This year for Christmas Eve Darin was working, so Jo was invited to go with a friend to her family dinner. Liz has been awesome since we moved to North Dakota, and after Dog sitting for us on our quick trip to Iowa in November, she is still talking to us! She works for the local taxi company here in town, and was going to be on call that night, she needed to go into the office for about an hour (or so we thought) After making all of Jo's Scentsy deliveries she headed to Liz's office to head to the family's when she was done.
It was a busy night for Liz, only one driver was scheduled and well, a first for both of us, here's a rundown of the night.
Liz was awaiting my arrival at her office and we drove to the airport to pick up a stranded Christmas traveler due to our Christmas blizzard, the taxi's are handicapped accessible and we had a tough time figuring out the seat and turning it into a seat, finally our passenger sits down and forces the seat to cooperate. We drive him to his hotel and Liz gets out to open the door for him and POW!!! He is literally EJECTED from his seat. Luckily no harm was done and we were all able to laugh. We went back to the office to see how the lonely driver was doing, he was still pretty far behind so we went out again and yet another ride. We went to pick up an elderly woman on her way to Christmas Eve Church service, we got her to her services safely and again with no harm! We then went to a local restaurant to pick up a worker and take him home, he did not have correct change for the ride so we stopped at a gas station to make the change, when returning to the car the door didn't get shut tight and the lights kept randomly flickering during our journey to his home. I call it a journey because of the previous mentioned Blizzard we were having. The roads were very slick and Liz was driving a vehicle she is not used to driving. By this time we have received even more calls for rides, so we headed to another hotel in town to pick up a shopper, we took him to the store of his choice and picked up a couple waiting for their ride home. By this time Darin is calling and wants to know where we are to come join us for Christmas Eve. Now, please tell me how to answer that question, when we are literally traveling through town. We sent him to Liz's office in hopes of our safe return there a few minutes later. We continued on with taking our couple home for the Christmas Eve celebrations and alas we had the driver caught up enough for us to go to the office. By this time it's too late to join the family for dinner, so we met Darin at the office and told him of our adventures, as we were trying to remember all that had happened and all the calls we had received during our journey to schedule their rides for the next few days. It was quite the night, action packed and comical to say the least, I went home with my cheeks and stomach hurting from laughing so much and so hard! Liz told Darin that she was the driver and I was the brains, well Liz, I will be your brains anytime. Thanks for the fun night and not letting me spend the Holiday alone! You are a wonderful friend, and I don't think I will ever forget EJECT-A-MUNDO!!!
