Did you ever have one of those moments where you remember something being much better than it actually is later on in life?
You know, those times where you remember a TV show or movie being funny, only to find out later in life upon watching it again that it wasn't. Or that restaurant you once loved has become a complete and utter disappointment. Or that relative you thought was funny turns out not to be funny at all.
I experienced one of those moments last night. After spending the day at the Seattle zoo and attending a service at Mars Hill we headed for home. There's a new Carl's Jr so I was able to convince Erin (she hates the place) that we should stop (I think she loves me too much sometimes, because she lets me do things like this).
I ordered my jalapeño burger and my chili cheese fries and then settled in for what I was thinking would be a great meal.
Not so fast. In fact, I'd easily rank it as one of the worst meals I have ever eaten.
Soggy buns, bland chicken, terrible service, tasteless fries...shall I continue.
It was the first time in a long time that I actually didn't even finish my meal.
So, when was the last time you were disappointed by something you thought was going to be good?

I totally know that feeling, it happens all to many times. I look forward to date night so much that I think I make it out to be something it will not. Just last week we rented a movie and when the movie was FINALLY over we looked at each other and said ... "That was two hours of my life completely wasted." The upside was that fact that we had a good laugh because we were both thinking the exact same thing.
Transformers 2 . . .
I'm hoping that GI Joe won't disappointed. But I'd almost be willing to place money on it sucking.
