*I got ready and headed to the train station with a slight suspicion that I might not get parking, but I had always been able to find a space before so I wasn't too concerned. Well I should have been. The lot was completely full, except for the permit spaces. So I missed the train and came home. There wasn't enough time to call my mom to have her get me for the next one and she wouldn't have been able to pick me up when I got back so there was no way to get home.
I decided to give it one more shot and tried again for the last possible train to get me there in time, but there still was no parking. Dream over. No fun events for Megan...and now I was also embarrassed because I replied yes to the events and had to email again to let them know I wouldn't be able to make it. AND I made a big deal about going to them on Twitter, here and Facebook.... *sigh* So I felt like a complete idiot. Needless to say there were some tears, and I NEVER cry. But then I ordered a medium pepperoni pizza and Cinna Stix from Dominos to cheer up (light on the cheese and sauce, double pepperoni)
UPDATE: I would have called a cab but 1. I am terrified of them, because of people... (social phobia, it's a miracle that I was even going to the city alone) and 2. Whenever my roommate calls them they take FOREVER to get to our house, because they get lost, so I would still miss the train ;)

Awww, that's sad. And that bit from Cinderella made me tear up, haha. I'm sure there'll be another occasion to wear your cocktail outfit to in future... next time maybe take a cab to the station? :(
ReplyDeleteAwww, I'm so sorry this happened to you : ( That really sucks!! On the bright side, you look amazing in that gorgeous dress! And I'm sure there will be another awesome event you'll be able to wear it at! You just have to make it there! ; ) That's my attempt at making you smile : ).
ReplyDeleteOh no, that really stinks. I'm sorry you didn't get to make it - I would say call cabs next time, a bit more costly than driving to the station but you'll never miss a train and have to worry about pick ups. That's seriously so sucky.

Oh no, sorry to hear you couldn't make it. How frustrating, glad you shared your outfit anyways. The dress is awesome great print. I missed an event at Armani Exchange this past spring and I'm still kicking myself for not taking the day off to attend. Be sure to just let it go and know they'll be more events in the future
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm so sorry, crap like that happens to me. I think a pizza was a great way to make yourself feel better! Don't worry there will be plenty more events in the future!
ReplyDeletethats a bummer. I actually heard on the news that morning that parking in New Haven was about to get worse since they are building some new college and they took spots from a garage so the people in the garage are having to find on street parking..yeah its a hot mess
ReplyDeletei love the colour of this dress! so pretty

Hey girl, that's so lame, is there not parking close by so you could walk from there to the station? That's what it's like at home anyway... Next time though! Don't feel silly, these things happen. Anyway, you looked great despite not being able to go!
ReplyDeleteMan, that situation would have put me in quite a huff too. At least you got some pictures of your amazing outfit!

I'm really sad that you weren't able to go to your events in NYC. I know that you were very excited to go to them, and you had the perfect outfit too. Boo to no parking at train stations!
ReplyDeleteA inveja mata...
ReplyDeleteAww, sorry you missed it. But, you look nice in the printed dress. I also bring a jacket or scarf with me too, because I do get chilly regardless! Uggh, I hate missing the train.
