"Life is a journey, not a destination."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1. She will be the one driving
2. I will be riding shotgun
3. We will probably get lost
And that is where we found ourselves tonight, at 9:30, after dropping off a friend at home. Lost.
We drove into the city today, to go shopping and visit a few friends. After hours and hours of fun, we decided to run through a McDonald's drive-thru before heading home.
That was our first mistake. McDonald's.
In our defense, neither of us had ever really been to that part of the city before. Our friend directed us as to how to get back on the main--and more familiar--road before we parted ways, but that didn't really help us when we came out the drive-thru into a massive parking lot with virtually no sense of direction whatsoever.
Leave it to us to get lost in a parking lot.
Instead of panicking, though, or debating routes and looking up the directions to where we wanted to go, we started laughing. And by laughing, I mean tears-in-your-eyes, exploding-bladder-inducing, breathless-and-shaking laughing.
That is by far my favourite kind of laughter. It's the kind of laughter that lingers; that still has you giggling to yourself a good half hour later (as we were).
Moments like these are definitely embarrassing, but they make for good stories to tell.
They also give me something to blog about.
Until later,
- Justyne
