     If I was still doing categories on my blog this one would go down with the cvs fiasco about a year ago. In fact the cvs fiasco occured on March 9th. Must be something with that date....Anywhoo (I just said that to annoy sista. Haha.) you can get to the cvs blog by clicking this link. http://www.johnmikel.com/1/archives/03-2009/2.html and scrolling down to March 9th, 2009.

Ok, here is where the fiasco that happened today started.....
Me and dad were going to the post office to mail some packages. I was riding my scooter and dad was walking. Already a big mistake after we knew we were getting food for everyone. Haha. There is a Subway (the restaurant) and a Dunkin' Donuts combined down in the shopping center. So dad went to Subway while I went to DD. My friend Montu was working there. I go there all the time so I know everyone's name. :) I got to the register and I said I need one medi- and Montu said "Medium Iced Coffee?!" So I said "Yeah." And he was walking off to make one and he asked me a question. I don't know if he said "Cream and Sugar?!" or "Grill Cheese?!" (Because I always get a grilled cheese, too.) So after trying to think of what he said I said yes. Lol. So immediately I don't know what I even ordered. So he later came and sat down an overflowing iced coffee. OVERFLOWING. So I brought it over to a counter where all the straws, napkins, and that stuff was. So I wiped and dried it up as much as I could. But I sloshed it all over the counter and down the sides and on the floor. You know how when you are in a place with background noise and you hear voices and music, but there is always one voice that just goes louder than all other voices, or maybe just a little baby screaming? Yes, well I heard a woman behind me say in spanish "Messa, Messa." Whatever that means. Haha. I will look it up later. So remember I had my scooter, I rolled it beside me over to subway and told dad I got my food. I sloshed my iced coffee all over their floor. So dad got napkins and wiped it up off the floor and told me to drink the iced coffee down some. Our joke is now I guess I forgot I had a straw because I tilted it back like I was about to drink it and spilled it on me. Hahaha. So, I rolled my scooter through the puddle I made on the floor when it spilled over on me. And proceeded to roll it across the restaurant. It then left a path across the whole place. Once I got to the 'clean up counter' I wiped it off me. And noticed I left a trail. Dad said that he could trail where I went. So I looked across the restaraunt, and dad is bent down on the floor with napkins sliding them down the trail. So when he gets to the counter he looks at the mess I left. You know, the coffee, spilling down the counter. So he says "Have you been over here?" I said "Yes." and he says "I can tell" Hahaha. So he cleans that up, runs over to pick up the Subway sandwiches and we left. So joking about it the whole way back, we have to go in another restaurant. Ahhh! So, we rolled into Cosi and dad got a sandwich and put it into the Subway back and we left. And we went back to the hotel. We had lots of stories to tell. Funny stories. It will go down in history. It will be one of those special, inside joke, life story things. :) Dad said next time he will just bring a mop. Lol.

Oh, and yesterday we were going to the post office and a lady stopped me and dad in her car, she was talking half in spanish and she said "Where is the coffee convention?" Because there is a convention center next to our hotel. I was standing a few feet from her car and I thought she said "Coffee Shop?" And there is also a starbucks next to our hotel. So I ran to her car, and screamed "Starbucks?!" After I realized what she was talking about I walked off dying laughing. 

Well, that is all that has happened today so far. Dad and Taylor just walked out the door to go to an audition.

We will be leaving maybe this weekend or next week. I'm so homesick! I miss you all so much!

John, I had no idea that Dunkin' Donuts and catastrophe could be considered in the same sentence. You surely brought a smile and a giggle with that one! I'm glad to hear you are all doing (relatively) well. :) I appreciate hearing of your adventures and this one was a biggie. Thank you for the updates. I miss you! I'm happy to know how best to pray for you, Taylor, Mom, and Dad (and Valentine who it sounds like needs to learn boundaries). Ha! Keep up the great work! Hugs to all, Mrs. Troyer

John, that is a riot! If David and Thomas were there...David would have asked the Starbucks barista for the mop and Thomas would have asked if he could carry your coffee for you! :) Loved the story! Give hugs to you, your mom, your dad, your sister and just a pat on the head to your new critter who runs through the tubes!

John Mikel, It sounds like you had quite an eventful day. I hope you all enjoyed the food after the experience you had in getting it. Maybe today will be better, but maybe not so amusing. The weather here has been really nice for the last few days but is supposed to rain for the next several day. The temperature is not supposed to be cold though. I hope you have a wonderful day. Love To All, Dadaw
