Fay is not my friend.
Though she may not have made an appearance herself in Columbus, she sent her good buddies wind, rain and gloominess.
Jeff and I were pretty much stuck in the house all weekend except for a quick trip to brunch and the grocery store this morning. When the rain slowed to a sprinkle for about an hour in the late morning, we made our escape.
Of course, all of Columbus decided to follow us.
The lines at IHOP and Waffle House were unbelievable. We popped into O'Charley's and found a crowd of well-dressed churchgoers waiting. Luckily, getting a table for two was no problem. I always feel a bit funny wearing jeans and T-shirts while other diners are wearing skirts and suits, but we're eating at family-friendly chain restaurants for goodness sakes. I don't want to slide into a sticky booth wearing a dress.
After brunch, we went to Publix where we encountered tons of other shoppers. The rain seemed to make everyone a bit slower and grumpier than usual. We finally make our way to the checkout. We have 12 items. Two too many for the quick lane. We get stuck behind a family with 312 items. And they write a check.
On the drive back to the house, the rain started again.

Jose would have flipped! Nothing frustrates him more at the store than someone paying with a check. ARGH!!!!!
I thought Jeff was going to slap the woman. I had to try to distract him with magazines.
