I would really love to be one of those people who always knows where they are going, what time they have to be there, and what to bring. Unfortunately, no matter the amount of preparation, God humbles me every time.
Before school last year, my sister Caitlin and I wanted to attend our Penn State local chapter before-school picnic! We were nervous about going but built up the courage and ventured to the picnic together. We decided to do a drive-by first to see how many people we there and through that, it looked bleak. Hardly any cars. We decided to stop and go inside the Elk Club it was at and after wandering around for a solid 15 minutes, figured it had been cancelled. Sad day.
Then I decided to check out the email again they sent us and realized the picnic was the next day... light bulb moment of realization. Woops.
And this happens way more than it should.
A few weeks later Caitlin and I were at a concert for Gavin Degraw and decided to look up other concerts that were happening that year. We saw Brian Regan was coming to State Theater and immediately bought tickets on my phone! SO EXCITED. The day of the show her and I got all pretty and walked to State Theater to see people pouring out of the theater. We came to the conclusion that maybe there was two shows in a row... but something was off. Again, being the brilliant people we are, we more closely examined our tickets. They were for the State Theater. In New Jersey.
Now to my morning.
I tweet my camp all excited I'm coming! They favorite it and I travel the mere 15 minutes to camp (something I planned so I wouldn't have to worry about traffic). I arrive at camp at 8 am and the gate is closed. Not good. I use my brain and modern technology and tweet at the camp that I'm at the gate! They tweet back I don't have to be there til noon.
Oi vey.
My life. I could have sworn I read I had to be there by 9 am! I must have made that up in my mind. Bah. Oh well.
Gave me time to right this blog post. That's a plus.
