BUZZ KILL


This weekend was off to a strong start. The oyster fest was a blast. Met up with the whole family and Simone was visiting me from NYC. Saturday, we went to a great lunch at this place called Orange (Magoo you would looooove). Then, Carrie took me to the blackhawk's game and greektown for dinner. As you can see, our seats were RIGHT next to the players bench. It was such a treat! Here comes the buzz kill... I rent a Uhaul to go up north and pick up the massive print from Kristi. After we leave her house, Drew and I make a MASSIVE run to Sam's club. I bought so much food it was a little outta control. We pack up the car and head to his place to drop off his stuff first. We take the first load up and come down and the Uhaul is G-O-N-E. Okay, just try to imagine this. It was in the back alley of his place, NEXT to the freight elevator with hazards on, upstairs for 10 minutes MAX and it was just gone. We thought it was stolen for sure. We called the towing numbers on the signs and they said they didn't have it. Oh yeah, my wallet, phone, purse, $500 of Sam's club goodies and the print are all in the Uhaul. So, we call 911. We had no idea what to do. We could hardly breathe. Finally, I just said that it's just "stuff" and shit happens. Then, I decided to give the towing place another call just to be positive. You can imagine how helpful and intelligent they are. Turns out she just saw a Uhaul get pulled into the lot! So, Drew and I hop a cab to where Jesus lost his sandals and pick it up. A nice $250 detour. It was the biggest BUZZ KILL ever. Who tows a Uhaul?!? Anyway, We unpacked that sucker and dropped it off as quickly as we possibly could. So, that's my story. Hey, at least is wasn't stolen....
