Valentines day
One of these years Im going to have a memorable Valentines Day because it was great instead of sucky. Last year it was super memorable because I was happy to finally have someone who wanted to spend time with me on V-day. I was 9 weeks pregnant and Mike had to work. It was a nice gig, free food nice hotel atmosphere. Only the weather was crappy and dangerous to drive in so nobody came out to the reservations they had made. Which meant the band didn't get paid. So we all drove out an hour into bad weather to basicly get a free dinner and listen to the band members play for free. To top it all off that was the time frame where baby didn't like chicken and I got horribly sick. Soooo that sucked majorly. I didn't get to spend any time with Mike at all and got sick out of the deal.
This year... yeah this year sucked really bad too. We were going to try to go see a movie and maybe go out to dinner. No money... o.k. so how about I make homemade lasagna and we watch a movie we downloaded onto the pc. That was the plan. However Mike is supposed to work tonight. His keyboard is broken. Like turns on and doesn't make any noise broken... we're not sure if he can even fix it. So we're trying to rent one. In the same process we have to drop off the other one at a shop to be fixed, pick up the roomate and still be at the music store by 7:30. We get to the music store and after them tellng us that they had an available unit to rent, they didn't have the one we needed that was in our price rande. So I say fine, let me go and see aout renting one for only two days unstead of a week. We can afford that. I go back in and after them telling me that all I needed to rent was a valid PA liscense, they say they can't rent to me because the address that I wrote on the app isn't the same as the one on the liscense. Say what? So did I bring proof of address? Yeah, I keep that on me all the time when I'm driving around doing errands der... So, I say, no of course not. I don't have utility bills, I pay the roomies, I'm not on the lease yet because the landlord lives in DC ad they have to mail it out and then get it back in the mail edited. And my cell phone carrier doesn't bill paper bills anymore. So, I'm screwed. I show them a couple of little $3.00 checks I got for doing a couple surveys online. Has my name on it, has my address on it, will that work? Uhhhh no. So what do I have to do? Bring in a bill, or prove that I have a landline for a phone... Argh! So in other words, we couldn't rent. Mike's ticked off and yelling, not really at me but sorta at me like it's my fault. And why didn't I just write the same address that was on my lisensce? So hen we have to go and get the roomie. Traffic is a beast,they have plans to go out to a bar and battle of the sexes. Finally e get home, and it's 9:00. We spent the better part of the day trying to figure out where we were going to get all the money to rent, where we were going to rent, and then couldn't rent. I was so mindnumbingly upset I just couldn't even do anything really. I took care of my son... Finally at about 10:30 we made some popcorn and ate some oreos and watched not even half on Neverending story. While sitting in chairs starting at a computer screen. By 11:30 we were in bed.
Lame...
All I can hope is that my birthday won't be the same... I really don't think I could handle that too well. I just want to be able to have a nice little party with a few friends. I'm turning 25 for crying out loud. It's a big deal, right? Just please, lt me have some fun...I beginning to think it doesn't exist anymore.
