Dear Host, Please Under Promise & Over Deliver.

February 26, 2007 by Maren 7 Comments

The weather was too warm to ski this weekend, so we met in Cincinnati at Jungle Jim’s then went to the Cincinnati Art Museum.  We had a great day!  Saturday, we had a college friend come into town.   I called ahead to one of our favorite restaurants in Louisville, Havana Rumba, where we were told we’d have to wait for 30 minutes.  NO PROBLEM… After arriving & waiting 45 minutes, and still not being seated, we asked the host how much longer we’d have to wait.  Apathetically, he replied, “45 more minutes.”  Something is definitely wrong with his math skills!  He needs to learn the motto “Under Promse, Over Deliver!”  We were majorly disappointed–we had an 8 o’clock show to make, so we had to leave and go elsewhere…AND by this time, we were short for time, so we headed to a Jimmy John’s.  I was super disappointed being the one “in charge” of the plans and have to resort to a sandwich shop, but sometimes I have to give up my perfectionistic ways and learn to go with the flow…This was one such instance, and personally, I think better memories are made that way. We went to a comedy show that evening.  Our college friend assured us that the comedian was very clean and appropriate, but I doubtfully thought, “I’ll believe THAT when I see it!”  Surprisingly, he was VERY clean, and we really enjoyed the show–Michael laughed so hard, he got an ab workout!  Last night, we went over to some friends’ house, and had a delightful time!  All in all, great weekend, so I wanted to blog about it.
