Day 95 Chocolate Dreams

Sometimes things don't go as planned.

How often do we say that?

My mom is visiting,

and she, my sis, and I planned a Friday pm movie night.

We decided to go see "The Blind Side"

(starring Sandra Bullock),

and decided to "go for it"--

to spend a few extra dollars to go to the best theater near us.

It comes with:

chattering crowds of people,

the wonderful buttery smell of popcorn,

neon-lit signs,

high-back comfy chairs

(they rock and the arms move out of the way)...

the whole ambie

nce of a fun movie-night out!

Finally, at the front of the ticket line.

Then I saw it:"Sold out."

We couldn't find a showing somewhere else that wasn't too late.

While sitting in my car, calling,

a van pulled up by me--

accidentally hit my car when they opened their door.

Great. Another thing going wrong.

Finally, onto Plan B:

Black Tie Mousse Cake!

My beloved dessert that I *still* have not had...

Remember, they were all out last time I went?

I couldn't wait!

The waitress came back from the kitchen...

with bad news.

No more Black Tie Mousse Cake.
It was frozen and needed 24 hours.
My chocolate dream unfulfilled yet again.

So I bought one to go.

Things definitely didn't go as planned,

and it was a challenge to stay in a good mood.

It ended up being a great night with great conversation.

Lesson: go with the flow, and be nice about it!
