I was fortunate enough to have Monday off to make for a nice long Easter weekend. Well, as you all know Travis and I are new to Austin and I am terrible at directions. So, Travis calls me around 2pm and wants to know if he can swing by and get my car because he has to drive way north for this work errand and he has to use the tollway and his car is so mangled he can't roll the window down on the drivers side. So, lovingly I say of course see you in a bit. In the meantime, I get the chicken marinated for dinner that night and change into work out clothes. My plan was to take Allie Mae on a walk to then mosey along to my 6:30 work out class. (Travis comes, switches cars, drives north, does his errand, comes back, swithes cars and heads back to work around 4:45pm)
Then...ring ring...ring ring...Travis was calling.
me: "Hey babe, whats up?"
Travis: "Amy, I left the folder (the errand) in your car"
me: silent
Travis: "Shit, I'm going to be in this traffic all day"
me: "What are you going to do?" (you know me, not offering right away to bring it to him, I don't want to get stuck in traffic the one day I don't have to)
Travis: "I need you to meet me half way-start heading south and i'll start heading north and we will meet half way"
me: "Ok, I'll call you when I get on the road"
So...I fly down the highway b/c there is no traffic going south yet, I call Travis 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 times-no answer. Hmm...Where is he? Where am I supposed to exit? He knows I get stressed out about this stuff (as I am approaching down town-so much for meeting half way) He finally calls and sure enough we had passed each other on the highway.
me: "Why haven't you been answering my calls?!?"
Travis: "My ringer is off and I was listening to music"
me: !!!!!!??????#$#%$%@#"Whatever, I am exiting enfield, see you there"
I exited enfield and tried to think of the easiest way to park to then be able to turn around to get back on the highway (down town austin is so confusing-especially for someone like me). So I go straight thru the enfield light thinking I can then just turn around...wrong, its a one way. So Travis finally shows up and gets his folder he left in the car.
me: "Well-now I'm on this one way and I'm not sure how to get back and its 5:40 and I'm probably going to be late for my class now"
Travis: "Sweetie, I don't know what to tell you-I've got to get back to work"
Ok now peeps-tit for tat. I run this down for him (thats the tit) Wheres my tat? And I know that I am a big girl and you are all reading this going-Amy, he's right, you have to just figure it out!-and I know that, and I did...I just wasn't very happy about the situation. And yes, I made it to my class on time, I know that was a real nail bitter...So, the point of this blog is that no one is perfect and you have to deal with frustrating things on both ends all the time-and you get thru it. We had a lovely dinner together last night. IT MUST BE LOVE!
