where am i??

let me just start by saying that yesterday was a very long day for me.

it was beyond stressful. i can't even begin to say. 

anyways. after a long day, i had to run some errands and meet some friends. 

while i was out, Garran asked me to stop and pick up some dinner for him since I was not going to be home. He had had a rough day and so I told him that I would get him some rice and beans. 

one of his favorites.

so i stop at office max and then i walked down to this little mexican restaurant.

I walk up to the counter and asked if I can place an order to go. 

The lady says sure. 

I tell her that I wanted an order of rice and beans. 

she looked at me kind of funny.

like i said it had been a long day, so i might have had just a little bit of attitude at this point.

i said again, "rice and beans!!"

she asked me what kind of rice. 

i thought to myself, what kind of rice?! the only kind you guys make! spanish rice or whatever the reddish rice is that every mexican restaurant in the world makes.

she then hands me the menu and asks me to select off of the menu. 

so i look at it. i guess reading through my frustration and i see...

chicken rice

beef rice

shrimp rice

I thought to myself....what kind of mexican place is this?!?! 

i was really getting frusterated. 

so I said.."i guess chicken rice!"

and then she asked me what else. 

so i repeat rather annoyed,

"beans!"

she looked at me like I was crazy. 

so i finally say...

"beans, you know like the mushed up beans that you serve?!?!"

she again looks puzzled!

as i am starting to see red, i realize it is because I am in a Chinese restaurant that has a bunch of red lanterns hanging from the ceiling. 

I look at the asian hostess with a blank stare.   

I realized that I looked at the menu on the door as I walked in.
I even thought...hmm that is odd that a mexican place has a buffet!

I just turned around and walked out. 

I think this might just be proof positive that I have officially lost my mind!
