Promises

So my girlfriend and I had our first .... misunderstanding....the other day.

I had promised to take her to see many things when she comes. The Hawaiian sunset, the beach out at Lanikai, sample the mac pancakes over at Boots & Kimo....etc. You know...the good stuff!

I blame context. We were talking and all of a sudden she says "What did you say?". What did I say? Here I am trying to dig through my memory of all our months of conversation wondering what I might have told her and forgotten.

"You aren't joking? You really forgot?" EEEEP!! Pressure!!

I finally decide to take the noble road and say "Baby, I really forgot.... ". *Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz* I'll take 'what is a wrong answer for 100 please'.

Later I finally dig it out from her that it was all the former promises from the trip. I further complicate the issue by saying "Those weren't promises....I would take you to all those places anyway". *Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

Suffice to say I think she was upset. I think this is fundamental between guys and girls. This is exactly why they can have so many shows on TV where the guy is always the dufus and the girl is always the poor soul who has to put up with him.

What I'm saying, and what she's hearing is totally different. I'm saying "I have a mad crush on you, so I would have taken you to the moon whether I had promised you or not". She's hearing "You would have taken me anyway....so these things are not special for me" Right?

Hmmm...all's well though. It was just our first tiny thing and it's over. I can see all my married friends rolling their eyes thinking "That's just the beginning Raph" hahah.

My chocolate lady logo client cancelled yesterday. It's not that she didn't like it. But it sounds like something came up and she had to cancel plans. Kind of disappointing because I had really enjoyed making the logo...but such is life and business.

Thanksgiving was good, had a feast over at my Aunt's house. Our once-a-year gettogether. I had fun playing with a family dog named Samo (after Samo Hung...very little resemblence don't you think?). Adorable little guy. I want a dog.

Well....back to work! Gotta jam on the Lawyer's site. A prelim is due on Wednesday so I better get working. I have it all in my head but now it's just crunching down with Photoshop for a few hours to get it all visualized. I think the idea I have will be cool I'm sure of it. It's something I had an idea for a few years back but never had the opportunity to use.

Work work work.....
