Last Thursday we finally took a trip to Golden Corral in Freehold, New Jersey. Now, if you have never heard of same, Golden Corral is a chain of family oriented reasonably priced (depending on the location around $14-$15 for adults). It is not a destination restaurant. But, there are none near us and the two restaurants here from a similar chain closed over a year ago - and this is one of the two closest ones to us. This is not a cheap trip - in addition to gas it is over $20 in tolls round trip.
I am not sure if I posted about this when it happened, but we tried this trip in July and ended up spending 5 and half hours going and coming with no dinner. We had gotten stuck in traffic and the anticipated hour and forty minute trip (per the GPS with traffic considered) ran a bit more - we had been driving for 4 hours and for the last two hours had steadily been half an hour from the end of our trip sitting in traffic. What finally turned us around and sent us home was the fact that by the time we got to the restaurant it might be too late for dinner and there were warnings that the occasional showers due late night, were now dangerous thunderstorms, hitting within the hour with two tornadoes so far and we were sitting in traffic in the open. So we had worked our way off the road and turned around and spent an hour and a half driving home.
What does this have to do with organizing? Well, in addition to having to organize everything for the week around this day and have to organize for the trip (we even over pack for a day trip), it is a loss of an afternoon and evening when other things could have been done.
I normally do our banking on Fridays - and we were short on money to pay bills and had to make a withdrawal from husband’s IRA accounts (hopefully the last of the year as it is the last of the planned money from same for the year). But, in anticipation of going away - and in need of some pocket cash for the trip, we went to the banks on Wednesday. I paid the bills on Wednesday night so they could go out on Friday (this was all the bills that were due by Sunday of the following week as I pay all bills a week before they are due). I did whatever else was sitting around waiting to be done.
I plugged in my other (smaller and a tiny bit newer) laptop to charge in the kitchen before going to bed on Wednesday night. I had our “travel zipper bag” downstairs with the laptop - this has a spare wallet with spare cash and a credit card (and some affinity cards for restaurants etc when we travel - other cards are in the car and the RV) and I add our checkbook just before a trip. Our logic in having extra cash and a credit card that neither of us is carrying is that if we were robbed or other similar problem, we would have cash and a credit card to use. I packed my old Palm Centro in its case - spare info of what is in my cell phone and easy to reach in the car to keep track of tolls paid, etc. We put out rain jackets and sweatshirts - weather was iffy. This way when we woke up Thursday all we needed to take was together in the kitchen on our way out.
Last time we had left after lunch at 3 pm and thinking that was the problem as we were traveling during evening rush hour, we planned - well I planned and he agreed - to eat lunch along the way. I was pretty sure that there were a couple of Wendys in NJ and I knew about one in Staten Island. So we set off.
In New Jersey I did see a Wendys on the road - just as we passed it. We kept going. We had a couple of basically time wasting stops along the way as we would (hopefully) otherwise be at the restaurant for dinner about 2 or 3 hours too early. Before I knew it we were at the first place to stop - there was a Costco with a gas station there and a Hobby Lobby craft store (we just got got our first Hobby Lobby here so that is still a place to stop for us). Since we had not eaten we went to Costco and had lunch and took a quick walk through - looking for some items they no longer have at the ones near us and didn’t have here either. We then gassed up the car (in New Jersey no self-serve allowed) and drove to the Hobby Lobby.
Now, the Costco is on the north bound side of the road we were headed south on. It is north of an intersection and the Hobby Lobby is on the same side, but south of the same intersection. How the roads in New Jersey are designed, one can generally not make a left turn on a main road. One gets off the right on an angle or something known locally as a “dog leg” and then turns left on the cross road to do so. So, to get back to Hobby Lobby we had to go out on the southbound main road, turn right at the next corner, then attempt to turn left onto the cross road - a four lane road with no additional traffic light to help, which we were able to do only by the kindness of a stranger who let us in. Then we had to turn left from that road onto the main road. We then had to turn right off the main road at the same place we did before and turn left - but into the right lanes - of the cross road we had turned left onto, to get to Costco. We gave up on trying to turn left onto the crossroad and turned right, then went up about a block, turned left into a parking lot, drove around in the parking lot, drove back out and turned right onto the same crossroad. We drove across the main road and about a block up turned right into the shopping center that Hobby Lobby is in. This trip from Costco to what is more or less the next shopping center took us 15-20 minutes.
We walked around awhile in Hobby Lobby - I went through their large Christmas department looking. No buying done though. And then we left. Now, to get back on the road we had to head back to the exit that led back to that same cross road and turn left onto the cross road - luckily there was a traffic light to help - and then turn left from same onto the main road headed south again.
So basically we drove in 3 circles to go to these two stores.
Our next planned stop was a Walmart we knew about. (We come to this Golden Corral for dinner about twice a year when we go to the woodworking show and the quilt show we go to in late February and early March so we know what is around it and on the road to it. These two attempts were our only ones to go there just for dinner - I guess I cook that badly that he wanted to go.) The jeans that husband wears has been discontinued at our local Walmarts and we hoped that other ones might still have them, plus some other items we had not found in our local ones, as well as it is a larger one than the ones near us. It is off to the west of the road we were on. I knew how to get there by turning right just before we got to the restaurant, but found a shortcut to it by following the signs and, I admit, the GPS. Nothing there we were looking for, but husband did find a DVD to buy. By the time we were done it was getting late to go to dinner so we hurried off after buying the DVD.
Yes, we made it the Golden Corral. He was so happy. I don’t particularly like the chain, but he does. Dinner and then we drove home. Of course to head back north we had to drive south, turn right onto a cross road, then turn left on the cross road and then turn left onto the main road north.
Now all the time we are driving and going places, my mind was thinking “I could be cleaning the bathrooms.” “I could be scanning the magazine articles.” “I could be doing laundry.” and so on. But his happiness at having the meal was worth the trip. Then again, when we got home he told me - “Next time I say I want to go to dinner there, tell me I want to go to dinner at the Casino in Connecticut instead.”
THOUGHT OF THE WEEK -
Sometimes time wasted is worth it if it gives happiness to someone else or to you.

TREADING WATER - A 5 HOUR TRIP TO NOWHERE, AND TRYING TO CATCH UP
I find that my time is being diverted and I don’t have even the limited time I had before to get things done.
I have managed to get the contacts in my old cell phone transferred to my new one through H and part of I (plus of course the “must put in right away” ones I put in first). I have skipped some as I really don’t know if I should bother putting in information about people we have not had contact with in some years - I am not getting rid of them, but just not copying them forward into the new phone. After I finally deal with the transferring into the new phone, I will go back and compare what I did not transfer - just in case I change my mind about whether they are needed in the new phone - and I will make a new category in my computer Organizer “not transferred” and mark them as such so I will know which ones were never transferred forward. When I say “part of I” I was working on this laptop (the one husband thinks I really should get rid of) and the computer or my browser crashed mid entry for IRS - remember I am an accountant, this is a lot of phone numbers and other contact info for me, more than for most people, if they even have it as a contact. I am not sure if what I entered for it will be there when I go back or if I will have to start over on the IRS entry. (If you are outside the U.S. - IRS is Internal Revenue Service, our Federal government tax collection service.)
Remember last week we did not go to a quilt show and a fiber show out of state? I thought - yippee more time to catch up and work on my cell phone transfer. NO!
Husband had been looking forward to the trip - and was upset that we were not able to go. Thursday we had lunch in Wendys (something we do almost every day - or way too often) and I noticed him doing something on his cell phone. He looked at me and told me that he had checked on the drive to Freehold, NJ in “real time” on his GPS and instead of an hour and a half (which in theory it should be), it was only slightly longer - an hour and 45 minutes - we could go to Golden Corral for dinner.
Now, for those who have not heard of same, this is not a destination restaurant. It is a family buffet chain, the sort of place that if had one locally we would go to for dinner once a week. But we don’t have one locally. The nearest two are this one in New Jersey and one in Connecticut which is about the same time to get from here, but is new and needs to settle in and get better before we go there. We have eaten at the one in New Jersey several times when we are vaguely in the area of it - quilt shows, woodworking shows and embroidery exhibitions in New Jersey find us going there for dinner. We have also been to several other of their restaurants when traveling. Husband likes the chain much more than I do, but that it because he likes the assortment of food and I find it hard to find something I like.
I sighed, and said Okay. So, without our usual over planning before we go anywhere, we set off at 3 pm. We only lost about 15 minutes on the road to the bridge which we normally get stuck on. Not bad. When we leave the island we live on (which is such a large land mass that we forget it is a island unless we are going somewhere or there is a problem) we have to go over a large toll bridge to a different island (which is part of New York City) and then over another toll bridge to New Jersey (and the mainland of the U.S. - although we rarely think of the fact that we are doing that). No problem getting over the first bridge. Doing well!
The second island (Staten Island for those who know it) should take maybe 20 minutes to drive across. The traffic was so bad that we inched along. The ultra helpful GPS told us that there were delays (less time they actually ended up being), but this was still the best route, so I did not suggest getting off the Interstate to take any of the alternate ways I know to go. It took about an hour to get across and down the island. Now, since husband had not mentioned this until after we had lunch, I did not know to limit what I drank and had 2 sodas (free refills). I had used the ladies room at Wendys before we left and an hour and a half is not too long to wait - and there are numerous places along the road we were to go in New Jersey to make a stop - and since we would be at the restaurant too early - we would be looking to stop at some place or another- get gas for the car at a Costco we know, go to Walmart or a Hobby Lobby, etc. - so I was not concerned. However, by the time we were leaving Staten Island we had been driving for just over 2 hours and I was desperate. Then again, the time of arrival was only half an hour more and we could easily stop along the way. But looking at the huge red spots left on the map, I figured we had to stop - but where, there are no service areas. I remembered that when we come home on this road we have a seen a Wendys on the opposite side (the coming home side) of this road and estimated which exit we would have to get off the road to get to it. We get off the road and head to the other side of the road - husband misunderstand what I tell him, and am I do not see where to turn to get to the Wendys (it is along a one way service road and we have to go the opposite way) and he continues on the road he turned onto. There are only local houses and businesses - no place to stop and no place to turn around (and that is with our little car - good thing we were not in our RV). We manage to turn around and head back and I see a sign to turn for the Wendys. He drives there, we find it among the shops in the shopping center, I run in - ahhh - and run back out so we can continue. (This stop took another 10 minutes.)
Over the bridge into New Jersey and we drive a short bit and then get off onto the road we need to take south to the restaurant. We come to a dead stop. The main road (the Garden State Parkway) in the area, the second biggest north-south road in New Jersey, has had an accident and even though it has 2 roadways - local and express is so backup that the traffic has spilled over onto the road we need to take which sort of parallels the Parkway. The GPS time of arrival is still half an hour later than it is. By 7 pm (that is around 2 hours on this road) we have gone maybe 5 miles - we have not finished circling under the road we got off to get onto this road. Guess what - the GPS says the time of arrival is half an hour and the time keeps changing to remain half an hour later than it is. We are not even sure that we will get to the restaurant in time to be able to eat there. We are sitting in traffic which moves by (literal) inches. We have been on the road for four hours for an hour and a half trip. We have paid over $20 tolls, plus used a good deal of gas. We are not sure what to do.
When husband checked on his cell phone before we left, there were to be scattered thunderstorms after midnight. As we sit trying to decide what to do the weather report changes to dangerous thunderstorms will be where we are in the next hour and there have been 2 tornadoes (not common here) from the storm - we are sitting with no place for cover - other than the road we are finally circling under. The answer become obvious. We manage to work our way to the right and turn right to turn left (a peculiarity of New Jersey). We head back on a open road.
As we get close to home it is around 8 pm. (The hour it should have taken us to get to where we were instead of the 4 hours it took to get there.) I start thinking about what to do for dinner. It is too late to go to Ikea or the Asian buffet we go to. I have nothing defrosted for dinner. We could go to Wendys (again) for dinner - but really after all this? I decide that Chinese takeout is the best answer. We don’t take out from same often as husband cannot eat rice, but we do sometimes (we used to take out from this place a lot). After a quick discussion, I go to call them and give them our order as they close at 8:30 and we cannot walk in and order then, but if I call, they will have the order ready when we get there.
Uh oh! Since we don’t call them often they are not a high priority to transfer to the new phone. (In the old days when we got a phone which allowed phone numbers to be stored in it - I would put in our immediate families and this place, but it no longer is a priority.) I was about to panic and then remembered my phone has Internet. I looked them up and there was even a place to click to call them - but what if it is wrong place with the same name (there seemed to be several)? I was so relieved to hear the wife owner’s voice. I ordered and we had dinner that night.
So basically we killed an entire afternoon, the money paid for tolls, and the gas used, for a 5 and half hour ride that was mostly sitting still in traffic.
Since then I have managed to catch up on things a bit. I have been working on transferring contacts into the phone (as I said at the beginning).
I needed to write two things for my embroidery chapter that I never seem to get to. I put out a midsummer verison of our newsletter, which I am also in the middle of redoing for the fall in a new format. We will be working on a project at our September meeting and the members need to do some work before, so I had photos of what needs to be done in advance, information that our yearbook will be out soon, and an overview of our upcoming meeting year (September thorugh June). That went out on time today. We put out what is called our yearbook - it is an overview of the upcoming year’s meetings, list of officers, membership list, etc. When the group was larger it was a lot longer and fancier. My husband made up the version we have been using and updating information in, a few years ago. This year we decided to change it around a little. The chapter president and I went through it after the board meeting last month. I have to get it out to the members as they need to have it before the year starts - and we think we might get back a few members who are on the fence about renewing when they read it. So yesterday I sat and moved around and rewrote the changed areas and sent it to the chapter pres for review. I still have to write up this year’s meetings programs and update the membership list, but those are basically just information updates, not major changes. I am waiting for her to have a chance to look at what I sent and deal with some questions I sent with it about the changes made. I still have to also update our website with our new meeting schedule and then work on the September newsletter which will be the first one in the new format. (The newsletter is emailed to members, newsletter editors of our region and the region director and to some prospective members.)
Today I went to a client for actual work. Luckily all went well there and a problem I anticipated was already resolved. I anticipated a bad, long ride each way as the local commuter train line is running at around 80% of normal trains as work is done, unrelated to the tracks for the commuter line, at the train station it goes to in Manhattan. People have been advised to take alternate ways to go to Manhattan - including some ferries which were set up for this and expresses buses - also set up just to deal with this. (Much fewer people have used either of these methods than it was thought would.) They are also running trains to alternate stations - one in Brooklyn and one in Queens which have subway trains to Manhattan. One thing which concerned me was that the Queens station is adjacent to the subway stop I drive to, and I was concerned that there would be a lack of parking in the garage I use and the subway would be too crowded - luckily there was no problem parking and the subway was as always. I actually got home in considerably less time than usual.
When it came time to do the dishes tonight and then sit down and write this post, husband came down all excited - he had a sale on his Etsy site. So, I first had to go up and help him with the paperwork and getting the package to be sent. So instead of a fairly leisurely chance to write to all of you and then go and “chat” with some needlework friends online - I have been writing this post about an hour later than I planned and the friends may have to wait. There, now, don’t you feel important, writing my blog post, is more important than chatting with friends.
Hey, we may go Pennsylvania this week - Friday or Saturday - if one of the two days it is not raining - what are the chances?
THOUGHT OF THE WEEK -
Well three of them I guess this week.
First - when the GPS says that one will be somewhere in an expected amount of time, but shows huge areas of red - don’t believe it - turn around and save that second bridge’s toll!
Second - there is only so much time in a day, week, etc. One can only fit in what can be done in that time. Don’t get sick - just decide what is the most important to get done and start with that.
Lastly, Always put the Chinese takeout place in the new phone right away. :-)
I have managed to get the contacts in my old cell phone transferred to my new one through H and part of I (plus of course the “must put in right away” ones I put in first).
