Yesterday was one of those WTF days. It all started the day before when a friend and I went into Saskatoon to do hair for a wedding. Let me explain by doing hair I mean that my friend did the hair and I stood there holdng bobby pins or whatever else it was that was required. Anyways we left Dodge and drove to Saskatoon. Nothing happened on the way there but when we arrived we called a friend to get directions to their house and the directions read like this....go down the street till you get to a loopty loop and go over a bridge. Anyways we completely missed the loopty loop and had to do some backtracking. Luckily we managed to get there in one piece.
Once there we decided that it would be easier to stay in a hotel that was closer to the place that we had to do the hair. We started driving there, pull up to a red light and there is this woman yelling at us from a car beside us. Turns out it is the woman that we are to be putting rag rollers in her hair in prep. for the next day. Being that we are at an intersection the other car pulls off to a side road and we pull a few crazy moves to follow her. Well that was exciting. Anyways we get to the hotel we are staying at. I get out to see if there is any rooms left while they go park the car. To make a long story a little shorter we get the room and finish putting in the rag rollers at 2:00 in the morning. We finally got to sleep at 3 in the morning and we had be at this other hotel at 8:45 the next morning.
Here is where the WTF day begins. The alarms go off at 8:45 as planned but we kept hitting snooze. We realize the time and we are late. No time for COFFEE....for those that know me I NEED MY COFFEE IN THE MORNING! Anyways...we gather our stuff, grab the keys and head down to the lobby to check out. We get there and see that there is a line. Well that was one bad start. We get checked out and proceeded to the elevator to go to the underground parking. We hit the down button and another lady hits the up button. Both elevators get there at the same time and there is no arrows to indicate which car is going which way. We picked an elevator and guess what? You guessed it! I went all the way to the top stopping at every floor.
Finally we get to the car after cursing how the day started....remember none of us has coffee in our systems. Pull out of the garage and start heading to the next hotel to do hair (which is only a few blocks away). Miss the turn, have to go over the bridge and down a ways before we can turn around to go back. Get to the turn, realize that we can't turn there from our side and have to go further down until we can turn around again. We finally get there and rush into the hotel....jump in the elevator hit the button. The door closes and then......nothing!!! We aren't moving. Here's me a little irritated and hitting the button repeatedly. Still nothing. I looked at my friend at told her to call up and get them to come down while I go in search of some much needed COFFEE!!! I find the cafe and ask the lady there for two coffees to go and she must have noticed the look on my face because she gave me the coffee free of charge and said "Noone should have to go without coffee."
I locate mt friend and one of the ladies form the bridal party was there and she informed us that we needed a key to access the 6th floor because it was a privacy floor. Well I felt stupid but at least I had my coffee.
The rest of the morning was hell! Late bridesmaids, frazzled Bride, rag rollers that got tangled in hair and we had to cut out a few, because of the rags rollers the lady looked like Shirley Temple.
Finally it is all over and we head out to finally eat. Get to the restaurant and our food took forever to get to us because my vegetarian lasange got stolen?? Whatever. Eat and leave. Light up a smoke and walk to the car. Notice that the car (new one that belongs to my friends boyfriend) has been hit! Oh we can't believe the day we are having!!!
After that we decided to get our stuff done fast and get the hell out of there! I never was so happy to get to bed that night and just forget about that day!!

I think it all started with the loopty loop.
That's never a good sign.
