Hey Ellen, I lived in MA for several years (We just moved back to Maine last

summer) I worked for a company that relocated me there from CO. I worked in

Westford and Marlboro. My brother lives in the North End.

OT: How to ruin a date OR grounds for

divorce

Last night's plans were heavenly!

I washed the car, bought new clothes (even though they didn't fit), took

a

late shower, dropped Jacqui off at my friends house at 4:15 and dh was

ready

to go at 4:30. Right on schedule. We had planned to be out until about

10pm.

We had 5:15 reservations at a place called Olives. An upscale

restaurant at

the Bellagio Hotel on the strip, overlooking the Fountains. The food was

FANTASTIC and I indulged in two Espresso is.....what a great

beginning

to our evening.

We had two tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld at the Colluseum (Celines new

place) for what we thought was 7:30. We took a leisurely walk (even

though

my shoes were KILLING me), from The Bellagio to Caesar's. Dh dropped $5

on

poker and then we decided to go in. We get to the ticket taker, she

scan's

our tickets, has a quizzical look on her face, then says:

THESE TICKETS ARE FOR TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

!!!!!!!

How do you all think things went from there? Do you know how hard it is

for

us to get out ONE night, let alone TWO?

I kept my cool at first but was seething inside. I went to the ladies

room

to call my friend to tell her what happened and that we would be home

soon

to get Jacqui. Luckily she offered to take Jacqui tonite, but I did not

tell dh that.

When I came out he said " Will watch her tomorrow night? " I said

" I

don't know, I guess your going to have to work it out. " He said " Why

does

it all fall on ME? "

WHAT??? WHAT???!!!! Could it be that *I* am the one who always makes

the

plans? Could it be that HE TOLD ME he bought tickets for the 2nd? Then

he

had the audacity to tell me " Well you've been holding the tickets for 2

months " . NO!! Not true. I didn't even LOOK at the tickets. Why should

I?

If I would have questioned the dates, he just would've gotten defensive.

He really doesn't get it. He gave me a fleeting apology later on. I

think

I'll shall make him continue to pay until after tonite.

I grew up and lived in Gloucester, right on the coast. For a while, I had an

ocean view from my bedroom window. *Sigh* I miss it. I'd like to be back

there with my family especially now that we got the diagnosis. I have one

brother in particular who is just GREAT with him when we visit back there,

and since I'm the youngest, there's lots of my nieces and nephews who could

help out too. Oh well, it is what it is. :-)

>>I grew up and lived in Gloucester<< Is that the North Shore by Cape Anne?

Beautiful area. The ocean (water in general) was that the thing I missed the

most when we lived in CO. However the Rocky Mountains are quite nice to see out

your window also. I too am glad we are around family while raising the boys.
