Noble out West and he said he did so I trusted that he knew where he was going.\u00c2\u00a0 On the way, I call my friend.\u00c2\u00a0 Her husband answered.\u00c2\u00a0 I guess it was her home phone number that I had.\u00c2\u00a0 He said she wasn&#8217;t home because she was meeting one of her friends from school.\u00c2\u00a0 This was good sign.\u00c2\u00a0 It meant that she went to the bookstore.\u00c2\u00a0 I was worried that she had dropped the class because she didn&#8217;t show up last Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway, we get off on Dugan and it suddenly dawns on Brian that he was going to Best Buy.\u00c2\u00a0 I guess he had Best Buy on the brain instead of Barnes &#038; Noble.\u00c2\u00a0 He&#8217;s like, &#8220;It&#8217;s okay we can get back on the highway.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We are running very, very late but I do my best to remain calm.\u00c2\u00a0 Finally he takes me to New Market Square.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m like, &#8220;What the fuck?!\u00c2\u00a0 There&#8217;s no Barnes &#038; Noble here?!\u00c2\u00a0 This is Borders!&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 At this point, I&#8217;m flipping out because it&#8217;s 3:30 PM and we don&#8217;t know where the fuck we are.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m this close to crying.\u00c2\u00a0 I get frustrated really easily, as you can probably already tell.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m thinking, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe this is happening to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I called Jen&#8217;s husband again.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m like, &#8220;Did she tell you where she was going?\u00c2\u00a0 Did she go to Borders or Barnes &#038; Noble?&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 He&#8217;s like, &#8220;She didn&#8217;t say.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 He has no clue where the Barnes &#038; Noble is on the West side so no help there but he did give me her cellphone number which I didn&#8217;t previously have.\u00c2\u00a0 So that was really good.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Brian has called information to ask for the address of the Barnes &#038; Noble in West Wichita.\u00c2\u00a0 Come to find out, there isn&#8217;t one.\u00c2\u00a0 At the same time that this is going on I&#8217;m calling Jen.\u00c2\u00a0 She confirms that she is indeed at Borders.\u00c2\u00a0 Sigh of relief.\u00c2\u00a0 Great, we are at the right place.\u00c2\u00a0 Thank the Lord!<\/p>\n<p>We do our thing there and we get done around 4:45 PM.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m starving and want to go somewhere to eat.\u00c2\u00a0 We had full intention of going to Philippine Grille until Brian pointed out what time it was.\u00c2\u00a0 And I had promised both Henry (Brian&#8217;s boss) and Ashley that I would meet them for racquetball at 5:00 PM.\u00c2\u00a0 So now dinner is scratched and I&#8217;m changing into workout shorts while Brian is driving.\u00c2\u00a0 We get to the Y around 5:10 PM.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian just dropped me off.\u00c2\u00a0 He uses every excuse not to play these days.\u00c2\u00a0 But that&#8217;s cool because Henry and Deb came so we got to play doubles with them.\u00c2\u00a0 It was fun.<\/p>\n<p>We got done at 7:00 PM and promptly went to Chipotle to pig out.\u00c2\u00a0 Now I&#8217;m home and I&#8217;m sleepy.\u00c2\u00a0 I don&#8217;t feel like doing homework so I&#8217;m blogging.\u00c2\u00a0 Yikes!<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;m going to turn in early tonight.\u00c2\u00a0 Have a good evening ya&#8217;ll!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00c2\u00a0 Healing Waters&#8217;
