I kind of get the impression that it comes down to not wanting to meet anywhere but in the Orange County area. Especially now that I see that the meetup location has been changed to Yorba park. I'm sorry if this sounds petty or whiny, but I'd be lying if I said my feelings weren't hurt by basically being told by a couple of people that they didn't believe me when I said it wasn't raining here.
Anyway, have fun tomorrow! |
Misty - I'm so sorry you feel that way. It has nothing to do with not wanting to make the drive. Matt and I just got home after driving around since 10:00 this morning (I had all the meet-up stuff with me in preparation to go), so driving is definitely not a problem for us. Actually, according to Mapquest, the Chino Hills park is only 1.5 miles farther from my house than the Yorba park, so it really makes no difference to me which one I drive to. And if driving was a problem, we wouldn't have attended the meet-up in Huntington Beach in July! As Lauren said, the reason we discussed changing the meet-up to Yorba tomorrow is because it looked like it was just going to be the 2 of us since you had already told me you couldn't go tomorrow, she couldn't get ahold of Meg and Ronda, and I know Yorba is a little closer for Lauren. I actually told Lauren that we should have it at Chino Hills if it meant more people could come (which may be the case since Ronda said she could come if we have it at Chino Hills tomorrow), and Lauren agreed that was no problem, because we'd rather have more people there.
As for not believing you that it wasn't raining there, that's not the case at all. It's not that I didn't believe you that it wasn't raining there at the time we talked on the phone this morning, but even the meteorologists often don't know when/if it's going to rain, so all we have to go on is what the current conditions are and what the likely forecast is. Given that yesterday it poured all evening and night with only a 20% chance of rain for yesterday, then the fact that it rained here this morning at about 11:00, and the fact that it gave a 40% chance of rain for today in Chino Hills was reason enough to believe that we may get wet. I'm sorry if we were wrong and that ultimately did not happen, but personally, I cannot predict the future. Also, I just gave Sukoshi a bath, and I really didn't want her dodging mud puddles in an attempt to have fun! I'm so sorry you feel this was an effort to not believe you when you said it wasn't CURRENTLY raining.
The likelihood in SoCal is that once it starts raining, it moves EAST, and it hits us all. Maybe you didn't get hit like the rest of us last night, but if you had all the rain and lightening that it sounds like Ronda, Lauren, and I all got (like I said in an earlier post, it even woke me up and knocked out our electricity at 4:00 in the morning), then maybe you would better understand where we're coming from. I'm sorry you and Chloe were by yourself today, but I did give you advance notice that Lauren and I weren't going to risk the rain and were going to meet tomorrow instead. It sounds like you and your son had a nice day at the park though, so it wasn't a wasted trip.
