Almost a night out for dinner

Ev and I were going to go to a new restaurant for dinner. Well, we actually went, but we didn't get to have dinner. After waiting half an hour (not really a horrible wait) we were seated. The waitress took our order, which included iced tea for me and an appetizer. Ev already had a beer so he didn't need a drink when we sat down. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. After a while the waitress brought my tea and our salad, but no appetizer, and no entree. After waiting for over an hour at the table, a total of an hour and a half at the restaurant, we had enough. We asked for the manager and our check. The manager apologized and gave Ev the beer on the house. She blamed it on needed a new computer system, but the restaurant has only been open for 4 days - don't you think the computer system would be new? We had asked the waitress three times for our appetizer, to no avail. If she had been apologetic, even remotely, maybe we would have stuck it out, but enough was enough. I can't remember ever doing that before, and feel bad, but it wasn't our fault.

We didn't go home hungry. We stopped at Arby's! Hey, it was better than nothing...

While we were out, we had quite a thunderstorm. I told Ev we would be going home to a mess, because Ivy does not do well in storms when she is home along. She didn't disappoint us. She shredded a newspaper and the insert to one of his work boots. Destructo dog.
