HALP!

Advise me! HALP!, All Women Are Crazy, Behind the Times

I just realized that the final season of Downton Abbey starts tonight at 9!  The problem is that I set up a dinner date with a gentleman at 7 AND I don’t have DVR.  I feel like it may not be quite appropriate to ask a guy to move a date so I can watch a [spectacular] period soap opera.  The struggle is real.

HALP!

What should I do?

Reschedule dinner earlier
Nothing–maybe you’ll make the premiere?
Cancel all plans from now until then to watch all seasons of Downton with the cats
Other
Please Specify:

UPDATE:  I’ve decided to do nothing.  He changed the venue from a restaurant I think is ok to a good Irish pub…. He’s also 6’7″….

Thanks for the advice friends!

UPDATE UPDATE!  I mentioned being excited about the Downton premiere so he offered to move dinner earlier and he’s coming over to watch it with me.  In the words of the wise Lady Grantham: “All life is a series of problems which we must try and solve.”  Is Downton and chill a thing?

Good Eats!, This is 30, Times when I'm awkward

Happy New Year!

I ended up going to a friend’s place last night and had a great time playing games, talking, and laughing!  Every time I have these experiences, I’m reminded how truly great it can be to be single–flexibility to hang out with the friends when the opportunity pops up at the last minute.  No checking with someone else’s schedule just freedom to do what I want.  I know a relationship doesn’t mean losing all that freedom, but it is an adjustment and  I feel it’s important to try to enjoy myself no matter the circumstances.

Anyways, since I didn’t get to have Netflix and chill time with the cats last night, I made up for it today.  I guess that’s not all I did.  I had a coffee date (nothing to report just yet) and then I decided to eat all the unhealthy foods.  Anti-resolution?  I had a delicious cheeseburger and fries for lunch and Chinese food for dinner.  To put it over the top, I ordered the only dish that could say: I’M A SINGLE PERSON WHO IS EATING HER FEELINGS.  A pu pu platter for one.  Those feelings can really be delicious.

Now I shall digest while watching TV and texting.
