Re: your comments

Re: asparagus. I went ahead and did the olive oil/garlic powder/oven thing. I can see now how the lemon juice would go well too. Very easy, very good. Thank you all for your suggestions. :)

Re: being stood up. Following the standing up, I had attempted to message said individual when I saw they were online later that night. No response, and in fact they went offline shortly after my message was sent. No further communication during the weekend either, at least, not until last night. Last night the guy messaged me and said hi. I asked him what happened on Friday, and he suddenly stopped talking. After giving him something like 20 minutes to respond, I thanked him for the chat and then blocked his messages/defriended him.

I really am a pretty easygoing person, happy to give the benefit of the doubt in nearly any circumstance. I am not, however, an woman who has the time and drama quotient to have jerks in her life. He can go hit on someone else. What an idjit.

I am een-Vinc-ible!

Thing 1: We got back our group papers today in English class. Our paper got used as an example to the class for the next project (without identifying who wrote it) and our group got a perfect score. It is not too much credit to myself to say that I walked people through finding a good idea and then was assigned to write the first draft (which had only cosmetic changes made to it by others in the group). 200 pts out of 200, baby. Oh yeah.

Thing 2: After being out for a week, I went back to the gym and did cardio while I watched the Dancing with the Stars finale. Though Laila is my girl, Joey totally owned the freestyle. 30 minutes on the elliptical, effectively 2 miles, with a top heart rate of 164. This after not going since I came down with bronchitis (which is totally gone now, God bless Zithromax). I rock.

Thing 3: Guy who stood me up apparently realized today that I had blocked him, and thus sent me an email after all. He says: "I'm so, so sorry about Friday and my silence over the weekend. It's been crazy and hectic... work related, basically. I am truly sorry for not letting you know. Can we try this once more -- any day, even tomorrow.. please?"

What do you think, Gentle Reader? Should I let him buy me dinner and try to apologize, or throw the baggage out! Your votes will decide! *grin*
