I am not good with following directions...

I had another adventure today...and it's the best one yet.

It's Christmas time, and the girls and I are really excited to get our Christmas tree up and decorated. All of our families (especially mine) set up their tree early, and Christmas is always a time we look forward to that. So in the spirit of giving a little early, my parents decided they were going to buy our Christmas tree. So tonight they came to Charlotte and we headed to Home Depot by the University. We had already picked out the tree, so we were just going to purchase it tonight. So we arrived, only to find out that they don't have stock of the tree that we wanted, but that they were getting five in on the truck coming in next week. For the record, I work in retail, and I know what it's going to be like the weekend and week after of thanksgiving, there is no way I'm coming back next week to find a tree....it will be gone before I get there. So we ask them to check the store on Albemarle Road and see if they have any. Good news is, they have seven. So my parents go back home, and my friend Matt and I set out on 485 to go to the Albemarle Road store. So I apparently didn't listen to my father's directions well because I went a good 20 minutes past my exit. So by that time we were both starving, so we pulled over at an exit and ate some dinner, 30 mins later, we started heading back to the 24/27 exit. So we find it, and we find the store. No lie, we turn into the parking lot, and we both say, are they still open? We didn't even finish the statement, and they turned the light out on the sign. Talk about timing and luck. So I will wake up early in the morning to go to Home Depot on Albemarle Road to get the perfect Christmas Tree for the girls of 204. Pray I don't miss the exit this time:)
I am so ready for thanksgiving! My momma is cooking, and the grandparents are coming over to the house. My friends will all be together for some time, I'll be able to see some buddies whom I haven't seen since we moved away to go to school. Needless to say, I'm ready for Thanksgiving, so momma, you better start cooking a lot, because I'm ready to eat some good home cooking.
