Arrive home just before midnight (on Friday the 13th, oddly enough) after just breaking up with the boyfriend. Angry and sad.

Drove to Raleigh to celebrate an early Valentine's Day with dinner at The Melting Pot, etc. Got into a . . . spat? something on the way there. After arriving, boyfriend decides to turn around a come home because "the day is shot." Of course we resolved our issues a couple of hours later, but had nothing to do since we were no longer in Raleigh.

Boyfriend gave me custom-made earrings. Two hours later we break up and he asks for them back so he can return them and get a refund.

Boyfriend in training at Ft. Benning. He sends me roses and a necklace. Mark's fiance is in Afghanistan so we go to dinner since we are both without our significant other. Strictly platonic.

I make a surprise indoor picnic of gourmet finger-foods to be waiting when boyfriend gets home. Boyfriends best friend calls me and tells me he is getting home early. I scramble to finish. When he isn't home an hour later I call the friend and he was just joking. The food is cold by the time boyfriend gets home.

Boyfriend takes me to Lexington for Valentines Dinner. It is Sunday, so the restaurant he was planning on was closed. This hit a sore spot for him and made him feel like a failure so on the way to find another place to eat he drives badly, looses his temper, and we get into a fight. We finally find a place to eat.

I go on a Valentine's "date" with Lucy. I buy her a flower and card and we go to Applebees. I think it was my treat. I was playing the part of the "guy" that day. Then I pick up my crush from work and take him a flower, too. 2004 crush is same as 2005 boyfriend. ;)

Plan a lovely evening in Cincinnati with boyfriend. Reservations at Benihana, and tickets to the ballet. Adam makes me a lovely full length dress. Silk. Red and white. I forget the direction to the restaurant at home, so we try to print them out on the Rini's computer. It literally takes almost half an hour because it is so slow! We are late and miss our reservations. We walk around downtown looking for an alternate place to eat. We finally find one and order our food. It comes and then the fire alarm goes off. We all wait outside. It starts to rain. Finally, we are let back in. Food is cold but okay. We finish eating, but we've missed the ballet. We go home.
That concludes the history of valentine's days during my adult life.

ReplyDeleteWhat about the fun Valentine's day we had in high school. I don't remember what year. Adam, you, and I all brought food and you helped me buy a Valentine's outfit. We ate outside of Model without being too cold. Everyone thought it was really fun!
ReplyDeleteOh and I don't know how you can remember all this!!!
