MY BIRTHDAY!

my 32nd birthday was today. i woke up with the 'plans' to spend the day having lunch with a friend, and then the evening was going to meet that friend and then two more friends up at the local watering hole to have a few beers and then go to their house a block over and watch some movies. all in all a good quiet day / night filled with friendship. then i woke up and saw on my facebook that the admirals were playing tonight. i have a twin brother and its been a tradition that every year they play a home game on our birthday our dad would take us, well since dad is in florida now, it was up to twin and i to keep the tradition going! so i called him eager to surprise him with my brilliant plan, i had some extra moneys and would take him and his girl to the hockey game so we could celebrate our birthday together....well twin already had plans to go with his girl and friends from work, so he said well here ill give you two passes for free tickets for your birthday, haha...so i went to lunch with my friend, and said well plans have changed, but would you like to go to a hockey game with me and my brother tonight? sure he said, i just have to make sure that my brother doesnt have anything planned first cause weekends are the only time we see each other but im like 90% sure it wont be a  problem. ill call you at 530 and be at your house around 7...no sense paying for parking for 2 cars! so friend came in and met hubby and bobby (the dog) ((daughter was already at her aunties house for the night)) and then left. so i had about 3 hours to waste before 630 when i would have to get dressed for the hockey game...enough time to find my long lost admirals teeshirt! haha. instead i decided i would take a little nap...and then at 530 i got the call that my friend wouldnt be able to make it to the hockey game....(oh my god are you serious? the passes my brother gave me werent upgradeable to the seats he was sitting in, so i had to pay full price for the tickets - $40.00) oh ok...trying not to show my incredible disappointment i wished him fun with his brother tonight and said goodbye before crying and angrily throwing the phone at the wall. this was MY birthday damnit! and i wanted to go to the hockey game with you, and now you arent going....sigh...ok...hubby? wanna go to the hockey game? well he just got home from a 15 hour shift of driving at work and i knew if i took him he would sleep through the excitement and i would just be embarrassed in front of my brother and his work friends...so i figured, forget it, ill go myself. i already know im sitting close to my brother and his buddies, maybe his girl will sit and talk with me during intermissions, and a friend from high school would be there too and planned to come say hi. so i thought okay, i NEVER do stuff alone, but this is a new year, a new me, and im freaking 32 years old, i can handle a hockey game alone....cant i? so i napped a little more...through my alarm and missed the whole darn game....sigh. i cried a little more cause now my birthday had been "ruined" and the tradition was wrecked cause of me. once again i messed things up, oh yeah and i lost 40 bucks! thats lot of money to me, sorry. so anyways learned the admirals won 2-1 and it was a great game...sad that i couldnt be there, but i now have passes (they werent upgradeable remember?) to another game so hubby and i are going to plan to see the chicago timberwolves play our admirals in march. hubbys birthday is feb. 27th so it works out well to be a birthday treat for him. i did get pictures of my two oldest from their school taken photos which was nice....all in all the day kinda sucked but it gets a B for effort and i did have a great lunch with friend. and daughter had a nice sleepover with her auntie and cousins. now if it would warm up in this darn house i would be much happier!!!
