PLEASE Tell Me I'm Lost...

So, I have been begging Mike for over a year now for Botox. "Your too young for Botox", "Your only 31", "You don't need it"....Yea Yea. I heard it all, but I still wanted it. You know how a girl's mind works, once we find something we dislike about ourselves it's all we thing about. We CAN'T just over look it! Finally, Mike gave in and let me get it!! I was so excited I made my appointment right away. The day, today, slowly approaches!
I drop Gray off at Mimi's and enter the address into the GPS. I'm set and ready to go, giddy with excitement to finally receive a treatment I've wanted for so long. Without really thinking about it I scheduled my appointment at 11:45 in Springdale and anyone who lives around here knows how horrible the traffic is during lunch hour in NWA. Traffic was causing me to run late so I nicely call the Practice and explain to them that I did not realize their office was so far out and I would be about 5 minutes late. No problem, they would see me when I got there.
Ok! Did you notice I said "I did not realize their office was so far out"? The address was on Huntsville in Springdale. I assumed it would be around 71B where other offices are. NO!! I was driving past the rodeo fair ground and beyond. When I approached the address it was an old UPS warehouse. You've got to be kidding me!! I double check the address and I was at the right place. Shocked, terrified and starting to feel like I was about to enter my own horror movie I called the practice. (At this point I had decided I would NOT be showing up for my appointment if they were in fact in this warehouse)
"PLEASE Tell me I'm lost and your practice is not located in an old UPS warehouse!!!" I say when they answer. The lady laughs and states that I am in fact lost and gives me the correct directions. Thank goodness! I was still able to get my treatment even though I was about 45 minutes late and everyone at the practice enjoyed my story. I have to say, it is funnier now as I write about it then when it was actually happening!!
