Friday night Bobby and the kids and I were staying in a luxurious 2-star hotel that we pricelined for $50 in Charleston, WV, stopping over on our way to visit my folks in Virginia. Joshua and I woke up before Bobby and Sophie, and as I was starving, we decided to sneak out and check out the free hot breakfast at said location of luxury.
It was pretty good! Waffle maker FTW!
Anyhoo, I was looking lovely in my PAJAMAS and no makeup (at least I had washed my face the night before!) and unbrushed hair – kind of like this:
And for some reason at 8:15 am there were ALL these people in suits and dresses in the hotel breakfast area! Um, awwwk-ward (for me.)
I was getting Joshua his bagel and muffin when a guy in a suit walked toward me and started getting some other breakfast product. I did a double take.
It was an old high school boyfriend.
Wearing a suit.
Did I mention I was in my pajamas? What was old high school boyfriend doing in Charleston, WV wearing a SUIT at 8:15 am?? Standing next to me in the breakfast line???
I wanted to ignore him and pretend I didn’t see him, but really, he was 3 inches away from me. So, I bit the bullet and said, “Um, hi George (not his real name.)”
He looked me in the face and said, “Huh?”
“Um…aren’t you…George?” I stammered?
“Nope.” he said as he looked at the strange woman in the pajamas.
“Oh, um..sorry.” {Grabs six year old and runs to nearby table to consume scrambled eggs in shame}.
Most of me was very relieved it wasn’t George.
But ALL of me was wishing I’d just kept my mouth shut!
And he TOTALLY looked EXACTLY like him.
And all the people were wearing suits and dresses because they were there for a Jehovah’s Witness convention.
And yet, NO ONE tried to save the soul of the woman in the pajamas. At least I had that going for me!
That happened to me once on a very early Saturday morning at the DMV. I had to renew the tags for my car and there, standing right in front of me in line waiting for the place to open, was the guy I went out with a month before that never called me back! Except in my case, it WAS him and I DID look like “DEATH warmed over”!! When I got home, I told the guy I was currently dating that I saw him and he said “And you looked like THAT?!?” and proceeded to laugh his a** off. He thought it was hysterical and I wanted to die!
i have retyped this 3 times. i’m laughing too hard to see the screen. hahaha. loved it. thanks for helping me wake up!
Oh my gosh, Jenny! This CRACKED me UP! Hilarious!!
And, oh yeah, sorry that happened to you. Bummer. …. No, I’m not sorry. I’m a little bit glad because I’m still laughing! Yikes! Great friend and reader, huh?
