101N

Someday I seriously doubt I can answer yes to this question. Last night was most definitely one of those times. At times when I cannot sleep or am feeling a bit anxious I simply get in my car and just take a drive. usually I hit the 101N and drive no farther than Camarillo. Well…I guess last night I just got way too into my ipod and before i knew it the 101 signs started to read “San Francisco”. Excuse me? Where the F’ am I? Oh somehow I managed to not recognize any of the exits for Camarillo and was now on the edge of….Santa Barbara!!!

Let me jsut say this was a much longer “drive” than I planned on and by this time I’m hungry. So while searching for the 101S entrance I spot a McDonalds. Score. I had been wanting a Shamrock shake for weeks now but haven’t gotten on yet. Perfect time NOW. Pulling into the drive thru I notice there’s only 1 car before me; yeah! Did I mention it’s almost 3am by now? Finally I reach the squawking box only to discover the woman working doesn’t speak any English! Um isn’t that a prerequisite to work the drive thru or any job? After about 10 tries I finally figure it out that the woman’s trying to tell me that there’s no ice cream after 12am. WHAT?! After all this and still no Shamrock Shake!!! Ugh.

Finally about 4am I get my ass back home and into bed. Not really the plan I was going with at the start but it all did make me laugh a whole bunch at myself. Thank the lord I can do that! And tonight I got my freakin’ Shamrock Shake!!!
