30’s, I decided to surprise Kevin with a trip. Wow, this post is already going off tangent. At any rate, Kevin was (and is) an avid Boston sports fan so I decided to take him on a sports weekend.
Now this was before the internet (I know right? Hard to imagine) so I had to call tons of places and stuff to figure everything out. I had talked to his cousin who was going to meet us in Boston with his wife and the plan was:
Fly in Friday
Friday night Celtics game
Saturday day Bruins game
Sunday day Celtics game
Fly home Sunday night
It was perfect. All I told Kevin was that we were going away for the weekend. I made arrangements to have Carol come stay with the kids and we were all set to go. I did tell Kevin we were going to a cold place and to pack some warm stuff. I was psyched and we were all set to go.
We go to the airport in Greensboro
Our flight is delayed
We finally get to Newark
It starts snowing
It starts snowing harder
It’s a fucking blizzard
It’s also snowing in Boston
We get on our plane
We taxi to the runway
It’s snowing harder
There’s a delay
More delay
I finally start freaking and tell Kevin that we’re about to be late for the game
Now he’s freaking too
They take us back to the gate
The plane needs to be deiced
God damn it
They de ice the plane
We are told we’re taking off
They close the Boston airport
They close the fucking Boston airport
We get off the plane
We miss the Celtics game
We find a hotel room
We spend the night at a hotel in Newark
We get up Saturday morning
The plane is going to Boston
We get there late
We miss the Bruins game
We finally get there are meet his cousin and his wife
Who totally enjoyed BOTH games
Yeah, so we made it to the Sunday Celtics game but that was the last surprise for Kevin.
Jeez…I never even told you about what I’m up to now. Well, guess what? I’ll tell you tomorrow I suppose. HAHAHA
I love a good teaser every once in a while. I have more to say but you’ll just have to wait.
