It’s 3:30 in the morning and I just checked into my hotel in San Diego.
Why, some of you may ask, am I in San Diego on my way from Phoenix to Seattle?
Well, Papa Beet decided that if we were going to go through the state of California, we should stop in San Diego to see my sister. I explained to Papa Beet that California is a large state, and San Diego is about four hours out of our way, and my sister is not really that interesting. Papa Beet did not see the merit in my argument.
Still, though, why are we just getting to San Diego at 3:30 in the morning?
Well. We’d planned to get on the road around 6 pm — after Papa Beet got off work — which would land us in San Diego around 11 pm. I went to get my oil changed before I left, and the good folks at Jiffy Lube informed me that there was a nail in my tire. So I went to Discount Tire and got my tire fixed. And by the time I’d gotten home and we’d packed up the car and loaded up all the animals, it was 7:30 pm. Then we’d driven about 45 minutes when Papa Beet realized he’d forgotten his passport, and Papa Beet wants to visit Canada while he’s in Seattle. So we go back. By the time we get back to the place where we’d first turned around, there’s a huge accident on I-10 and we’re stuck in traffic for 45 minutes. All these factors combined to result in me reaching San Diego (which is four hours out of our way) at 3:30 in the morning.
Oh and when we passed border patrol in California, Papa Beet decided to be really funny and tell me in a very serious voice that they might not let Leo past because he’s a chihuahua and therefore Mexican. And I was exhausted and believed him and got all upset. Not funny, Papa Beet.
Also: Papa Beet has made breakfast plans with Sister Beet tomorrow morning, so Evil Beet can’t even sleep in.
And did I mention that there are three cats and a dog in my hotel room? And the dog is eating the cat food and the cats are eating the dog food and it’s making my head explode. I swear I could feed my animals dirt and they’d be happy, as long as they’re eating something other than the food they’re supposed to be eating.
And also Max is crying and he’s going to cry all night, because Max always cries all night the first night he’s in a new place.
That said, everyone in Hollywood who was alive yesterday appears to still be alive today. Including Lindsay Lohan, against all odds. And I love you guys very much but I don’t have the strength right now to update further.
Goodnight.
Poor Beet :(
I hope you can get some sleep, even with Max being a mean mo-fo (no offense).
That being said, have a good night.
Ahhhh ha ha ha ha ha.

This sounds like the kind of things that go on with my family. Especially the dog eating cat food and the cats eating dog food…Too funny, Beet!!! You made my morning with ths post!!!
Where;d Toxic shock Syndrome go? Best blog ever.
Hahahahaha, Papa Beet rocks! XD
Oh poor Beet – I feel for you with the kitty crying all night! I hope you got some sleep.
While I am dissappointed that I will not be able to enjoy your witty comments today…happy travels and remember, they are family, they were put on earth to annoy you (keep that in mind when you visit with your sister, we are ALL waiting for some good stories from that visit!!) Happy travels Beet!!
Papa Beet ROCKS! At least you have company -well lots of it as it sounds – this time around. I think it’s good for Leo to be intruduced to the family. Travel safe Beet!
I’ll believe anything when I’m exhausted and high as well. Leo the Mexican, very funny.
Your personal excursions are so fucking nauseating. Can we stick to the gossip please?
Hey, it’s TSS reincarnated.
MW.. FUCK OFF. DONT COME HERE IF YOU DON’T LIKE BEET. WE ALL COME FOR A FEW LAUGHS. GO AWAY..
Hmmm… interesting…we’ve always been so nice to each other here. Let’s not fight like cats and dogs…
peace!
I sure hope you went to Hash House a Go Go in SD. That breakfast is really one of the ONLY reasons to visit SD.
Hey, I’m just pointing out the obvious that this blog has turned into a personal diary with short, commentary-free celeb posts sprinkled in every now and then out of obligation. It used to be quite different…what a shame!
Duly noted, Moany Whiney. Go read another website then.
I do read other websites. And as a reader of this one, it’s my perogative to critique it. The author is self-indulgent to a fault and needs to take a cue from her competition. Bring on the flaming!
I agree Yawn. If a person finds a post or website boring, he/ she is not obligated to read or visit it. That is the beauty of free speech. Beet can write whatever she wants and we are not obligated to read it. If it’s not for you, move along and find a place that you can enjoy. I like the fact that for the most part people here don’t bash one another or Beet.
Good luck with your family Beet. Maybe Papa Beet could drive the next leg and you could sleep! I think you are either very brave or perhaps just a bit touched to make this journey! ;-) I have to say I’m glad I’m not along for the ride physically, but virtually it is very amusing.
have fun in diego, my town! its so hot up in here today!
Yea, it’s 3000 degrees, and boring in San Diego.
isn’t leo only half mexican? he’ll be fine. he belongs in seattle…with the rain and grey skies. i’m being a downer. seriously though, i love it here. it has been GORGEOUS these past few days. hopefully the sun will stick around long enough to welcome you home.
My brother is in the navy, and on the way to japan there was a ship fire and now they’re in san diego while it’s getting fixed. You should visit him
yo quiero taco bell!
9/10th of the people here want dry hump Beet. It is the only reason we hang around for that chance.
To dream the impossible dream…
haaahaha hahaha LOL
I LOVE Beet’s stories! Don’t change a thing. Those of you that don’t like it-goodbye!!!!
You want to dry hump an aging cat lady with marginal writing skills? Whatever blows your skirt up, I guess.
