The lock down drill went fine. Gert said (direct quote) "Mommy, we walked in a very orderly fashion to Mrs. Johnston's first grade classroom. We didn't... even... make... a.... PEEP! And then we just sat there. That wasn't as much fun but I think we finally got it done by three o'clock" (yeah... school gets done at 2:30 so... LOL)
But here's the irony for yesterday. Guess who got trapped in a building. Yep... me. I went to Subway yesterday for lunch, brought my book (Currently reading Mayflower) and sat down to enjoy my sandwich and some reading.
"HOLY SHIT"
That was from the Subway worker... looking out the window, where a car had slammed into the back of another car, pushing it into the third car. All this right in the Subway driveway. Blocking the Subway driveway. No one was badly injured, in fact just one passenger in the middle car was complaining about a sore neck. But HOLY COW did the guy in the middle car give the lady who hit him an ear-full of NOT NICE. Mind you, I'm sitting inside the restaurant and I can hear EVERYTHING he's saying to her. And bless her heart, she's just this little old lady (driving a Beemer) and she's crying. The Subway employee had gone out to see if everyone was okay, and the little old lady said she's been driving for 60 years and this is her first anything - no tickets, no accidents, nothing.
So... there I sat, watching the action... stuck... at Subway. Which isn't a BAD place to be stuck... good food... cookies.... but then I thought about having to call my boss and explain what the situation was. Yeah, believable, right? The clock was creeping towards 2 (when i should be back from lunch) and I was starting to think I really WOULD have to make that bizarre phone call (the two guys from Media-Com at the table next to me said they would vouch for me) when they finally got the cars out of the way and I could leave.

Have you seen the commercials for the Shamwow? Why does the guy have a headset mic on? It's... tv.... not a trade show. I don't get it.

Guess where I get to go for Thanksgiving. Hint - you're going to be JEALOUS
Completely unrelated topic********************
I am totally in love with Mr. B... just in case you weren't aware. I am... a lot. *Sigh*

I am jealous -- you are going somewhere warm aren't you?
So Ok sorry about getting stuck at Subway. But you're so right they do have yummy food. And their cookies are so good.
And I know where you're going for thanksgiving. So nana booboo. Absolutely I am soooooo jealous. Did you get that soooooooooooooo jealous.
And of course we all know by now just how over the moon you are with the B-meister.
Your life seems to be such an adventure next to mine. So...did you have to make the strange call to your boss? Inquiring minds want to know! I want to know about Thanksgiving too.
I hear that you are going someplace strange for Thanksgiving. Where they don't serve stuffing.
And I had to check out the Mayflower book...because I always want to know what people are reading. It looks like something my mom would like...so I just reserved it for her on CD from the library. Do you like it? Have you started Twilight yet...or are you protesting??
I wondered the same thing about the Shamwow guy. He sorta creeps me out anyway. If you have to be stranded somewhere, Subway is a good place. Glad to hear no one was seriously hurt in the accident.
OOOOO I bet you are going to ATL for Thanksgiving!!!!!
You are such a nut. And that is why I love you.
And I have a feeling I know where you will be on Turkey Day. And yes, I am jealous :P
But I still love you.
I hope you are going somewhere AMAZING for Thanksgiving. You so completely deserve it! (I hope the Shamwow guy is nowhere close because he gives me the creeps!!)
YOU WON YET ANOTHER BLOG AWARD
I am SO SORRRRRRRYYYY!!!
- Jennifer *Tink*
Happy Tuesday btw!!!

I love the way you jump from one subject to another...so funny and I love hearing about your love for Mr B. I can not wait to 'meet' him :D
Just so long as the place you're going ISN'T the ladies' room of the grocery store up the street from me. *innocent whistling*
Oh wait, there's no way that'd make anyone jealous, is there? 'Specially since along with the residual funk, it's been snowing here for hours and hours now, huh?
Hoping it is someplace warm and tropical with loads of sunshine! :D
Does where you are going for Thanksgiving have anything to do with being totally in love with Mr. B? I think I may be a bit out of the loop. Have not been reading or posting much. Think I am caught up on my sleep now and can become a contributing member of society again.
Did you get back to work in time?
Poor lady
did you get back to work on time?
thanksgiving?
the McDonald is open on thanksgiving, isn't that weird?
have a nice day
Geez, I don't even know which part to leave a comment on...
I'mgladthedrillwentokay,Iwannaknowwhereyouaregoing,Ican'twaittoseeapictureofMr.B,andIhopeyouknowyou'regonnahavetoinviteallofustothewedding.
Whew...
Now I'm outa breath.
Oh, and I'm glad you're not stuck at Subway.
That poor little lady. I bet she was shook up over all that.
I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!!
So glad Gert survived intact.
And bless that little old lady but not the jerky guy she hit!!
OK will this be a "good" place for Thanksgiving or a "GREAT" place for Thanksgiving, hints please??
Are you going to Hawaii perhaps for Thanksgiving? Vegas? Eloping with Mr. B whom you love very much? Am I close?
On a side note...Mr. Sham-WOW with his drive-thru-esque microphone has been made fun of many times at our house. My husband thinks its funny how he talks out of the side of his mouth into the microphone. Weird. I wonder if that thing works?
that is a crazy story. Are you going to spend Thanksgiving with another blogger or with your love?
Wow! How crazy is that??? The poor woman.
Had to CRACK UP...saw the Shamwow commercial yesterday and thought ...what the???? What is with that guy??
Those little head set mics are a ton of fun though, I must admit. I teach K/1 sunday school at my church with my hubby and we have a blast with those mics!! It makes you feel part superstar and part McDonald's drive through worker!! :)
I can think of worse places to be stuck than Subway! I felt bad for the lady in the story. Yes, it was her fault but 60 years with no driving incidents is pretty darn good.
I can't wait to hear where you're going for Thanksgiving.
I get emails from the Shamwow guy and I don't even own one!
How does that happen?
I wonder if he wears that thing at home?
That little old lady just couldn't wait for her $5.00 foot long, could she?
and hope you are going someplace wonderful with Mr. B.
Hope you are going somewhere nice.
Sounds like when my hubs got hit from behind in the McDonalds drive thru!! The lady said the devil got into her car - and she had a Jamaican accent too!
that poor little old lady!!
glad you got to make it to work, i hate having to call the boss and explain
Well, at least it made your lunch interesting .. on the bright side :o)
Poor lady .. some people can be very selfish. Mr. Screamy Pants wasn't doing a very good job walking in her shoes, now was he?
Hope you made it to work on time! And glad the lockdown practice went smoothly :o)
I was once stuck in my home due to an accident at the end of my driveway!
I'm glad the drills went well.
Read your most recent post first, so I TOTALLY know where you are going for Thanksgiving, you lucky duck!
I'm glad the drill went well too! So glad.
I have already told my son, once I turn retirement age, to not allow me to drive anymore. He has committed to being my personal chauffeur. LOL Yeah...right!
Poor old lady getting yelled out. I don't understand yelling at people. I'm just not a yeller...except perhaps with my kids, and then I'm just ashamed. It's rare but it can happen.
At least you had a book and food while you were stuck there.
