haunted gas stations and ways home...

i have a slightly dysfunctional problem with directons... DaNella says i would get lost in a cardboard box...(which brings up another story) anyway i usually get lost getting somewhere... last night i went with a friend to a bible study. in which i ran out of gas... so i finally found a gas station my friend was like "Hey you got it from here?" Yeah sure i said... just go straight till i see the cvs...
anyway little did i know that gas station was a gas station from a horror movie...
spiders were crawling everywhere!!! it was almost abandoned... and i had this feeling like what the heck am i doing here? SO i called my Lee. ( poor lee he always gets a random phone call in the middle of the night about some crisis im having...)
"Lee" i say ... " im at a haunted gas station and just in case some guy with a chain saw comes out from behind the store i need you to be on the phone so you can know where i am to identify they body..." of course he oblidges...
so i brush away the spiders and webs to slide in my card. (thankfully they werent moths) and i carry on my way...
UNFORTUNATLY...
i had no idea where i was...
yeah
and lee of course cant help cause he is well... not it alabama...
so i start driving...
i pass what i assume now is the road i should have taken
trying to re calcutale my steps... backwards...

if i turned right at the invisible non invisible stop sign drove a longs ways, and left at the visible stop sign... turn right at the light went over the crazy bridge turned left into cvs...

but somehow ended up right at the invisible non invisible stop sign which ill now be turning left at go a long ways...backwards... no wait... visible stop sign is left... or right? i dont see a bridge?!?!!?

so i missed my turn...

and kept driving lee told me to turn around but i think i would get more lost...
so i kept going straight...

Maybe ill recognize something?!?!!?

lee just laughed at me knowing that i was totally and utterly lost...

somehow i ended up behind some plant...
in which lee is yelling turn around...
i was like come on how many plants are there in alabama? seriously...

lo and behold...



i came out at some discount gas station five min from my house...

oh yeah...
the complete oposite side of where i was supposed to be...

sooooo.....

moral of the story...
dont drive with me...



and though i may not know where the roads lead me to and i do not know how to get somewhere God is watching out for me and will make sure i get home ok...

Awww Good Moral... Cept it is safe to drive with you, as long as the passenger knows where they are going.
