The Salad Incident

Since I started this blog I thought I would keep it just on knitting, but sometimes I find situations in my life that I would like to blog about.  I guess I could start up my old personal blog but I like to keep my life simple and sweet, meaning I'm a one-blog girl :)  So I guess I can occasionally blog about non-knitting stuff right?

Or.. mention one thing about knitting - my Etsy store sales have been slumping lately so I've been bummed about that.  That's ok, after a full holiday season of spending, 'tis the season for not spending!  I could relate - I haven't bought anything this month besides a $16 Ipod FM tuner that I desperately needed for all the road trips I have been taking for work!  This slump has allowed me to come up with more exciting new things to sell at my store... more about that on another post!

So I'm away on business tonight, and whenever I travel on my own I usually order room service.  But in the case of tonight, the hotel I'm staying at doesn't have room service.  So every time I stay at this hotel I always go to a local chain restaurant to get food.  I hate eating out on my own, so I usually go to the drive thru to get food, then eat in the semi-comfort of my hotel room.

The last time I went to this restaurant (which was last week) they forgot to give me cutlery with my order, and I didn't realize until I got back into my room.  I wasn't too happy about that.  So this time around, I kept reminding myself to ask for cutlery.  I ordered a dinner meal and a salad, and when my order came I made sure I asked for cutlery (which they forgot to provide... again!).  When I got back to my room I was so hungry I started eating my meal.. half way through I had this sinking feeling something was missing... my salad!!  I was so distracted by the fact that I might not get cutlery that I forgot about making sure everything I had ordered was in the bag!

I called the store (took me a while to get someone on the phone.. no one likes to answer the phone there!) and talked to the manager and she said the salad would be delivered to my hotel.  Now there is one thing I would like to point out - the restaurant is literally a 2 min drive to my hotel.  It took them 45 minutes to deliver a salad... AND the delivery guy forgot the dressing.  WHAT?!?!  The delivery guy said he had to go back to the store to get it.  I figured it would probably take him another 45 minutes, so I just said forget it. 

..... and to make matters worse I brought a knitting project I wanted to start and I realized I brought the wrong needles :(

It's just one of those days..... blahh!!
