I cried over a bagel today

I wanted a bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich on a toasted everything bagel this morning for breakfast. I have all of the middle ingredients, but only plain bagels (they don't sell everything bagels at the store or else I would have just went and bought some), so I was determined to get exactly what I wanted. I called my girlfriend and off we went on a search.

There is one place in NOLA on Magazine Street that has bagels shipped in from NY on a daily basis... obviously delicious.. that is where my heart was set on. I get there - they closed down last month! WTF! So I huffed and puffed then decided to go to Einstein Bagels instead - 4 attempts at finding 2 different stores later I got no Einstein Bagel because one was closed for renovations and the other one just did not exist. I found one last bagel shop that I had high hopes for - there was some ridiculous rally about freeing Palestine and all of the roads around it were blocked off by horse cops because it was basically turning into a riot. I wanted this bagel, but I'm not getting trampled by horses or crazy people.

2 HOURS later I still had no bagel and I was beyond starving. I finally parked the car in an area near Cafe du Monde and was going to settle for the next place I could find that had any food. I got up to the counter to order and on the menu they had everything bagels and breakfast sandwiches! I was ecstatic! So I ordered it.... they had just 10 minutes earlier ran out of that type of bagel. I stood at the counter and just started crying. My poor friend must have been embarassed and I know the chick behind the counter felt terrible. I ended up just having a Western omelette with grits and a biscuit, which was delicious, but I was definitely upset... and then realized that I should probably be embarassed at my reaction..haha. Oh well, I guess I'll try again next weekend.

    awww! I have yet to hit the crying in public phase, it's all been at home with my DH to console me. I know how it is to be so determined to get an item at the worst time. Mine was a couple years ago during Tropical Storm Fay here in Florida. I wanted so badly to have Starbucks and just about every one was closed. On my way to the last possible Starbucks in town, I drove down a flooded street at night. Luckily I had three burly men with me to jump out of the car, into the flooded road, and push my car out for me. I cried because I swore my car was done for [and I'm still making payments on it].

    Luckily all was well. And if it makes you feel better, next time you get the craving for this bagel sandwich, you know exactly where to head to first! No more searching.

    I can see crying over something like that. 
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    Yeah- I can see crying over that too. All that effort to end up with something else?

    I would have cried, too.  But it would have happened at Einstein Bagel.

    this has happened to me.. and everytime i cry, my mother tells me my DD will be pitiful when she comes..

    i've cried over keys that i didn't lose but ended up missing,

    i've cried over the fact the debit card machine wasn't working at school, and i wanted a pop tart,

    i've cried over the fact my keys have been stuck in the ignition..

     

    face it. it happens.. happens to me all the time.. and i hate it. why, because i don't too much cry about anything.. and now i'm the biggest crybaby known to earth..
