Long Tale of Events

Wednesday night I saw a mouse in my garage. It freaked me out, and I want to kill it, but I don't want to be the one to actually set the trap and then remove the mouse. So, I called Ed (that's the boyfriend), and he said that Friday after work he will come over and set a few traps. YAY!! I can avoid the garage for a couple days. Not a big deal.

Then last night he called and asked if I wanted to go see the movie "Grudge." I guess that's the title. I haven't really seen the ads for it, but he told me it was a scary movie. I have never been to a scary movie in the theater, and I'm not a big fan of scary movies. I begrudgingly said ok. So he says that he will set the traps and then we'll go to the movie and get a bite to eat. All day, I've been thinking about this movie, and trying to reassure myself that maybe it won't be so scary, and I can handle it. More importantly, maybe we're going to the huge outlet mall where there is a Chilis and I can drink margaritas afterwards or beforehand.

Well, at 4:45 (right before Judge Judy), I get a phone call from Ed. He asked how I was feeling and what I was doing. I played it cool, told him I was reading a book and getting ready for JJ. He said 'well, how about if we don't go to the movie tonight. I'm kind of tired, and just want to relax. Maybe you can come over here later.' I told him I'd think about it and I'd talk to him after JJ. Well, I watched JJ and King of Queens and finished my book and then called and said I was going to sit home and read my book. He just said 'fine', and I said I'd talk to him in the morning. Now it's 8:10, I'm bored out of my mind and my phone is off.

So, I got stood up and I just thought I'd share. I will probably go to bed early because it is cold outside and I don't like going anywhere when it's cold. I should go to 7-11 and get some ice cream. That would put me in better spirits, but I sure am disappointed. Doesn't he know his evaluation is coming up in just one short month? The meter for reliability has just gone down another notch.
