OT: How to ruin a date OR grounds for divorce

May 3, 2003

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.
