Three more goals

I achieved 3 more goals this week. It started in disaster but ended up to be a lot of fun.

Thursday was my birthday, and it didn't go very well. Tahd stayed late at work, I got hurt and offended, and we basically tolerated each other over dinner and went our separate ways afterward. Of course, this spilled into Friday. Tahd thought he did nothing wrong. I felt devastated.

A fairly terse argument ensued via im, and I told him I didn't know if I wanted to go out on our scheduled date that evening. When he came home and started playing wii, I decided I couldn't take it anymore and left.

I planned to go do our date on my own, but the thought of going to the Melting Pot by myself sounded particularly boring, so I went to the movies instead. By myself. For the first time. And it wasn't bad. I watched Bride Wars and thought it was really cute. Tahd did track me down via text message and showed up with about 50 minutes of the movie left, but I'm still counting it as a completed goal because I basically did it and he showed up completely unsolicited.

After that, we went to the Melting Pot where we continued our argument in a less terse fashion. And then when everything was okay between us, I decided I'd go for my "drunk" goal, too. I got a bit tipsy, but I honestly felt like if I had any more alcohol I was going to start throwing up. However, I could still stand up, walk, carry on a full conversation - and because Tahd asked, I found out I could also still stand on one foot and walk a straight line.

All that to say I sort of doubt whether or not I made it all the way to drunk. But I decided it's fine with me and I got close enough because if I have to puke to get drunk I don't want to do it anymore. I puked enough in January. *giggle*
