Is this what Murphy's Law feels like?

So, today has been a rough day....

The hubby and I left for Texas today, and no, we're not visiting family. We are down here to visit friends from Penn State! I don't know that I would be here if it were for any other reason.

It all started with Dan.....So we asked our friend to drive us to the airport, sometime between 1000 and 1030.......apparently, there was a disconnect and he thought PM, rather than AM! So at 1030, we're freaking out and trying to get a hold of our friend, no such luck. So we toss our stuff into my car, turn it on....no gas....shit.

The hubby's car has gas and we zoom off to the airport, having no idea where parking lots are or how long the shuttle take to get to the terminal. We finally make it to the airport, whew! Boarding the plane goes pretty well. Then we sit at the terminal for 45 min waiting for a connecting flight! We wouldn't have panicked if we had known....

Ultimately, we made it into Houston (Hobby) only to find out that our friends thought we were coming into the other airport (IAH). Luckily, they had figured that out during our 1 hr delay getting into Houston.

We had a lovely dinner at a real rib shack, that was quite tasty. Swung by the liquor store for some fun and then picked up snacks at the grocery. We leave the grocery store and the car started making awful noises. Turns out, the rack-and-pinion steering the Jeep went. We made it far enough to get to the mechanic.

The benefit is that the mechanic drove us to our friends home and will come and pick us up in the morning and provide a rental. Though it really sucks for our friends, considering that this is the second time the car has broken when we were involved with it.

Overall, it's been a kind of crappy day. Luckily we are all crazy enough to laugh at the stupidity of it all. That and we have a lot of alcohol to make us forget...

Maybe tomorrow will be better.
