It's my former supervisor and friend's birthday tomorrow, but since it will be Valentine's day, we had plans to celebrate it tonight instead. Dinner plans.
I didnt feel good today. Headache, upset stomach and just feeling generally bleh. I told Karine I wasn't going afterall and she begged and annoyed me and urged me to come along every damn minute of our evening at work. So yeah, I went. Cause she made me. But I made her promise we wouldnt stay long. I thought I'd be home by 11h30, max. Marylin called to cancel cause she was feeling sick as well. And Vero cause she's broke. So Karine turned to me and she asked: Its just a dinner, how bad can it be? She should come!
Now... Karine made the reservations to a restaurant she never went to before. I went there before. So I understand why Vero would back out.
-Karine: I wanna eat chicken... 50$ should be enough for both my bf and I right?
-Me: Hum... I'm bringing 100 dollars for me alone, probably
-Karine: What for?
-Me: you reserved there and never went before right?
-Karine: yeah?
-ME: well I went there before... cost me like 60$ just for 2 pina colada and some sort of pasta.
-Karine: What?!!
-Me: yup. Arent you glad that you decided we are going there now? :P
-Karine: No? I don't wanna go, I'm broke!
-Me: I dont wanna go, I'm sick.
So we went there, Karine and her boyfriend and I, and the birthday girl was joining us later, with her fiancé and a couple friends, and her bf had invited her 20 years old son, too. So we had reservations at 9pm, meaning Karine and I didn't have dinner at work, knowing we'd eat later on there. Well... we were hungry. And the birthday girl arrived at 10h15. And her son came in with his new gf around 11. So... we ate pretty late.
Chicken quesadillas entry, then a small pizza and 3 drinks later, a blue rose and a bday card later, I had spent 70 dollars. I dont know how those things happen. But they do. Hum.
The important thing is that my friends were happy and had fun. Who cares that i was bored, tired and sick. At least i got to order a Cosmopolitan and now I know what the deal is with the girls from Sex And The City and this pink drink. Well actually I don't. It's okay but not that awesome.
Came back home and talked with my sweetheart for a little bit, which was the highlight of my day, by far :)
And now off to bed I go.
