Change of Plans

The original plans for last night:

  • Dinner with Danny's mother after work. Danny was supposed to work until 7, and then go over to his parent's house to wait until I got done work at 7:30. Then we'd determine a place to eat and go.

The mid-day change of plans:

  • My mom is in town for the night, and asks if she can take us out to dinner. I tell her that we're eating with Danny's mom, but that she would love to have her join. 
  • Plan to pick mom up at her hotel after work and then go over to Danny's parents' house and meet up with them.
And then here's what really happened...

  • Got out of work and noticed I had 6 texts messages from Danny. He has to stay and work until midnight, so he's not eating with us. Also, his car is dead.
  • Go meet mom at her hotel. We're hungry, so we're still going to eat. Decide we'll still have Danny's mother come eat with us, because she's waited til late to eat. 
  • Go pick up Danny's mom. My mom REALLY wants to go to the Japanese restaurant that I look her to before. Danny's mom agrees, even though she doesn't like Japanese.
  • Order our food. Mom and I get the same thing we got last time (Spicy Tuna Tempura Rolls, Volcano Rolls, and Hibachi Scallops. - We share.) Also, Mom gets a Margarita and I get a Pina Colada.
  • Danny's mom takes forever to order, changes her mind 50 times, and confuses the heck out our poor Asian waitress. I had to repeat everything she said to the waitress in a clear, straight-forward way. Poor girl.
  • Eat our delicious meal. Bring a whole lot of it home. 
  • Mothers argue over who's paying for the meal. My mom wins.
  • Bring Danny's mom home. 
  • Realize that we can't jumpstart Danny's car with mom's car, because it's HUGE and we don't where the battery terminals are, even. Also, can't jump from my car because I dont dare even TOUCH my battery terminals after I almost got stranded in Freeport. 
  • Ask Danny's car-savvy brother for help.
  • Take mom back to hotel, go back to Danny's house to meet his brother.
  • Fill up gas cans, because there's a chance he just ran out of gas.
  • Contemplate how I'm going to kill Danny because we discussed not driving the car around on empty. and I tried to give him gas money and he refused.
  • Go up to where Danny works, get his keys, fill gas tank, jump start car, freeze asses off. (It was like 10pm at this point)
  • Thank Danny's brother, go inside, yell at Danny.
  • Get home after 11 pm.   
Today has been somewhat more relaxed. Got up and went to the mall with mom. Got my free Aerie "In Love" lotion and Mom bought a few more tops. Disappointed because refund check from school didn't come, but not bothered because I dont get my paycheck until tomorrow anyways. After lunch with mom, chilled out here. And then I got a call from mom. My refund check came... to her house. Which has never happened before. Also, its $60 less than my invoice said it would be. Crap. So I called the bursar's office to see if it was a mistake. NOPE. My lender is now charging a fee on my loans now. What the crap, thanks for telling me. I'm not going to complain (much) about it though. I should consider myself lucky that they're even willing to give me money so that I can go to school. Just sucks because 1) I was depending on that money to get my Macbook and 2) Im still going to have to pay them back that $60+interest. I would have liked to actually have seen that money. Oh well...

Im gonna go eat a whoopie pie.
