t mildly-miffed rantycakes, because I woke up still cranky about something from last night

Last night, Pete & I were supposed to go out to dinner w/ a friend so we could meet her new boyfriend (who lives in Boston, and is in town for a few weeks). Friend especially wants us to meet the new boy, as she wants our opinions; she's had not-so-good luck with picking boys who aren't crazy-making.

I was supposed to call her as soon as I got off the bus, and then we would all meet up at the local sushi place. However, 15 minutes before my bus stop, she calls me.

"Can we re-schedule dinner for tomorrow or next week?"

"Um, sure, I suppose. What's up?"

"Oh, we've been slugs all day. We've been on the couch playing X-box, and we'd still need to take showers and get ready and stuff, so it would be better if we could do dinner another night."

"Fine. It'll probably be some time next week."

Now, I need to know. Am I being unreasonable for being pissed that they couldn't bother to unplug themselves from the video game to get ready in time for a get-together that had been planned for two weeks? Because I'm STILL kinda mad about it.

• Annabel is adorable
• strength to Deb and Chino
• anti-zombie-fish-ma to Lilty

Is it any consolation to know that you've helped others by sharing your tale? I just noticed that I was on the verge of doing the exact same thing with not one, but two flights. Tricksy flights.

Actually, that does make me feel better. Thank you.

Nah, that's miff-worthy.

O's short but stout, so we're already in 5's. (But there may be a difference in the brand size). He's always within the weight limit, but his belly is just so roly-poly it's easier on him to move up a size earlier rather than later.

Annabel is just big-boned--the diapers still fit fine in the waist, but she gets side leaks because her bone structure makes her so wide for her height and weight. You can already tell she's going to have broad shoulders, big hands, big feet, etc. She's our kid, all right.

The biggest diapers I've seen are size 6. I hope those either last a long time or there's bigger sizes to be found somewhere, or these kids are going to have to go into Depends before they're old enough to potty train.

BWAH!

No. But then, People Suck.

Nope. I'd be mad.

Jilli, feh. That's all I can muster right now. FEH.

You are not the unreasonable one in this scenario.

That does seem rather rude, Jilli. You bothered to organize your day so that you could meet up with your friend and her fella. It seems the least she could do is do the same for you, especially since she wants your opinion on something. It seems like she has a certain basic lack of regard for your time.

I wasn't aware admitting to being a slug justifed much of anything that inconveniences others.

For what it's worth, Jilli, I would've unleashed a big "You lazy sacks of shit! Get the fuck in the shower and get over here now. You're the one that wanted this dinner and for us to meet NewBoy."
