I've been SCOOPED!!!

Last night some friends and I went out to dinner and took in a movie. It is an unusual event to actually go to dinner and a movie, and have friends to do it with all in one night! I was sooooo excited, all the through the day, planning the fun time, thinking of all the jokes and laughter that would take place, (we are an amazing bunch of super fun people I should add) needless to say my anticipation was running high! We get the carpool running,we pick up our pals,and we are laughing joking and teasing each other as we head off to the restaurant. We find a parking place in the airport parking garage, oops! that is another story (I simply made a comment that the parking garage at the new casino, (apparently I was the ONLY one in the car who hadn't been out here before)looked like we were at the airport. Do you think I heard the end of it??? Noooooooo... Anyway I digress... we park,enter and the door to the elevator doesn't shut. We are waiting...I'm talking...finally one of my friends says to me, "get your but out of the door so it will shut!" We all start laughing, the evening was going well. We bought our movie tickets out of some snappy little machine, that looks much like an ATM, no standing in line, it was very cool! Meanwhile Paula had gone down to the restaurant to get us a table, so no waiting there either. It was great!!! We are ordering and talking and people watching, when I suddenly notice, this little,chunky thing Paula was sloooowly sliding out of her hand! You got it, her camera!!!! OH!!! I had been scooped!!! If it wasn't bad enough I forgot to take mine to the superbowl party(and yes,she kindly shared her pictures) I didn't even think about it for our night out! I was so annoyed that I missed the good photo opps to be had of our fun time. All is not lost however as Paula will blog about it with her good pics! If you want to be a blogger and not a lurker, I have discovered two things. One you have to be smart enough to take your camera everywhere you go to capture all of life's interesting moments, and two you have to have good friends and family who will let you write about them and celebrate those moments with you.
