delayed V-day post

i realize this post is 10 days late. but i've had a headache (migraine) that has prevented me from participating in my extracurriculars (this blog, exercising, and drinking wine). nevertheless, i wanted to share with you some of the highlights of my first valentine's day with michael.

• 3 days prior to v-day i mention v-day to michael who responds "i don't celebrate that babe but i'll hang out with you that night if you want." he said the same thing about Christmas so I assume he's planning something
• vday morning i call michael and review plans for the day. he does not acknowledge vday or ask what my plans are for that night
• since i've convinced myself that he's planning a surprise i have no qualms going about my day
• 1-2 PM mani/ped (red of course)
• 2-2:15 pick up the pictures for michaels present
• 2:15-4 shop with beth at the outlet for new work clothes
• 4ish -michael calls and asks when i'm headed home from the outlet. i reply coyly "idk. i didn't think we had plans." he says paraphrasing "i figured you could come over and we'd grab dinner and then maybe go out." i have a mild anger seizure and quickly hang up the phone.
• 4:15-4:45 go on an angry rant to beth about how he really didn't plan anything
• 5 head home because i'm too upset to shop anymore
• on and off from about 6-7, call and argue with michael about where we are going to eat since every where will be packed. i believe he suggested applebees. loudly say WHATEVER and hang up.
• 7:30 arrive at michaels to a candlelit surf and turf dinner with wine and champagne. it couldn't have been more perfect.

So I was pretty embarassed. He had it planned the whole time and I acted like a COMPLETE baby. It's a funny story though that I'm glad I got to share with you. His thoughtfulness is unbelievable..and he's gonna kill me for this...but he's also very romantic. Here's a picture of the only dessert that has ever made me cry...literally...I burst into tears when i saw it. too cute.
