I had to take Sharreda back to Emory this weekend from spring break. The original plan was to drive to ATL Saturday and drive back to Memphis Sunday. Mother Nature had plans of her own. A big storm went thru Atlanta Friday and more of the same was predicted Saturday. It was the same storm that stopped the action of the SEC game in the Superdome.
So any way I decided to get a Red bull or two and drive up and back Sunday. I thought it might be fun, on a road trip, me and her talking and what not. I also decided to let my younger sister and nephew ride. Neither of them had been to Atlanta. I gassed up, picked everyone up and we left around 8:20. But wouldn’t you know, soon as we hit the MS state line Sharreda goes to sleep!
She is not a morning person, so I truly understand. I’m not a morning person either, but she by far has me beat! At this point I think everyone is sleep but me, so of course you know what I do… pop in the Elements, Earth, Wind & FireJ The car was pretty decent, a new Camry. My last rental to Dallas was an Accord. I think I liked it better.
Ok… coming up on AL…surely she’ll wake up by now. I look over….nope, still sleep.
Seems it was just yesterday she was sleep in a car seat. What is that noise? My sister is in the back sleep snoring loud! Geez!
So now we are in AL headed to GA. everyone is waked. All of a sudden my sister, who was in the back seat leans forward and asks “Y’all want some Potted Meat, or some Turkey Meat?” All hell naw.. no she didn’t bring no potted meat on a 5 hr road trip! I promptly told her I’m not about to smell no potted meat from Alabama to Atlanta! I would’ve put her and her cans on the hood of the car!
We make it on campus and I help Sharreda with the bags. I make plans to grab a bite to eat. One thing I didn’t like about the Camry is that the cell phone plug didn’t work. We were in Sharreda’s dorm room and I told her I’m going to charge my phone up while we go get something to eat. I’m coming back up stairs, open her doom door and she has this look on her face… me, “what is that smell?” My sister has a big row of crackers eating a can of Potted Meat in Sharreda’s dorm room! Oh – My –GOD..just KOUNTRY! So I made her get rid of it and we went to get something to eat at Applebee’s.
The drive home was pretty cool, made it back around 9pm. I plan on going back pretty soon to give her a surprise visit like she did me one weekend. Called me asked what am I doing…yada, yada… and she pops in town. I know one thing… there’ll be no potted meat in the car!
