One of the things D gave me for Christmas was a gift certificate for dinner out at a very nice local restaurant called Bacco. I love fine wine, fine food and impeccable service, it could be listed as one of my hobbies if I did it more often. D, on the other hand, really does not care for such activities. So it is really a fine and caring gift and tonight is the night we will partake of it, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited. There is the possibility of a glitch though, and I am trying to school myself today on how to react if it arises. When D purchased the gift certificate (paper not plastic) the man he purchased it from had neither his reservation book, nor his gift certificate book on hand. He told D that he’d remember the reservation and log it later (oh, sure!), and since he had sold only one other gift certificate that day this one had to be #2, which he did indeed write on the card. A few days ago I suggested, obliquely I hope, that D may want to call and verify the reservation. He did, and sure enough they had never heard of him. We are more than a little worried about the certificate. We can afford to pay for our dinner, but we’d hate to just chuck $100 out in the street. D is pretty easy going, and while he’d not be happy, I’m not sure he’d raise much of a fuss. I, on the other hand...well lets just say demure is not one of my strong points. But, I also think that my normal route of jumping in and taking over will really, really not be appreciated in this situation. So, send any stray demure thoughts my way today ‘cause this mouthy broad could use all she can get!
