I woke up today and decided I was going to invite the wine guy to my house for dinner instead of us going out tonight.
We agreed earlier in the week to get together today, with the plans still up in the air.
Last night we discussed a few options with the intent of nailing down the plan today.
So on the way to work I sent him a quick text to see if he was up for some of my cooking. He agreed, and then I started to realize I didn't really think this one all the way through.
Sure I thought about inviting him to my house, and what that means, and how it's opening my home world to someone... but there was one very important thing I neglected to think about.
It is the day before Thanksgiving and I just agreed to cook and I don't have any food in the house.... great.
Perfect timing now I'm going to have to brave the grocery store for 4 ingredients, but I guess it's worth it.
About an hour after I got to work he called... something came up and he had to reschedule... I was relieved, now I was off the hook for the grocery store!
It actually works out very well for me now. I can either go tomorrow on Thanksgiving, or the next day, both days will likely be very slow.
On my way home from work I started thinking about what I was going to do tonight. I had read about this place in town that is supposed to be THE place to be on Thanksgiving eve.
I wanted to check it out and see what all the fuss was about, so I started making calls. The Cat Lady, the BFF, and the Encourager were all on my list.
I left one voicemail, and the other 2 said they would think about it or try but they would let me know. I left it up to the universe. If I was meant to be there one of my friends would have wanted to go. If not, no big deal.
By the time I got home I started researching the place to find out the dress code and to see what the place was all about.
Before I knew it one of the cats had curled up on my lap, after about 30 minutes I realized I wasn't going anywhere.
I knew it was a long shot to begin with but this really sealed the deal, and I was ok with it.
After I started reading about the place I decided I wanted to check it out on a less crowded day, and so it was done. So I spent this Thanksgiving eve at home relaxing with a glass of wine.
Despite my best intentions I was meant to be at home chilling by myself.
