Busted

Saturday was our office christmas party. It was so nice to see everyone in a very relaxed mood. We had great food. Great drinks. Great service. A wonderful time was had by all. We had been given access to a club for an "after party" after the, well, party. But I didn't go because it was already after midnight and I was supposed to have a class on Basic Herbalism on Sunday morning at Amaranthea's house.

Notice, I said "supposed to".

She calls me at around 9am and tells me that she and Kelin have a lot of stuff that they need to do, so they wanted to postpone class. Now, I'm thinking that they knew they had all this stuff, and class, and should've figured out how to get everything done like mature human beings. This does not bode well for Kel being off in college by herself. And I'm thinking that they knew that they'd be wanting to postpone class the night before. Had she told me the night before, I'd have known that I could stay at the party a little later and have more of a good time. I don't go out too often, and this was a wonderful time.

So, fine. We'll have class on Tuesday. That's fine. Whatever.

But I had been planning to drive down there to hit the new age store by her house. I won a gift certificate to the store at some event at the UU and I wanted to use it towards my Befana present for the grab bag.

So I drive down there, got there around 1p (which is about an hour after class was supposed to start), and whose car is in the parking lot? Amaranthea's. She's at the shop. I nearly blew a gasket. I was so mad that she blew off class to catch up on work, and here she is perusing the fine goods at the shop. I had to sit in the car for a few minutes to calm down. I blew off my friends the night before because I wanted to be able to not be too hung over for class, and she cancelled to go shopping?????

I walked up to the shop and she walked out, on her cell. She turned around and saw me. The look on her face was priceless. She was cold busted. I was really nice to her - overly nice. That'll kill her for the rest of the week. She was really suprised to see me. I told her that I was really suprised to see her, too, cause I thought she had a lot of work to do. Well, she was blowing it off to get some Befana gifts for Natale. She apologized for class again and I told her that it was okay, but next time, if she could give me a little more notice, cause if she'd told me the night before, I wouldn't have left my office party so early and miss having a good time with my coworkers.

I know that this will be eating away at her for the rest of the week. I figure she'll worry herself into an ulser over whether or not I'm mad at her. So I didn't really feel the need to be a bitch about it.

So I got some stuff. A lovely book on animals. A GORGEOUS statue of Apollo (damn but I really want the matching Diana). And some nice stuff for the grab bag. Now I've just got to WRAP EVERYTHING.... *sigh* I hate that part of Christmas. But it always looks so nice and neat when it's wrapped. I'll have to lock myself in a room so the cats can't get at me!
