Feb. 1 -- Sunday

So much for my "everything" present:
Matt and I had purchased tickets to the Quantum Leap Convention. It was to be my birthday, anniversary, mother's day, christmas, valentines and another birthday present for me to get to go to this particular convention to meet Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell and a lot of other actors and actresses that were on the show. Donald Bellasario was also going to be there and I was going to be able to meet all of them. It will be taking place March 27 - 29. I have the tickets, but nothing else. I don't have a place to stay (hotel cost is about $169 a night), the money to take to eat (at this point, I'd sneak bread and peanut butter and jelly and live on that for those days), nor an air ticket to get there (around $254 for a round trip for me alone).

I'll not be going now. Just don't have the money. So... yeah.

I'm upset. I'm very disappointed. A year of hope - flushed down the damn drain.
