This makes me a fun-hater, doesn't it?
A conversation--
DH: Eat a snack on the 14th.
Me: What?
DH: There is no way for me to warn you without ruining the surprise. Eat a snack on the 14th.
Me: Valentine's Day? But we never do anything for Valentine's Day.
DH (a hint of exasperation in his voice): I wanted to do something for you, ok?
Later that night--
Me: If you want me to eat a snack, it means we have late dinner reservations?
DH (half asleep): Yup.
Me: 9?
DH: Nope.
Me: 10!?
DH: Yes.
Me: On a Tuesday? 10 PM??
DH: Yes. It is a special place and that's the only time they had available.
Me: Oh. Well, I bet if we went on the 15th or 16th, we could get a better time.
I think I heard DH emit a little growl after that.
This looks longer than I anticipated, but it's all typed out now, so that's what you get.
Re: This makes me a fun-hater, doesn't it?
Yes, it does. Let him do his thing, and shut up and enjoy it!
Also, I'm going to be in your neighborhood this weekend, yay! But I think we'll be all tied up, boooo!
10pm dinner! You need a dinner before that late of a dinner! Although nice dinners are always welcomed to me, no matter when they happen.
This was FI and I's conversation last night:
FI: We are doing anything for vday right? Like buying each other presents?
Me: No, what? We never do that. I would however really appreciate a box of vday peeps they are selling at the grocery store!
FI: Ohh I know about the peeps, I just wasn't sure about the gifts.
Every year he does this like somehow THIS year will be the year I'll want to celebrate vday.
We are however, partaking in our favorite "valentine" tradition, which was also one of our first dates. Our local SPCA does a "bark and wine with your valentine" usually the Thursday before vday where they do wine tastings (basically unlimited wine and snacks) for 3 hours while you get to hang out with puppies and see the dogs/animals they have up for adoption. I love this event! Wine, desserts and puppies? Yes please! This year they are actually holding it on vday.
I know, I know. Honestly, he's the one that has to get up early, not me, so a 10:00 weeknight dinner really should not bother me.
What are you coming down for? If you'll think you'll end up with any free time, let me know!
P.S. You look freaking adorable in your OOTD pic on ML.
Fun! I think it's really cute that you replicate your first dates so often. You two are gag-worthy to be around, aren't you?
Haha maybe we just had so much fun on those dates that recreating them is always a good time? I have a lot of fond memories of those early days! Actually we're not really lovey-dovey at all outside of the apartment when we're alone. I don't think so anyway!
No, just makes you a control freak. LOL. You cant deal with not knowing. I can relate (I check the bank account for the names of stores he shops in so I can guess what he bought me, he hasn't yet figured out thats what I do..ha!)
I hope its a great restaurant!
Wait, Muddled - you work from home too?Thank you!
We're having a sisters weekend. DH and my BIL's are going skiing in Vermont, so my sister from Boston and I are both driving into the city to hang out with my sisters and my niece.
Alisha- This one has nothing to do with my control freakness (although I could be blind to it?). I am good with not knowing where we are going and I do not snoop. I swear. DH thinks that I do, but I really don't. It's the fact that the time is 2 hours later than we normally eat and I have become a homebody and have trouble leaving my house that late. I can stay out once I'm out, but I have trouble motivating to leave the house after about 8 PM. Lame, I know. I am control freaky about where things go in the kitchen and stuff like that, though.
I used to work from home. At the current moment, I am just a mooch.
Motzie- That sounds fabulous. Enjoy it.
I don't think that's lame at all, I think that's more normal than you think. If DH asked me to go out at 9pm, Id be all "WTF? why so late??" - I get it. I do think that its harder to motivate when you're at home during the day. *Or at least for me it is...I used to go nuts to be out and about - now, I just want to stay in and watch a movie..that kind of thing.
If you don't want to go... I will.
I won't even see my husband so you are pretty lucky.
10pm on a worknight? I'd be a fun-sucker too.
Although H is the one that wouldn't even CONTEMPLATE going to dinner at 10pm on a worknight. He turns into a pumpkin by 11.
Currently Reading: Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes
lol. Your H is cute.
I work from home!
Did you just "at least" me? lol.
I would happily give you my dinner spot if it would make you feel better about not seeing your husband. I'm sure DH will be fine with it.
I don't even HAVE A HUSBAND, Muddled. How could you be so ungrateful?!?!
... but 10:00 on a week night, I'd be asleep in my salad, I think.
You do?! Okay, you have to tell me - how do you go about breaking your days up so you dont go completely crazy?
Also, Im not working from home for a long time, so Im still working on the getting structured better - being consistent with lets say, getting dressed! LOL
I am ashamed of myself. Thank you for setting me straight.
