I had an Enrichment Committee meeting tonight, sounds normal right? No, not normal, this thought caused my great stress. Why you may ask? I've never been to this girls "condo", and I have no frickin' clue where it is. I've seriously been dreading today because of this single fact. I started thinking, maybe I'll get sick, maybe I'll conveniently forget, maybe...maybe....maybe. You should be most proud that I did not chicken out, and began doing great research in order to find where this random condo might be. I called the girl, of course, to ask directions, but she didn't call me back until an hour before, so yes, I was panicking! I googled it, couldn't find it, googled some more, still couldn't find it.
Yes, she did finally call me, as afore mentioned. The directions she gives me are CRAP, yeah, I don't really understand a thing she tells me, but I confidently say, "Oh yes....yes....yes...ok....great. Alright then, thanks!" I hang up the phone and flip out. Matt of course doesn't know where this place is either. Great help he is! Then it hits me DUH, I have GPS in my car, hallelujah, thank the Lord. Now I now that this place is called Aspen Court. I program the address into my nifty little machine, and presto chango, it started directing me there. Sadly, it's only like 2 minutes from my apartment. Yes people, I am slightly challenged. Now as I'm turning onto the correct street my car announces, "Destination". What? Huh? Where? I don't see an %$&# condos. Lucky for me there weren't many cars around because I was driving like an extremely challenged person. I flipped around at least a bazillion times
I finally turn into some parking space of what I think might, I did say might, be the correct place. Only there's no blasted signs, NO anything! Well, just my luck, this parking area is already full, and there's no place to turn around. I have to drive in reverse, and back up onto a busy street to turn around. AHH!! I'm really starting to go officially insane because it is past 6:30 and I hate, absolutely detest being late to anything. I call the girl, and she tells me that I'm at the right place, only there's no parking right now, so park on the street. Alright then, thanks for the info.
Now the trick is to find the right building. Good timing gets me there at the same time as 2 other ladies. The funny thing is they seem as clueless as me, makes me feel slightly better, though I decide not to give them the details of my insaneness. We walk around all over, I swear to every building possible before we find it. Sheesh!! And to make a happy story have the happy ending, the meeting lasted 2 hours. I'm not a fan of meetings. Get to the point and get me outta there. Whew! I need a nap after this endeavor.

I can't stand bad directions. I hate not knowing where I'm going. I always drive to where it is two days before said meeting, appointment, ect.... I'm a touch freakish myself on being late. growing up five mins early was late. Sorry it was so rough!
Uggggh, I HATE long meetings, they are the worst. Sorry you had such a rough time.
I am sorry that happened to you. I understand the meeting thing. That is about how long my visiting teaching goes with the girl I go with. Awefull! Hope you have a better night.
I hate long meetings and I hate feeling lost too (which seems to come easily to me, I'm afraid!) -- sorry about your frustrating evening. Hopefully today was better!
hee hee--ok, I only laughed a little. Holy crap, though, who wants to spend two freakin hours at a meeting? Not I. But, I am right there with you--directions are SO not my thing. I am destination challenged.
geez louise. next time can't y'all meet at the church? mercy. so...what did you guys discuss? as an enrichment leader, i need ideas!!! hook me up, will you? :)
The up and coming one we're doing emergency preparedness. Great idea, only it doesn't take 2 hours to talk about it! In the past we've talked about a super Saturday type of things with crafts and such (those are my fav). Sadly I don't have many suggestions yet since we only talked about one thing for 2 hours.
