So, when I got to work this morning, there was a message from mom, asking if we were going to ride together "tomorrow" or if I was too enamored of my car to ride with her - when she has a class, it's just down the road from my office. I sent back a reply that it depended on what radio station she wanted to listen to. After a little banter, she wanted to know if I'd take her out to lunch - break time is at 11:45. I told her "sure" and saved the email so that I wouldn't blow her off.
Later that morning the boss wanted to know if I could go out to lunch with him today to review a couple of proposals. Good deal - two lunches out in two days! I never do that, unless I'm traveling.
I get back from lunch with the boss and find a note on my computer screen - something along the lines of "you're going to pay for this!". Not quite sure what crime I'd committed, I called mom - seems I stood her up for lunch "today". Back to the original message labeled "TOMORROW". It was sent yesterday about 5:36 pm - after I'd left the office. So "tomorrow" turned out to be "today"!!! She'd been emailing me from her class. I'd thought she was emailing me from her office!

you're in so much trouble. You could make up for it by buying her some makeup.
Or jewelry. :)
Love you, honey!

I can make up for it? She got dinner at Outback last night and I still missed out on a good lunch today!!! (and she had the day off)
(I love you too, honey)
I was thinking that I saw a bouquet of flowers or something similar in your future....
Does another trip to Disney cover it?
Not quite flowers... or jewelry (although there will likely be a pearl in Epcot/Japan)...
