Vacation!

Leaving first thing tomorrow morning for a nice peaceful week in Vermont. Staying at a lake house with the family. Just hoping the rain stays in NY! It's been like Seattle here and its getting old really fast.

So this is how my morning went...

I go to get my car serviced, just a basic oil change before the road trip... and after waiting 20 minutes in the street just to get into the service center there's this guy inside freaking out that they ran out of loaner cars. He is ranting and raving, you made my appointment for Friday, how could you make my appointment for today, you told me today, and run out of cars? They are apologizing and offering him another service center to go to, but no none of this is enough he is so pissed. He shouts that he is going to call the police. Yes that's right, the police. They say go ahead and call the police sir. So he goes outside to call the cops. At which point they are able to help assist me and I say how I can't believe how some people can be so upset so early in the morning, I am still waking up. And the guy is like oh yeah we get all types. They promise me my oil change will be done first thing. So I take a walk across the street to get breakfast at Dunkin Donuts. I am about to order my oh so favorite Strawberry Banana smoothie and get a banana walnut muffin. Get this - they no longer sell smoothies! D&D has discontinued them! Oh no that is not enough... the cut back on their muffin selection as well! No smoothie and no banana walnut for Shannon.
My brother was so excited hearing this, he asked if I stuck it to the man storming out of there, outraged, No Smoothies! No Banana Walnut muffins! I am calling the police and high tail it out of there.
Of course I did no such thing. I laughed to myself thinking of how the man from the car service center would have reacted and simply ordered a small hot chocolate and a corn muffin. So sad I will never again enjoy one of their smoothies though... they were so yummy! how to say goodbye to such a treat right before summer I have no idea.

After I texted all my nearest and dearest friends about D&D's bad decision to discontinue their smoothies and cut back on their muffins my car was ready and I was off to work. Now I am just putting off packing which is the only part of vacation I do not enjoy. Let me get it over with! Hope to post how great the week was when I get back : )
