Had to wake up early today. Not really my forte as of late. I've really gotten out of the habit since I moved down. Its not like I have a job to make it to. I told Bob last night that he was going to have to make sure to get me up. He was apprehensive about doing this because I'm not always the nicest person to try and wake up. I've told people a million times...I can't be held responsible for things I do or say, or decisions I make when in the half-asleep mode. So he can't sleep..kinda like what I did ALL night, and he gets up earlier than usual, this being about 5:30. I'm finally feeling like I'm sleeping well. Then he comes back in and he's going to leave for work early too and he tries to get me up and I'm cranky. Now, wait a minute. You're leaving at least 20 minutes early for work and you don't have the time to wake me up patiently? Give me a break! I can't help it if I'm a heavy sleeper. I always turn my alarm clock off in my sleep unless Im working or teaching. Nothing registers in the back of my mind that I shouldn't do that.
Anyhow, flash forward a couple of hours. Its now 8:30 am. I had an appointment at the Spay & Neuter Clinic here in Greensboro to get Guinness neutered today. Poor puppy...bye bye balls! Anyhow...I've been trying all over creation and my nav system is now saying "When possible..make a legal U-Turn"...I do and head back the other direction. Then it says again, "When possible..make a legal U-Turn." HUH?? So its sending me in circles and I'm going all over the place.
In the meantime, Guinness..who isn't always thrilled with being in the car for longer than it takes to get to the park..starts puking all over my back seat. I'm calling the place and they're giving me bogus directions and they practically sent me to High Point before they said.."Oh...We've got you going the wrong direction. You need to turn around." I'm freaking out, I'm late, and Guinness is in the back seat licking his vomit off of the seat. Thats Awesome, Guinness..thanks for your help. Now its really ingrained in the fabric. I even stopped to try to clean it up. All I was able to do was ascertain that he had puked a lot and that if I opened the door and tried to clean it up he was going to dive past me and make a run for it. Thats not exactly what I needed at that point.
I managed to hold it together long enough to get to the clinic. I would have liked to have sent Guinness off in a better way. I also let the big "G.D." fly out of my mouth during the fiasco, which I now regret..especially seeing that I really want God on my side right now when my dog is going under for a surgery.
Poor Guinness..First I spin the car around in circles and he pukes all over the place, then I send him off to get put under and have his balls whacked off. Its just not our day, is it buddy?

Thanks! I'm hoping that the carsickness was just a combination of the u-turns and him not being able to eat or drink since the night before. Unfortunately, he always starts to whine in the car after a certain amount of time so I think he does get nauseous. He doesn't seem to like being on our bed either. We think the pillowtop mattress makes him feel unstable. Thanks for the positive vibes!

I've been meaning to comment you about you wedding dress. I love it. It'll look beautiful on you. I think a cabin in Tennessee would be perfect. I LOVE Tennessee! My mind is flowing with ideas for a cabin wedding. Haha. Anyway do you have a photographer lined up? There would be so many awesome wedding shots you could do there. Ok anyway I'll stop. I could go on and on. :-)

You are a girl after my own heart, I swear. Not only am I a regrettably heavy sleeper (gets me in trouble at work often) but I also have a dog that often pukes in the car. Poor Bailey gets so car sick. Driving through the mountains is an exercise in torture for both of us. I feel your pain!!! I hope Guinness made it to his appointment (even if unfortunate for him) and that you made it back home okay, too!
