Waiting to Hatch

Who Knew There Where Two Pendleton Streets?

So I had an extremely eventful day. And after a half a tank of gas and a really sore calf muscle later, I am finally home. Let me tell you about it.

Stephanie and I decided to go the cheerleading competition at Easley High School and then to the Furman game and then home. Sound complicated? You wouldn't think so. But oh, how it is. So Steph and I are following these mapquest directions and following them very very closely and we were looking for S Pendleton Street and we thought we'd gone too far and were just about to turn around and all of the sudden we found a street sign that said "Pendleton." And so we got really excited that we had figured out where we were going. So we drove up and down Pendleton Street looking and searching for S Pendleton street for probably like 15 or so minutes but of course it seemed like forever. I saw a restaurant that looked really familiar and I realized that my grandmother had taken me there for my birthday one year. And then I looked to my left and saw downtown Greenville. For those of you who don't know Easley High School is not in Greenvill. Obviously it's in Easley! At that point we decided to stop and ask for directions. So we explain our situation to this lady at a gas station attendant and she was like, "Easley High School?! That's in Easley!" And we're thinking, "uh yea, we know that and that's why we're asking directions!" Of course we didn't say that. So she told us to go "that way." Really helpful. But we did end up figuring out where to go and found the Pendleton Street in Easley. So after leaving the cheerleading competition (both squads did awesome!!) we ended up making only 2 wrong turns, but we never completely got lost. So that was an improvement. I keep saying "we" went the wrong way, but I was the one driving, so I guesss it was my fault, but it was quite funny. Then, when leaving Furman, we decided to go to Checkers and I noticed that I knew the person behind me. So right as I was turning into Checkers, I waved to them and then realized that I had just turned into the exit. I was so embarrased, but then as we looked around, there was not entrance! There was just 2 exit signs and no other openings. So, we decided we didn't want to go to Checkers. All and all, it was a very long but good and fun and funny day. And now I'm watching an Andy Griffith marathon (I love it!!!) and enjoying it thouroughly. If only we could still have the simplicities as good ole Mayberry. Well, you all (if there is more than one of you that actually reads this), have a great night! And don't be shy to leave a comment! They brighten my day! Love y'all!
