When we lived in Utah, there was a fantastic Mexican restaurant we used to go to. The kind of place that was packed anytime you went there, even if at lunch on Tuesday. Food was made fresh as you ordered and you got a great amount for your money. Most of the time we ordered and took it home to avoid waiting for a table and being packed into a seating area like a herd of cows.
It is a chain restaurant and one of many locations in Utah, but they haven't made their way into Idaho. It was one of the few places that I miss restaurant-wise from there (Pier 49 Pizza being the only other). All of the times I was pregnant, it was one of the few cravings I would get early on when I was so sick. And surprisingly one of the few foods that I managed to keep down.
A little over a month ago we discovered they were building one here, way on the other side of town. I was beyond ecstatic! We've talked a handful of times about going once it opened and how excited I was to finally have a location here.
They've been open for a couple weeks now and we haven't made it over there to eat yet. My hope was that we'd go on a weeknight to avoid the craziness of weekend restaurant goers.
Through a sequence of events I'd rather not delve into (my husband wasn't being very nice), I discovered a charge on our debit card to said restaurant from earlier this week. I was crushed! Perhaps it sounds stupid but I was so excited about this place opening and for us to go. And then I find out that he went without me. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.
After the initial shock and anger passed, I confronted him about it last night. His response, "it's not a movie premiere where I'll never want to see the movie again, I'll still want to go with you".
I know it's silly; it IS just a restaurant but I guess the biggest issue is that it's something that was important to me.
Men. They just don't get it sometimes, do they?

No, they don't.
I would've been ticked if M did that to me! I think it's just one of those unspoken things that you just assume they know...AND...the fact that he somehow failed to mention it to you until you saw the charge is a typical man! "Oh, did I forget to tell you?" lol...
At least he could've brought you some home ;)
I asked him why he didn't tell me and he stumbled for an answer. He then admitted that he knew I'd be upset. Hmmm, ya think?
Why didn't he call you to meet him there? We went the other day and it was a zoo.
I'm sorry you still haven't made it.
Boys can be so stupid sometimes.
I'd be ticked, too. Where is it? I want to try it here.
