D’oh!

Gary rushed home tonight because we had a party to attend.   It was supposed to start at 5 pm — an odd hour to start on a Friday since most people are just getting off work at that time.  “Oh well,” we thought, “we’ll just be late.” 

The theme for the party was “black and white”, which means you have to come dressed in black and white (or all black or all white).  Anyway, I’m frantically getting ready around 6ish, when Gary suddenly announces that the party isn’t on Feb. 22nd; it’s on Saturday, March 22nd.  D’oh!

Gary had called to get directions and learned we had the wrong date.  I am so glad he called.  Otherwise, we’d have shown up at their house like idiots….whew, pretty funny, huh?

So, since we were all dressed up and had no where to go, we ventured out for dinner and found ourselves at Pei Wei eating edamame and orange chicken. 

I finished writing the first scene of “Pirates of Patmos” (our summer drama production) last night.  It’s coming along nicely and should be ready just in time for casting in April.  Hopefully, I’ll have scene two knocked out by Sunday.  Anyway, Gary and I were discussing the script and brainstorming at dinner.  When I opened my fortune cookie, I started laughing. 

It said, “You have a love of words.  Someday you should write a book.” 

Good timing.
