It started with a pitiful little turtle just trying to cross the road. We were headed for the art museum (yayyy) in Fort Worth for Josies art project. Within the first 5 minutes of driving not only do we manage to get lost, but we almost hit a little baby turtle that was crossing the road. He was cute. So we get goin the right way and finally make it to the museum. Well after many annoying detours because of all of the construction. Now i need to back up for a sec.
We love Ellen. Like love love love Ellen. So when Ellen tweeted that she was doing a huge prize giveaway in Dallas on Tuesday, we were all over it. But we somehow had to figure out how to be at the art museum by 500 and at Ellen by 530. It was tricky. That was the beginning of our adventure.
So the museum. we get there at 430 and quietly walk in. this adorable old guy was sitting at the counter staring at us as we opened the door. Its no surprise that museums cost money, so we kinda looked around for some place to pay. but there wasnt one. so josie awkwardly asked the guy if we could "just walk in?" and he rudely said "yes." it was awkward, but step 1- done. now on to finding a art piece and sketching it. but all we could think about was the fact that we were missing ellen, so art wasnt all that important. so what does josie do? she takes pictures of the old vase with monsters on it. she took pictures of the art, in the museum, with the guards ten feet away. i was dying. i just knew that the guard was going to come grab us by the arms and walk us down the stairs and throw us out the door. but somehow that didnt happen.
now to ellen! we finish breaking the law at the musuem, and run out to the car to hurry to get to ellen. did i mention that we love ellen? ellen said that we had to be there by 530 to enter the contest, and after plugging the location into the gps, we were harshly told by the gps that the estimated arrival time was 5:32. of course. thats how everything me and josie do turns out. now talk about two very anxious people. our hearts were racing and all we could think about was proving the gps wrong and getting there by 5:30. it was intense. but....
we didnt. nope, 5:36 was our arrival time. just more proof that everything we do is a failure. it used to be sad , but now we just laugh. but its ok, because in the end we made it on national television!! no, we didnt get there by 5:30 to enter the contest, no we didnt get to win the car, no we didnt get picked by the camera guy to stand up front, yes i did step on a bush that made me fall 4 feet down which attracted eveyones attention, and no, we didnt even win the free underwear. but that was all expected- because it was a megan and josie adventure. but yes we were on Wednesdays episode of Ellen. seriously.
so then we got hungry. youd be hungry too if you almost hit a turtle, broke the law at a museum, rushed to beat the gps, and stood in jealousy for 2 hours while other people got to win a car. so dinner time!! now Ellen chose to do this giveaway in the ghetto. so obviously, we wanted to get out of the ghetto before choosing a food place. which led to Pappacitos. we enjoyed some good food and a very funny 50 year old Latino gay guy waiter. ive never heard someone say "oh my god" as well as he did. and he gave us plenty of as he called "water on the rocks". our day, like all other good days, had to end. as we were leaving dinner, i grab my phone out of my purse to check it. and WOW. i had 48 missed calls, 6 texts, and 2 voicemails. all from my parents and good friends. everyone knew we were in the ghetto, so when we never answered our phones they started worrying. well, my mom started worrying, which led everyone else to worry. thanks mom. ive never had 48 missed calls within a hour time period before. it was ridiculous. but all in all, it was a great adventurous day. and here are pictures from our national tv experience!
