how many of you have ever been set up on a date you really didn't want to go on? well last night i was cruely introduced to this situation and today I have "monday morning quarterback" syndrome...except on sunday with absolutely nothing to do with football.
yesterday i went to work to get caught up and ready to face the week, arrange papers, make copies, plan lessons, etc. however, i had been set up earlier in the week and figured that last night would be a good time to let the dice roll and see how this set up would play out.
first though, a little back story. I had been set up by someone at work. to make this situation more delicate the person i was set up with was the daughter of this person. well, i had tried to play it the set up off and not really intended to take her up on it. however, for some reason i had an out of body experience and agreed to go out. now i should have seen the writing on the wall when i learned that this girl i was set up with was on the heels of a break up after 5 years. however, i ignored the flashing red lights in my head and agreed to go out...because this girl needed to meet new people and I'm new to the area....etc, etc, bullshit. To top off this little charade, the girl I'd been set up with showed up as work last week just by chance.... right. at any rate i knew i was on the hook for at least one date.
so last night i called and set up a time/place. thankfully it was set up as a double date...whew. so we went out for dinner and i have to say that dinner was great. i had the chicken maximillian w/ baja sauce (highly recommend). afterward we went to a movie. incidentally 2 for the money is a good one, a bit long, but still a good movie. however, the only show we could make was the 9:25 meaning that we didn't get out till 11:45. i had to drop them back off at thier car, get gas and make it back home. so i walked in the door a bit after 12:40. not bad, except that sleep deprivation is a companion of mine nowadays.
so here i sit contemplating this whole dating bit. from now on I think i'll set up my own dates and avoid the whole awkward feeling thing that i had to go through last night.
