Beautiful Mess

So next week B and I are going to Vegas.  Yay!

Well, actually, next week B and I are going to Vegas with my mom, step-dad, and sister.  So not exactly a romantic getaway, but still I’m really looking forward to it.  The whole week, no work.  Aaahhhhhhh. 

Anyway, B booked our flights months ago.  He had some miles leftover from when he used to travel frequently for work, so he booked both of our flights.  I was happy, because it meant I didn’t have to pay for it.  But last week he decided he wanted to see if he could change our flights around.  Wanted to arrive in Vegas earlier and leave earlier. 

Fine.  I don’t really care.  Except he told me that he might change our 6:00 p.m. flight out of Vegas to 6:00 a.m..  Whoa…..slow down there, dude.  I am NOT a morning person.  Not even a little.  B well knows this.  So I started whining, bitching, pissing and moaning.  At length.  But then I ended it by telling him, well, I would NEVER do that on my own, but you paid for the flight, so do whatever you need to do.

CLEARLY I didn’t mean it.

Anyway, he went ahead and booked the 6:00 a.m. flight.  Ugh.  It pissed me off, not just because I’m too lazy to get my ass out of bed to be at the airport by 4:00 a.m., but because he totally disregarded what I said.  We discussed it together, I said how much I HATED the idea, and he totally ignored me and did his own thing.  I told him I was unhappy about it (several times) and he told me “oh, you’ll be fine.” 

The next day I was still stewing about it at work, so I sent him an email.  Told him I really was mad about it because I felt that he didn’t listen to me.  If he doesn’t want my opinion, then he shouldn’t ask for it.  I have to deal with that crap all day long at work, I don’t need it in my personal life.  B is not my boss. 

So he called me after work and said he was sorry that I was upset about it.  He didn’t mean to ignore me, he just wanted us to get back early (as opposed to our other flight that was to get in at midnight) so that we would have time to go the next day to get a Christmas tree together.  We had already figured out that that was the only day we would have to do that together.  He thought it would be something fun for us to do together, and wanted us to have enough time to get it, put it up, and decorate it.

Oh.

Then he went on to say that he just wanted to concentrate on the vacation.  He has been to Vegas a number of times, but always for work, and he is really looking forward to being there with me, and showing me around, and just spending all that time together in general.

Oh.

Well, there went all my good arguments out the window.  But for sure I will be a total bitch the morning of the early flight. 

Anyway, I’m definitely looking forward to it.  I am always happy to get away and I have never been to Vegas, so it should a good time.  Any suggestions?
