I came home for Thanksgiving on Wednesday. The trip usually takes 5 hours. Here is the day:
10am - i leave my apartment
10:30 - arrive at the TimeSucker's apartment (the agreed upon time to leave)
10:50 - leave the TimeSucker's apartment
11am - get directions to TimeSucker's friend's house that is "on the way" whom we are going to visit "for a few minutes"
noon - drive SOUTH of atlanta & eventually arrive at said friend's house
2pm - leave friend's house after being mauled by a very smelly dog & drive back to where we started 3 hours ago
4pm - still sitting in traffic about 20 miles outside of atlanta due to the holiday rush & an accident. ponder on how if i had left the TimeSucker in atlanta i would have gone home on tuesday & avoided all this
4:05pm - restrain from swearing & possibly physical abuse
5pm - get to east georgia & go shopping at the outlets to buy Christmas presents (and regain some sanity. ahhh, retail therapy, how i love you)
6pm - finally make it out of georgia about the time i'd told my mom i'd arrive in k-town
8pm - call ChurchGirl & hang up so she'll call me back to avoid a horrible conversation with someone that I am very tempted to leave in the mountains of North Carolina. he could probably find his way back to atlanta eventually
10pm - arrive at my house, 12 hours after i'd left my apartment
lesson learned: Never, under any circumstances, feel sorry enough for someone to invite them to your house for Thanksgiving. Particularly if they annoy the crap out of you.

for some strange reason, i think i may be able to guess whom timesucker is....and if it isn't, i could at least see it being them.
Wow...that is an important lesson. I'll just take your word for it!
Some times I'm a time sucker or time-impaired, but NEVER to that degree...YIKES!
At least it leaves us with an entertaining blog, as well as an entertaining phone call. =)
oh, yes, wes, you are correct. how did you ever guess?
