Night Night Sleep Tight

Today was a very educational day in the life of a consultant. I woke up at approximately 5:30 AM to take my car to the nearest Acura place for what I thought would be a quick repair before work. The nearest Acura place was approximately 30miles away so that was always helpful in Atlanta traffic. Upon arrival, the sweet service men of Sons Acura in Morrow, GA told me that it would be an all day ordeal. Because I drove myself there and didn't have a way to get to work, I had to just turn right around and head to Peachtree City. On my way home my roommate called to tell me of some wonderful news: there was a bed bug spotted in our hotel room. The saying my parents use to tell me of "night night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite" came straight to mind. I use to think that bed bugs were just mythical creatures right up there with the loch ness monster and the unicorn. I honestly had no idea they were indeed disgusting little predators; however, the fact is that they are real. After talking with my roommate, she told me she had called the front desk and should evacuate immediately. I felt so horrible due to the fact that I was still driving back to Peachtree City and saying I have ALOT of stuff is quite the understatment! In fact, here is an image of me with all of my luggage.


Long story short, I now have a King room all to myself and it is pretty nice. I do miss Anna, my roommate, though; however, she is just two doors down in a King room of her own. The moral of the story is that I will NEVER disregard that saying. It is actually a terrifying phrase after i googled imaged bed bugs. Now that you are curious just don't do it and take my word for it that it is disgusting. I suppose we should all be a little more cautious when it comes to staying in hotels. All in all still a really fun day though and really don't have any complaints just minor bumps in the road which are to be expected. Nothing is ever perfect; however, the party in the USA "Opening Ceremony" shindig we had tonight was pretty perfect getting to see Ryan Lochte over and over plus good ole American commercials like Coca Cola never gets old. I will close by saying I am proud to be an American and let the games begin. Night night, sleep tight, DON'T let the bed bugs bite!!! But really.
