So, Hunger Games comes out today.
My sister and had been talking about seeing this movie together forever. I even let her borrow her my book so she could read it before we went.
We had previously agreed when tickets went on pre-sale that we didn't want to go opening night because it would just be silly with the crowds. So we were going to wait a week, so knowing that I went ahead and made plans to go out tonight.
So just now, I'm sitting here at my desk, and my sister walks up to me flaunting a piece of paper...
It's a ticket for tonight's showing of Hunger Games. For her and our mutual friend.
.... WTF?
Apparently our prior plans were null and void when she decided she no longer wanted to wait to see the movie, so she and my friend then discussed this and went ahead to get tickets for tonight. Without me. Without talking to me about the change of plans. Because I now had other plans.
When I voiced my distaste for her decision, she shot back at me that I had plans, they wanted to go, and if the roles were reversed I would have done it to her.
Umm, no.
So now I am fuming.
Pissed.
I know - it's only a flippin' movie. But it's the principle of the matter.
It's hard enough getting the time to go out with my friends to see a movie, so now, what, I have to go by myself? Chris has offered to go see it with me, but in order for us to do that we would need to get a sitter, and I feel like we've been doing that more often than not lately, especially with PAX and Vegas coming up.
I am just so f*ckin' mad right now.

My sister and I made plans to go see it next Wednesday and I'd be really upset if she called today and was like "hey! going to see it with a friend instead!"
I'd be as pissed as you are. And I think it's annoying that she doesn't think that it's a big deal to back out on plans with you like that. I'd be hurt.

not nice, MB's sister. Not nice at all.
I don't know if she thought I would be fine with her decision because I had other plans, and you know, because she's my sister and she can do no wrong... but then to get defensive and unapologetic when I call her out on her rudeness??
The best part is that my mom is 2 cubes down, and clearly heard what went on. Did she say anything to her about her decision to ditch me? NOPE! Sure, we're adults, but I know sure as day that if it was reversed, and I WAS the one to get a ticket without my sister, my mother would be on my arse about it.
I give up, man....

That's sh!tty, MB. I would be really mad too.
And if I lived in Boston, I'd go see it with you, because it was really good and I want to see it again. ((hugs))
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
As if guilt would work on her...
And she's copped out of watching Sam by herself so many times now I refuse to ask her. Giving me excuses about how she doesnt have a carseat should something happen, or she doesn't feel comfy changing a diaper, and other bullsh*t such as that does not make me want to leave my daughter alone with her any more, movie or not...

Boo
Just bring Samma with...in the long run the movie will make her appreciate her life more, it being reaping/Hunger Games free and all 
This almost made me spit out my sandwich.
That does suck though MB, I'd be pretty pissed to.
