| Jumping to the wrong conclusion
|

|
About a month ago there was a promotion for Journey, Heart and Cheap Trick Tickets for ten bucks. Brian was over and he was interested in going so I bought us the tickets. He said "well even if we are in one of our arguments we'll make up and go". I am not a huge fan but I like their music and for ten bucks, I could not pass it up. So I bought the tickets and didn't think about it until this week. I realized he had not called or emailed about it, that he never showed up last week like he said, he basically forgot all about me and erased me from his life. This is for the better in the long wrong, I know this but it's not fun to feel this way.
On Monday I realize that the concert was this week and I thought it was on Thursday. Well, Lolo called on Saturday and said she was coming on Thursday to spend the weekend with me. She was bringing the girls. Then on Sunday Jen asked if she could come on Thursday because Wednesday she had to see Fireman Frank since she would not able to see him for a week or two because of his and her schedules. I said that was fine.
Last week, before findind out that Lolo and Jen would be here, my friend CC tells me she is having her birthday at the Journey concert, they are going to tail gate and then thirty people had gotten lawn tickets and they were all going to watch the concert together. I was glad because I would have use of my ticket and could possibly get my mind off of Brian while I was there.
This week when Jen and Lolo said they were coming, I decided that I wouldn't go to see Journey because it was on the same day and I would rather do something low key at home with friends. I tried giving away my ticket but I couldn't. So, yesterday Lolo calls and says she is going to come today because she doesn't want to drive through the sticks at night with the girls. I don't blame her, there is little or no cell phone reception on parts of the drive. Around 5:30, Jen called that she was leaving in 5 minutes, she lives about an hour away. I went to run errands and then headed home to have dinner with her or so I thought. Then around 6:45, she called and I thought it was to check if I was home but she was still home and with the Fireman. Then at 7, I sent her a text not to come, it was too late to drive an hour for dinner.
In truth, I was just sad. I miss Brian, I love my new place but I don't feel at home in it. I am happy for her, that she has met someone, but I thought that she was that late because she made a choice to hang out with her boyfriend rather than with me. She called a few minutes later and I convinced her not to come. I was really mopey at this point. So I checked the tickets to see at what time the concert started and it turned out that the concert was yesterday. I put it in my phone wrong. Great. So I did a few things last night around the house. I hung some pictures. Finished emptying boxes in the guest bedroom. Organized my shoes, it turns out I have 42 pairs and I use less than 5 regularly, ridiculous.
Late last night, Jen called. She said she had dinner with George and his family. She explained everything and I came to the wrong conclusions. He was at her house mowing her grass, she pays him to do this. He had gone with her to get something for her car at Autozone and she had planned to come up. She was nervous about seeing her mom this weekend, her mom has mental issues and was sad herself. She said she was hurt because she thought that she must have been irritating me for some reason which is why I did not want her to come over. I felt like I was a bad friend. Sometimes, I wish I were more vocal instead of jumping to the wrong conclusion.
I am looking forward to a weekend with my two closest friends and with Lolo's girls. They had planned a suprise party at my house tomorrow night but I don't know how far they got with preperations because Lolo told me about it yesterday and said she needed help.

Hey P. You are a great friend, sometimes we do misread our friends, but I'm sure they won't hold it against you.
I'm sure you home will be like HOME SWEET HOME soon.
There are "ways" to make it feel more like home too... if you are into that sort of stuff. Google it. I did it to get rid of the foty vibes I felt. :)
Crazy?? probably ... lol.
Have a good one, oh and I LOVED your photos.

Haha, if someone offered me tickets to see those bands I'd run the other way! :P
I'm sorry you're feeling a bit down in your new house, but as K said above me, it'll probably feel like home sweet home soon!
And in regards to your friend, well, I guess all I can say here is that accidents, and misunderstandings happen.. At least no damage to your friendship was taken.
Take care :)

I agree with Jaded - you are a great friend which is evident by the fact that you have so many! We are all entitled to mess up sometimes and true friends don't turn their backs when we do. I love Heart, Journey and Cheap Trick! Perhaps I am aging myself but SO WHAT! Too bad you missed the concert.

At least you are productive when you are down. If it were me, I would have grabbed a pint of Ben & Jerry's or several alcoholics beverages, and plopped in front of the TV to torture myself with Chick Flicks. Then I would probably cried myself to sleep and woke up with red, puffy eyes. haha
