Today, I was supposed to go to a playgroup meetup at Joe’s Crab Shack. Well, I did go to it. The only problem is, nobody else went.

Yeah.

I knew it was happening. It’s been planned for over a week. So, I checked this morning to see that it was still going on, and headed off to the gym. Left the gym, went home and showered and cleaned up, left the house and went to Joe’s. I was seated outside on the patio (the idea was to sit outside on the shaded patio while the kids play on the playground they have), and I ordered myself and Matthew drinks. 20 minutes later, I realized nobody was going to show up. I checked the “event” on Facebook, and the creator of the event didn’t cancel it officially, but simply commented and said, not enough people RSVP’d to the event, so she was going to reschedule it. She posted that 45 minutes before the time we were supposed to meet!

Argh! So, Matthew and I stayed. He played on the playground, then we ate some lunch, He played some more, and we headed home. I felt so dumb telling that waitress that nobody else was coming, and I wish someone would have told me it was cancelled via text or phone call!

Anyways. On the way home, we stopped by our local Ace Hardware store where they were having a 75% off all plants sale. I went a few days ago and got some marigolds for my vegetable garden (pest deterrent) and two plants for my front garden. I didn’t think there’d be any plants left, but alas, there was still a lot. I got a pot with geraniums, some random pink flowers to go in the flower bed, an impatiens and salvia. The front of my home will be so PURDY! :D

I hate that. MeetUp groups are REALLY bad about that. People RSVPing and then never freakin showing up. It’s really disheartening. :(

Yay for plants! :D I’ve got seedlings growing out on the balcony that I hope to add to the garden in a few weeks.
