I found out that last night, I double booked some plans.

I was supposed to hang out with Marika and possibly take some pictures and stuff. But, she couldn’t find her battery charger, and it turned out to be raining anyway, which made pictures out of the question. Instead, she asked me to see a movie later that night, and I said yes.

At a litlte before 7pm, she called to make sure I was ready and that she’d come pick me up, and I said OK. Maybe a minute after I hung up, my phone’s alarm goes off. I’m thinking, why is the alarm going off?!

I look at the phone and see that it is alerting me to a reminder I set 3 weeks ago, telling me that the Book Club meeting was in half an hour, at 7:30pm.

Doh.

I had JUST reconfirmed the movie, so there was no way I was going to call back and be like “umm, yea, sorry I’m ditching you.” Plus, I like Marika, she reminds me of other people I know and like. So, I ditched the book club, sending an email today saying how I thought the meeting was on Monday (which is mostly true. I DID think it was on Monday, which is when it was last time. Thinking it was on Monday, I said yes to the movie without checking to see if it conflicted.). I just left out the part about how I did something else instead.

I am a little bummed, since I DID race to finish the book in time and was curious to hear some thoughts on a few plot points. But, oh well. I will go to the next one, having just picked up a copy of the next book.

What are the odds that I have multiple engagements going on at the same time?!
