Not Easily Surprised

The other night Craig attempted to surprise me with the Sister Hazel concert that I had been nagging asking him about since mid-November.  Rather than cleverly making something up like "Ah, I'll be out of town for work that night" (totally believable because he travels almost every week & shoots stuff down all the time because of it), or "I have a work dinner", or ANYTHING that indicates that he considered it at some point, and that he was sad he was going to miss it (the last part is important)… instead, he just pretended like I never even said it. I even brought it up in person once and he completely ignored me, and somehow I missed the opportunity to pout about it.  I don't know how he distracted me from the subject, come to think of it.

Anyway, so I finally asked him again last week as the date kept creeping closer, because normally he at least rejects it.  Ignoring me was completely new.  In case you haven't caught on to that yet.  I asked him via text because (guess what) he was out of town for work.  And then (guess what) he IGNORES me.  So then, I'm irritated.  Inside, my mind goes something like "What the FRACK??  I'm totally losing my touch."  After I push again, he says "Let me check my schedule - I might have to work."  Um.. HELLLLLOOOOO.. I asked him about this almost a month ago!  So, I have a little pow-wow with myself and just chalk it up to "Ok, the boy doesn't want to go.. I've seen them in concert before… same venue…  so it's not a huge deal…………………... But gah, he's just straight up IGNORING me!"

…and back to the happy place…

"Not a big deal."

Fast forward a few days when I ask too many questions and it comes to light that he bought the tickets weeks ago and had even organized a group to go.  Woopsie.  Ok, I'm a jerk but YAY SISTER HAZEL!

PS - I loved it. :)

So, on a more random, yet related note - I was playing one of Sister Hazel's songs called Champagne High to get me in the mood on Tuesday.  Has anyone else really listened to the lyrics of that song and wondered what the hell the dude was doing at that wedding?!  I'm just sayin'.
