Tonight I am sleeping under the stars.
In a parking lot.
All because I am in love with Chick-fil-A.
I blame it on the waffle fries.
They have powers that make you do such crazy things.
JUST KIDDING.
Fail, fail, fail.
170 people showed up at 6am for only 100 slots.
My lucky ticket wasn't so lucky.
I held out hope until the very end.
But they had no love for my sad little 483988, or for Jason's 484062.
So we walked away sad and chicken-less.
We commiserated over our favorite breakfast,
and napped off the sadness on the beach.
Not the same as a hot, noisy, crowed parking lot.
But not too bad either.
We'll get you next time Chick-fil-A.
We love you that much.
Even though you broke our hearts a little bit.
for me it's the super yummy chichen sandwich. we drive all the way to the next town over to get our fix.
ReplyDeletehave fun tonight! after all...everyone loves a camp-out in a parking lot, ya know. especially one that smells as good a cfa does!
I'm with you girl. We showed up 11am the day beore in lexington, ky and we missed it by 2 people.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I have a small give away on my blog for the moms of LITTLE GIRLS

I love CFA too. I have a piece of facebook flair with a picture of an RV parked in front of cfa with the caption "this looks like a good place to camp."
ReplyDeleteI too love me some CFA. Unfortunately I haven't had any in over 6 years, since we left the East Coast:(. Hurry CFA!! Come to WA!!
ReplyDeleteyou are a scream!!!! We are not so lucky to have Chicken-fil-A here in Aussie land!!
ReplyDeletesadness!!!
ReplyDeletemy parents own a chick-fil-a and i missed it more than my mom's cooking while i was away at college in the land of no chick-fil-as (shhh...don't tell momma that!). i will love it even more when the spicy chicken sandwich officially comes out next week! whohoo!!!
no worries, my friend!
ReplyDeletechick-fil-a is the real loser missing out on the likes of you & yours!
i'm so glad you guys turned the night, or more like the morning, into something fun.
ReplyDeletei wanted to camp out but figured being 32 weeks pregnant wouldn't fly too well. plus, i figured there'd be a big turnout. don't worry. chick-fil-a is finally hitting the west coast and more will open. there is one opening in mira mesa in late june! :) glad you and your hubby enjoyed some quality time together anyway.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm not a Christian, but I am totally lost here. They only serve the first 100 people to arrive and then they close? What's going on here?
ReplyDeleteAren't we just so glad to have them close by FINALLY!?
ReplyDeleteI love chick-fil-a. But I don't love that they didn't pick your #. If only they knew you'd write this post...
ReplyDeleteI love this post. You are awesome.
ReplyDeletemy husband and i are huge first 100 fans! i think he's been to 9 so far, and i've been to maybe 4....SO much free chicken! they've started to fill up insanely early and raffle off spots here too. a bit of a bummer, but i still love it!

My rear end is in your picture! We were so close in line and I didn't even know it until the very end and it was too late and I was too chicken. I kept saying to my friend - I think that's her! And she kept saying - Go say hi! And I kept saying - I'm too scared. I'm lame. I'm so sad you didn't get picked and we didn't sleep under the stars together.
ReplyDeleteI saw the crazy camp-out city in the parking lot as I drove by to something else. Even though I'd been considering camping out myself (we LOVE Chik-fil-a), I couldn't work out childcare!--maybe that's a good thing!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a year already? Or do they do this more then once a year? So sad you didn't get picked :( But, Cafe Rio and sitting on the beach with that fabulous blanket does sound like an almost second best.
ReplyDeletesorry you didn't win your chicken for a year. And, I have never been to Chick-fil-A. WE dont have them here in Nor Cal. Boo!
ReplyDeleteTim Hawkins ROCKS! We have two of his DVD's. LOL.
ReplyDeleteChick-fil-A...never had any. Guess I should give it a try, huh!? hahahaha. Good luck for next time!!
