So Big J and I headed down to Lake Mary (Orlando) this past weekend for my work Christmas Party. It was great to meet every ones significant other and see everyone all dressed up senior prom style. But since I do live in 6 hours away, it's a weekend ordeal. So after drinking all weekend (did I mention that our company also owns an Irish Pub...that is walking distance from the hotel that we always stay in) and having a good time.
Anyway, Sunday we where cruising home and we stopped at one of those weird turnpike rest stops. For those of you who live in Florida, you know what I'm talking about. For those of you who don't, it a stop in the middle of the turnpike where you can get anything from gas to KFC to a bag of oranges and even tickets to Walt Disney World. So we hop back into the Jetta, and it won't start. Are you kidding me. We are 5 hours away from home.
So Big J has me go in to the 'wal-mart of gas stations' to get a coke. Who knew that coke would eat away corrosion on a battery? Gross. I'm never going to drink a soda again. Ever. Anyway, that did not work. Crap. So we go to the gas station 'section' and the attendant calls some super secret guy. And this guy shows up...
Ahh! The sky opened up and the sun shown down on this blessed man. He gave us a jump...and we where on our way!
Hope everyone had a good weekend!

ugh that sucks. glad you got back safely! Did I dream this or are you running Miami marathon? i think i just agreed to do it after drinking some wine.
Awesome! It is going to be an awesome race! I'm so excited! Let me know if you are going to do it for sure!!
I do love the picture of wrecker guy and hope that your tight ass is loosening up. It is a real pain in the ass, literally!
Well at least you had the super secret guy come and save you. I have pay yearly for my super secret guy, well worth the money.
Your employer owns an Irish pub? How lucky is that? If you like Irish Pubs, I highly recommend that you do the Dublin Marathon one of these years. The whole culture is based around the pub and live music in the pubs. One of my favorite travel marathon experiences.
I'll be pacing a buddy through his first marathon at Miami to ease back in after IMAZ.
I think *you* made his day. Cut outfit. Where did you get that shirt?
That blows. You looked geourgeus at the party - as always.
