Go here for the scoop on Mel and SEP (Mel admitted it and there were witnesses).
Okay, with that out the way...
After several weather-related flight delays, I made it to Atlanta about 5:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. My roommate had rented a car and we'd picked up another chaptermate at the airport so there were three of us headed to the hotel. JoAnne (the other chaptermate) had asked if we could stop by a liquor store to get her some alcohol (to help her sleep...at least that was the "official" story). We said we would.
Meanwhile, a friend of mine was scheduled to have surgery on Wednesday and I hadn't gotten to talk to her Monday so I was trying to call her all morning Tuesday (while we waited for the danged plane!) without success. So Tuesday, as we're headed to the hotel, I finally reach her and I'm telling her about the events of the morning when the car I'm in pulls into a shopping strip parking lot. I assume we've found a liquor store but instead we pull into the drive thru of a McDonald's or Burger King or something, anyway... They pull up and order two cokes (I'd said I didn't want anything), which is fine but I was a little confused - didn't we want alcohol??? But I was on the phone, so I said nothing. These women pull up to the window and say - I swear this is what they said - "Do you know where we can get some alcohol?"
I wish I could have gotten a picture of the poor girl's face when they asked for liquor at a drive thru window! Poor girl probably thought I was on the phone trying to score some drugs from my dealer. Seriously, what kind of lush thinks they can get alcohol at a drive thru? LOL
Probably not the best impression to make in a new city. Welcome to Atlanta!
Oh, and we never did find the alcohol. *sigh*

I never admitted to anything and she didn't cry.
besides, you probably don't remember correctly anyway after consuming all that booze....
LOL
Let's review, shall we?
1. You admitted to yelling at her.
2. Your good friend, Maria, said she saw SEP tear up.
3. And Honey, when she read your account of things, responded with "OMG that was YOU?"
Uh huh, I rest my case.
P.S. We never found a liquor store and I didn't have not one drop of alcohol the entire conference (not for lack of trying though! geez!).
P.S.S. I really do love you Mel. *smooch*
LOL! Y'all crack me up. :)
okay, I think you really found the liquor store and just don't want to admit to consuming massive amounts of booze.
Not that I blame you...
and I believe her eyes watered because she was laughing so hard she accidentally poked herself in the eye.
And i told you, it was more of a 'whisper-yell' because I had no voice.
I know you love me. Ditto.
