Stomped! On. :o(

Well, I was supposed to go to Stomp! Last night but I got a last minute email Thursday morning from my date saying that she couldn't make it. She of course offered the standard excuse "couldn't find a baby sitter" but I'm not so sure I believe it. I just happened to notice that earlier in the week in her twitter timeline, she had mentioned getting a new boyfriend the previous weekend. Yup, made the date with me last week, then went partying with another friend on the weekend and they hooked up.

No big deal really except I was expecting her to cancel sooner when her priorities changed. So I made an inquiry on Monday "Hey still looking forward to seeing stomp on Friday?". "Yup can't wait". Huh. Go figure. I thought for sure I was giving her an out so she could say something like "You know what, things have changed for me and I can't go anymore". No. I get the - "Yup, I can't wait" response.

If she would have cancelled on Monday at least I would have had more time to find another date or at least sell the tickets (which were just a smidge over $175 by the way). Nope. Instead I'm scrambling last minute on Thursday trying to find someone to go with me or at least sell the tickets. I'm practically begging my friends to help me out and in the end I had to drop the price just to make it attractive enough for a friend to take them off my hands. At least I sold them.

The funny thing is that this is the second time she stood me up. Well you know what they say. Fool me once - shame on you. Fool me twice - shame on me. I won't make that mistake with her a third time.

Happy Birthday M

I'm not sure if you still read my blog or not but Happy Birthday M!  Today is Nov 22 and I was just reflecting how much fun we had on your birthday when we first met a few years ago.  I had a great time at the Loose Moose and think about it whenever I pass by there. :o)  This Friday I'm heading out to see Stomp again and can't help but think how you, S and myself had such a good time when we went to see it the last time.  :o)  Anyway... Happy Birthday and congratulations on another successful lap around the sun!

A night out at the Q

So I was trying on some of my "skinny" clothes the other day and found some stuff that I haven't seen in a while.  How do you like the Dragon shirt I'm wearing?  I bought that on a business trip to New Jersey a bunch of years ago.  When I picked up this shirt I also bought a cool looking spider-man shirt similar in style.  The best part about rediscovering these clothes was the jeans I tried on.  I was able to do up the 34's I had - mind you just barely, but still I was pretty happy at how close I am to fitting them again.  It has definitely motivated me to keep going on the workout plan! :o)
