And back
Hey guys!
Mr Bob and I took a three day weekend to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversery and Mr Bob's birthday. We did nothing. It was fantastic. We lounged around, ordered Chinese food and played computer games.
Despite this, I still have a "Bob is very stupid story" for you all.
Saturday was group party hosted by my boss, champagne and very tasty food at his house. It's a little tricky to get to his house by bus, so I sent out some extra directions, mentioned when I was going and offered to let anyone come with me.
So I arrived at Boss's place with Mr Bob and one of my labmates and knock on the door at 4:00 sharp. There is no answer. I hadn't brought the directions, so I wasn't totally sure of the address. I snuck around and peeked in the garden and it was the right place.
Knocked again.
Knocked again.
Boss answers the door, welcomes us, ushers us in. Everything is nearly ready, which is a little odd, as usually everything is completely ready and music playing and such.
We chat for 2 or 3 minutes and then I realise that we had arrived 30 minutes early. I can see (in my mind) the invite saying 4:30. I felt very, very stupid.
sigh.
I apologised, but my boss and his wife were wonderful hosts and pretended it was useful to have 3 extra people around a half hour before hosting dinner for 15.
The rest of the party was very nice.

Yay for a break of a weekend! Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday to Mr. Bob!!!
I wouldn't worry about the 1/2 hour early... to me it would've been no big deal. Heck, it's not like you got there 2 hours early or something.
I don't feel so bad now, but still get the occasional pang of embarrasment. I just try to tell myself that the hosts wouldn't want me to feel sooo bad.
Happy Anniversary!
1/2 hour early isn't bad at all. Would have been embarrassing if the boss caught you sneaking around back though.
Happy anniversary.
Happy anniversary Bob!
I would have been mortified if guests showed up that early. It would ruin the entire night, I think. *smirk*
Update:
Waltek is my favorite
MM is not
Happy birthday to Mr. Bob and happy anniversary to both of you. Good thing you weren't caught peeking into the garden. Lots of times I go to people's houses and they're still setting things out and preparing food when I get there. I usually have everything ready by party time.
Wow! Is it really your 2nd anniversary? Already? It seems like I got married 2 years ago! How strange is that?????
Don't you hate feeling dumb days later about some stupid little thing that everyone else has probably forgotten about?
Oh, and happy anniversary & belated bday to Mr. Bob!
Oh, and you must have seen my post in Coco's Mr. Bob birthday thread. :-)
Happy Annibirthay to you & Mr. Bob!
LLL at getting there so early! Did you trample the petunias while peeking in the windows? Did you see the boss in his underwear?
I like Stupid Bob stories, they make me feel all superior and stuff.
