The broken car wash

Last Saturday I was out running errands and decided my car needed to be washed. Of course I'm much too lazy to do it myself so I was going to let the car wash at Valero do it for me. I pull up and there is a sign saying "Must pay inside". Ok, annoying, but whatever I'll go pay inside. I tell the girl I need a car wash and she shouts back to the other lady in the back to ask if it is working. The other lady says yes. So I drive into the car wash, lock my doors (because I've watched too much CSI) and wait. The car wash turns on and sprays my car with soap and then I hear "BEEP BEEP BEEP". What the heck... so I turn on the windshield wipers so I can see out and the little sign that tells you what to do next says DRIVE FORWARD. Hmmm... I drive forward and realize that the dryer is on. Seriously.... so I pull out and my car is covered in soap. I mean really covered, it's completely white. I go tell the girl my story and she sits there for like 4 min. trying to decide if she's giving me my money back or not. All the while like 5 people come in and out of the store and I can see them laughing. Then I had to drive down Aldine Westfield in a soap covered car to the most awful car wash so that I could spray off all the soap. As I'm trying to spray the car off and focusing on not getting my boots wet I get honked at by a man in a hooptie. Moral of the story... if the cashier has to ask if the car wash is working... it probably isn't!!!

The story behind the blog

Welcome to our blog! Liz and I are amazing friends. The majority of our friendship is lived out over BBM (Blackberry messenger) If anyone knows Liz, you know she is a huge fan of this form of communication. I too am a fan, but really Liz is like my only contact on there. Our conversations are constant and usually last the duration of the day and consist of every type of topic you can imagine, but in every conversation there is humor! Good days/bad days... it doesn't matter. I know that if Liz is on the other end of the BBM I will laugh at least once! The title of the blog and the idea of it is obviously due to a BBM convo at some point in recent past, I mean if not it would have been pointless for me to tell you all of that. 

So, I will start with the title... There I was standing... naked. It all began on the Eve of New Years Eve when I thought it to be a wise idea to get a spray tan. I have done this several times before but always in a booth. This time I was going to try it where an actual human sprays you. Nervous, why yes I was but I was determined to be a shade less pasty for new years eve. So I went. There are too ladies standing at the counter. One is an older woman with pounds to spare on her body and the other is a girl who can't possibly be older than 18 and MAYBE 100lbs. Guess which one is gonna be applying my tan.... yep that's right, THE SKINNY ONE! And, so there I was, standing naked.... Liz thought it would be a great idea for a book title, which it would and we both love blogging and reading blogs... so BAM... our blog was birthed!!!!
