Monday madness in Mesquite

Headed North for a conference Monday-Wednesday.  It’s going to be a LONG week!

We arrived, but it was a scary trip.  Nothing like someone who is used to driving a 2 seater sports car, driving a 15 passenger van at 80.  Did I mention they are easily distracted?  I tried to sleep about halfway through, figured i’d die in my sleep that way.

I’ve never been to a Grandy’s.  Pretty certain I don’t want to go back.  I did not select our lunch location.  I know better and know I need to speak up.  Worst chicken sandwich I’ve ever had.  It was also in the ghetto.  I was afraid my last meal was going to be a nasty one.

We arrived and checked in.  I’m on the top floor of the hotel…my key didn’t work…twice.  We got everything set up although it took FOREVER.  Too many technical people trying to do something that should have been easy.  *Sigh*, nothing is ever easy.

At least I got Texas Roadhouse for dinner.  LOVE their pork chop with a sweet potato and their mixed veggies.  It’s one of my favorite go-to travel meals.  Glad I was able to convince our driver and the passengers of that one.   And they got to enjoy their beer and steak.  Win-win!

I like to wait until we are actually on our trip, so I can get snacks included in my expenses.  Decided to find a Walmart after dinner.  We found the ghetto.  I got my snacks.  Co-workers were more than a little po’d because turns out that Walmart is in a dry county, lol!  Didn’t bother me, I just wanted peanut butter, almonds, drinks, and greek yogurt, and I got what I wanted ;-)

After all of that, it was pretty late when we got back.  Figured out I needed to wake up at my regular 4:30, because I needed to be working at 6:45.  Talked to Dan, turns out we both aren’t feeling well :-(   Wonder why he’s been sick more this season?  I’d think working out and eating better would help with that (even though the gym is germy which may be a downfall).  I told him goodnight and we were both off to bed.

Tuesday ought to be another adventure, lol!

  1. At least you made it in one piece!! My car was a sports car so I hear you on riding in anything remotely large. Even just riding in the back seat freaks me out.
