The Anniversary Dinner That Wasn't

Here is the ending: Craig had Trix, Angie had nothing.

Here is how it all began:  Angie had been out doing some things and when she arrived back we decided to go out for dinner.  We are still out-of-town so without childcare (actually it would have been the same at home)  thus we were all five going out together.  

We went to a nearby mall and by the time we got there it was nearly time to break the fast; so we knew we were in trouble. We picked a restaurant based on its name and found it was little too "food court" for an anniversary dinner so we went to TGIFridays.  They had an hour wait.  Hmm.  It was time for everyone to eat.

We walked through the mall to find every restaurant had a sign or a person saying, "Full."  Even places like KFC had no room in the inn for weary travelers like us.  As a last resort we decided to go to a nearby Indian place where we often eat breakfast.  Interestingly, it had quite a different fell at night.  Also important, Angie had already rejected the idea of eating Indian food on our special evening.

We placed our orders and waited a couple of minutes.  As the food came we noticed a problem. It was all coming out wrong. Almost all of it was wrong.  Finally we decided not to bother and we paid and left without eating.  As we were leaving all the food on the table a waiter asked if we wanted it wrapped up to go.  "No thanks," we said and headed home for our Trix and nothing.

Yep.  I am one awesome, adventure planning, anniversary celebrating husband.
