Wednesday: Ozzy and I picked Dan up from work and we went straight to get the rental car. We came home home, loaded the car and we were off! We got a Chrysler 300 C... I WANT ONE!! It took us about 2 hours to get to Flagstaff, I guess that's about normal. We tried to check in early but they were "doing maintenance" on our room. So we drove around for a while and walked around walmart, LOL. We had lunch at a BBQ place in the "Basement Marketplace" and it was terrible! Neither of us could eat it, we ended up getting our money back. About 3 we got into our hotel room and passed out. We had been up for 2 days! We woke up to Ozzy giggling and decided to go to dinner at the place we had seen on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. I have to say, Guy let us down! We went to Salsa Brava. My first chimi was soggy and gross. They remade it and it still wasn't great. Dan's wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Lesson learned. Two bad meals in a day... it was bed time!
Thursday: We got a bit of a late start. Showers took FOREVER because there was pretty much NO water pressure. It was pretty bad. We missed the "complementary" breakfast so we had Ihop (I had never been). It wasn't too bad... for the life of me I can't find a place that cooks an egg over medium correctly but oh well. We met a nice couple at the table next to us. They live in Mesa so not too far. Their youngest is a little younger than Ozzy so she was happy playing. After breakfast (and Ozzy crying that she misses her "Donna"... NOT the girl's name... Belladonna is Jen's daughter's name, LOL) we decided to head to the Grand Canyon. Here's a tip... even if you only plan to go in for an hour they will charge you 25 for a 7 day pass! We didn't think it was worth it so we turned around at the gate. We stopped at this place that was Flinstones themed. Ozzy got to swing and play on the slide and teeter totter with Daddy. She didn't want to leave but she never does. From there we went and played in the snow. I got a bunch of good pics and Ozzy LOVED the snow! Again, she didn't want to leave. Anyone else notice the pattern? LOL We went back into town and I noticed I had a missed call. It was a 727 area code I didn't recognize. I listen to my voicemail and I hear my mom's boyfriend in the background telling my mother he's sick of her sh*t... good for him! So I call back and she answers. I asked her why she called and she asked who I was. "Who in the h*ll do you think it is, doesn't the 623 area code give it away?" Still didn't know who it was. "It's your DAUGHTER!" She either said she didn't have one or not to call again. I couldn't tell, she was slurring BADLY. I never thought I would see the day that she didn't know who her own daughter was. Just goes to show where her mind is at these days... at the bottom of a bottle! ANYWAY, we went to the room and changed into dry clothes and went to Chili's for dinner. When we got back Dan brought up the question of coming home tonight instead of tomorrow. We would get a refund for one day of the rental and not have to eat another meal out. So I packed up the hotel, we loaded the car and headed back!
When we got to the apartment Dan brought the bags upstairs. We had to bring that in because it would NOT fit in the Civic. I guess the neighbors were out when he came up here and I think he may have scared them half to death. He unlocked the door and then drew his gun to clear the apartment. He wanted to make sure no one broke in and was in here. The neighbors saw the gun and high tailed it inside. LOL Maybe they will actually be QUIET when they come upstairs from now on! But we took the car back (I wanted to keep it... FOREVER!) and came home. Ozzy's mad we took her car away, she loved the rental too! We're all home now. Dan's playing his Call of Duty or whatever online (there's a shocker... not!), Ozzy's watching cartoons and getting her bed all comfy for her and I'm on here. In about 10 minutes I'll be in bed on my way to la la land. I'm exhausted and my back is KILLING me! On the plus side, coming home early means I can go to the chiropractor tomorrow instead of Monday! Dan's coming with me tomorrow to get his back done. I will be chipper Amber again tomorrow!
Night night Cyber land!
