the seattle story

funny, i just told danielle the story today. i felt that one week removed should have been enough. but then i had to pick up the sisters today.

so, last week my sisters slept over at my house, so we could leave early for seattle. they went to my grandpa's 92nd birthday in nevada. anyway, one of my sisters was so upset with me that i had eaten dinner without her, and that she was going to have to order pizza. which is a whole other story. anyway, we played trivial pursuit and then went to bed.

the next day started with one sister complaining about the other one snoring. blah blah blah. we load up and head south. on the way down (while in washington) we were in the express lane, when someone entered the highway and totally sped up to where we were and then cut me off, and slammed on their brakes. fyi, we were doing 140km, and they had passed us. so, i was ticked, but my sister was PISSED, as we passed them on the right, she was out of her seat, screaming and gesturing at them. and then when we were in front of them, she was signing for them to pull over. she was telling me to pull over, and was ready to kick ass. i had to grab her and tell her to sit down. clearly, there was no way i was going to stop. i was just like, sit down, we're in the states, they could have a gun. cause the guy was totally getting ready to pull over.

after that, we stopped at the mall. we were headed upstairs to victoria's secret, when one sister got lost. (i guess going up the escalator was a bit too much for her). once we found her, we got to victoria's secret, and the other one left to buy something else, without telling me. so in the 7 mins i was in the store, both sisters were gone. oy. so, i had to wait for 1/2 (of key shopping time) waiting for them to come back. then one sister went to the info booth to call me, because she couldn't find the store (which was about 30 steps away).

anyway, i just dropped them off and headed home. sweet. quick. home.

today i went to pick them up. i got a speeding ticket on the way down (thankfully i'll be selling my car before i move in august) so no more speeding tickets. everything was fine picking them up. they were waiting right where i told them, and they had only been waiting for like 3 mins. but when i was putting their stuff in the hatch, one sister decided to throw more into there, and i didn't see her, and whacked her in the head with the door. i felt soooooo bad. she was actually really good about it, the other sister was freaking out though, and saying she has a concussion and we should go to the hospital in case there is bleeding on the brain.

i finally got them in the car and we left. we ate lunch, and oddly, things were going well. then we crossed the border, and got cut off by someone who didn't shoulder check. i honked, because otherwise we would have been hit, but the same sister as before totally freaked. it was insane!!! i wanted to kick her out. no one was hurt, and the person didn't hit me, cause i'd honked. then, not about 10 blocks from my house, my other sister was like: turn this cd off! i can't stand it anymore! so i said, we're 5 mins from my house, and it's the hip, how bad can it be? and she continued to rant. so i turned the music off and was like, ummm okay, relax. so then she keeps spouting off about how it was making her crazy. i told her to stop, or it was going back on, but she just continued. we got to my house, and my only choice had been made. no more driving anywhere with my sisters. enough is enough!

and that's the seattle story. i did cross the border with 5 new underwear and a shirt and was passed through without paying duty. possibly the only good thing about this last week and the once dear to my heart, city of seattle.
