hogeye relay and my coffee.....

Today B ran in the Hogeye Marathon relay...and I watched, and had a coffee incident.

I took him to the square around 7:15am this morning, took a stroll around and then went by Common Grounds for a carmel nut latte (i felt this was deserved, 7:15am on a Sunday morning) on my way to the relay point at Sam's Club so I could wait for him to come running in, nearly 6 miles later.

While I was waiting, our friend came that was on Bryan's relay team so I decided to get out and stand out by the road to watch for him, and take some pictures.  You know, help out with the cheering and taking of pictures.

So i was jostling my coffee, cell phone and camera as I got out of my car.  I stood up, put the coffee on top of my car and locked the door.  I then realized my sun roof was open, so I unlocked my car, sat down and punched the close button on the sunroof (see where this was going)....somehow when the sun roof started to close, it knocked my coffee over, and i looked up and my coffee cup was upside down over my head, wedged between the closing window and my car, and was pouring all over me and my car.  I think the coffee cup must have rolled around for a second before coming to a stop between the car and sunroof window, and coffee was pouring on me a few seconds before I realized what was happening....the processing time on this one really got me.

First of all, a carmel nut latte is seriously sweet and sticky.  Secondly, it was topped with whip cream and caramel.  I was wearing a navy dress with a white cardigan, my white cardigan was completely brown.  I then used it as a towel to try and mop up the mess.  And I still have it in my hair.  I would really love to know what the people around me were thinking/saying as I started screaming as coffee poured all over my head in my car through my sunroof.....probably saying "how'd she manage that?!?"  But if there is a way for something ridiculous to happen, I'll find it.

Bryan did great, his team made great time, and the first thing I said to him after, "way to go!" was "we have a problem in the car....with my coffee."  He wasn't surprised.

And that's all I have for today folks, stay tuned in.

it was so nice outside this morning, it almost made me want to go for a run.

 

here he comes!

  waiting for the relay!

the chip swap, and he's off!
