Bummer
So, we made an early New Year’s resolution. Late last year we decided we needed to do better at seeing our friends. We resolved to have someone over for dinner once a month or so. We went ahead and got people scheduled for January and February. Our first dinner was to happen this evening, starting around when Agent Murphy goes to bed, with a co-worker of Mr. Tldz’s and his wife. But our guests had to cancel. Dad isn’t feeling all that well, and more importantly, they couldn’t find a babysitter. Our planned menu for tonight isn’t kid friendly, and we don’t really have the space to entertain their 2 older kids very well. Yet another reason it would be really nice to have a larger house. The square footage doesn’t need to be tons larger, we just need a layout that is more suited to our current needs.
Well, they’ve tenatively rescheduled for next Saturday, assuming they can find a sitter. And Mr. Tldz and I will have a very nice dinner this evening. (Too bad for our guests – they’ll end up with “plan B” next week.) And I have to remind myself that we can only keep our part of the resolution; actually showing up is on the people we invite.
And I guess, if you’re among our local friends, take this as notice that you’ll be ending up in our “dinner club” rotation this year.
