This is one of those stories that's really REALLY irritating and not funny at all at the time... and then later it's kind of funny... but only a little. So being the kind soul that I am, I offered to deliver a CD from my work to a customer who I thought lived close to us. I talked to her on the phone and she said she lived in Layton. I said, "Hey I live in Bountiful, I could just bring it to you if you'd like?" She asked me if I was sure and then thanked me. She gave me directions and I said, "Oh yeah, I know right where that is. I'll bring it by tonight." So I drove home and got off on the highway 89 exit like she had told me. ...okay this is going to turn into a way longer story than it needs to be. Long story short, I thought Layton was right next to us... turns out this lady's house was like 25 miles further than I thought. When I realized what I had done, and that there were 2 different highway 89 exits I was kind of irritated. Then it got worse when I decided I'd go anyway. I spent about an extra hour driving around looking for this address at 10:00 at night. I drove 47 miles out of my way and I didn't even find the stinkin house!! I finally gave up and came home. Eric gave me a big hug and helped me to see that it really was pretty funny in spite of me being mad about wasting gas. The worst part is, Eric looked up where I had been on Mapquest when I got home and when I finally turned around to come home I was less than a mile away from the lady's house. Hmph. Well, Eric delivered her CD to her the next day on his way to school, so I guess it worked out. Haha.
and did he do the Merrill thing and point out if only he'd been driving? ;) hahaha This is why it's great to come home to a comforting face, huh? :D
