stranded in little rock
So who knew that there would be an ice storm and our girl trip to Dallas would be delayed for a day in a Motel 6 somewhere in Little Rock, Arkansas with only a Waffle House and some sort of convenience store to keep us company? I guess I have heard of ice storms in the south but didn't expect to actually experience one. It was kinda fun to be holed up. I was glad to have Carol Ann with us to translate the Southern dialect - everyone is incredibly friendly and says "thank kyew!"
As it turns out, breakfast at the waffle house was a great meal of grits, waffles, eggs, bacon and surprisingly good coffee. Dinner was not so good. We ran out of hummus and Cheetos so settled for chicken wraps and chicken salad...not so good from the waffle house - a mystery meat that was supposed to be chicken. We got some Coronas from the convenience store though. What party animals we are - a six pack of Corona to share between the three of us.
In between breakfast and dinner, we took Lewie the dog for a walk and out to pee. We watched deals on Steepandcheap.com. Life was suspended for that afternoon and we were cushioned in a bubble of time, free from thinking of work, and it's trials and tribulations, aging parents, Christmas and other things out there in the world. I felt blanketed in a world where there were no demands and people called me "hon" and "sweetie". The world stood still for a while and it was fun.
As it turned out, we went and got one more six pack of Corona. Kseniya and I each drank one and that was it. Life is good stuck in a Motel 6 in Little Rock at Christmas time.
