yup. our plans were to do pool time. not happening.
after suggesting umpteen things (mini golf, movie, shopping, check out decorations at AKL, etc etc) I finally gave up.
Oh, I forgot the best one. I had read that they had $2 drafts and half price appetizers at House of Blues during happy hour.
Ok, I agree.. let's be depressed.
why do "half glass full" and "half glass empty" people always marry? heck, I'd be content with "ok, the glass is totally empty...let's just try to fill it a bit, what the heck?"
Now, before you all get down on me.... Nebo is the BEST planner in the world!! (love you, honey
) but, sometimes things don't go as planned. and even if Plan B and Plan C won't work... well, then you have to go with, um..WING IT!
we still had my $86 to spend. (the money I won in a football pool, minus the $14 round I bought... yeah , it doesn't cost much to buy a round at a VFW)
I had said,
this is my winnings, to use for whatever I want. maybe we would have met a fun couple at House of Blues, put down a few, got a little silly.
but.. we still had those reservations at Tony's, that we have never eaten at.(it would be out of pocket, if we keep it) we were going to play it by ear. but, since he knew about my winnings, it would come out of that, IF we do it.
A word to the wise:... if you ever win any money,... keep it to yourself!
wish I had. but, NOOOO, that next day after work I was about to burst!!
"honey.. guess what???! I won 2 squares on the football pool at work!!... I don't know what I'm going to use it for, but it's going to be for something EXTRA on the trip!"
bad move. spouse already knows now that the money is there. had I kept it to myself, it would have gone like THIS:
nebo:
"oh, man, it's cold, nothing to do. no pool time., spent more than we expected last night. too cold for mini golf. rats!"
ME:
guess what!!! I have $86 you didn't know about! I won a pool at the Vee! (VFW). we will make up fuzzy cups, browse World of Disney a bit, then go see Unstoppable, then go to happy hour at the House of Blues! not the day we had planned, but it'll be fun! and you weren't counting on the money, anyway!"
sigh. live and learn
