Valentine's Day part 2
Ok, my night sucked.
First, I think I am fighting some kind of bug. I feel like dog doookie. I havent actually gotten sick, but intense stomach pain from chest down. Bloated feeling, hurts to breath, hurts all way in my back, nausea. My stomach just keeps rolling and rolling :( I have taken zantac, tums, gaviscon, pepto, you name it. I had my gallbladder out over a year ago. Anyway I've been fighting this for two days.
So the day didnt start out great, was feeling icky, but I sucked it up and decided to put mind over matter. Yeah.
But there was good in the day.
H gave me my gift when he was home for lunch, he couldn't contain himself any longer , lol :) He wrote me a letter telling me how much he loves me, how sorry he is, and how thankful he is for me. That was good :) And a stuffed Pepe' Le Pu :) LOL ok first let me say I have always like Pepe', when we have talked about the 'oldies' cartoons lol ok so theres that,, but he explained his thought process in buying this for me.
Ding ding ding! Hell that is another point in and of itself,, he put thought into this silly little gift,, and communicated his thoughts about it to me!
First because he was a skunk for cheating. Ok , and then it was really important to hear the actual messages Pepe' delivered. lol Ok first of all , pepe is holding a flower pulling the petals off, think child hood game, he loves me, he loves me not, ok. And then Pepe' says " I pick you, I pick you again. See, I always pick you"
I laughed and cried. Over such a silly little thing. Pepe' in his accent also says " I love you, I love you more. I kiss you, I kiss you more. Muamuamua. " lol theres a third message I don't remember.:)
Not extravagant. Not expensive. But meaningful, he thought about what he wrote, and the skunk :)
Ok so I didn't give him his gift at lunch. I told him he had to wait. Really because it wasn't ready yet, lol.
Ok so let me set it up. First as I mentioned I completely cleaned our bedroom top to bottom, which is usually last on list, and tends to collect a lot of " I dont know what to do with this crap" crap lol.
Since moving back to kansas, and the gutting and remodeling of the house we had to do, our bedroom walls are still mostly bare, while I try to decide what I want. Even the couple things on wall on my side are kind of just after thoughts. They are paintings my mom did, they dont really go with anything, but I don't know where to put them and I can't bear thought of packing them away, anyway. H's side was bare.
H has always liked Marylin Monroe. He has always said he wanted a picture of her hanging in house. I always balked for one cuz didn't go with decor. lol I mean if he were single his room would look like a dorm room with posters just tacked to walls, ugh lol.
Anyway, thanks to a new pintrest addiction, I came up with perfect gift. and cost next to nothing to boot :) I found tons of classic pin-ups from the 304050's . Plus a good one of marylin. I selected the best match for color scheme and tastefulness and printed them out with my photo printer and good paper. Nine altogether, with marylin as centerpiece. I bought cheap floating frames from walmart at 1.97 each!
When H got home from work the bedroom was all clean, bed all made with fresh linens clean duvet cover and shams. His chocolates were laying on his pillows, the ghiradelli, plus I found some belgium chocolates yesterday when I was out. Plus the champagne flutes were propped up there with Pepe' :). I had hung all the pictures on his side, looked good I thought :0 He was surprised! he loved it, even took a pic, so I will try to find it and post here later.
He was impressed with the thought and effort that went into it. I was impressed with the thought that went into his gift giving. win/win
That was at 5.
We had dinner reservations for 7. We debated even going, because truthfully I felt like crap. But I decided I was going to feel like crap whether I ate or not, and is H's favorite place to eat now. New place. So I sucked it up and we went. And I had made up my mind, remember, this was going to be a good vday. uh huh
We should have stayed home.
First we had to wait even though we had reservation. ok. Finally get seated at the table right there by the door and cashier and people lined up waiting. Not a good spot, uncomfortable. Few minutes later another table opened up and we moved. Ok better.
Finally get waitress. She is scattered. We order. She first tells us they out of baked potatoes, ok so h orders the scalloped. We order appetizers, supposed to be sampler platter, but then she comes back from kitchen says they out of stuffed mushroom what do you want to sub? ok onion rings I prefer them anyway, really good homemade. Ok then she comes back again a few min later, they also out of the wings for sampler platter what else I want to sub? umm ok the cheesy jalapeno bacon fries, plus supposed to come with mozzarella sticks. ok whatever.
We also supposed to have salads. So while we sitting there waiting, a couple comes in sits at table behind H. Same waitress comes over tells them yes we do have baked potatoes. Then couple minutes later, the lady from the table gets up and walkes into kitchen, idk who she is or who she knows, but she comes back with hers and her h's salads. mind you at this point we have been there 35 minutes no salads, same with table behind us, and she's been there less than 5.
45 min in waitress shows up with appetizers, burnt onion rings, cold jalapenos fries, and no mozzarella sticks. no plates no silverware, no sauces. I ask what about salads, she disappears, 10 min later we still havent seen her again, by this point I am done
We left.
Now usually I am the calm one, I know restaurants. H is usually impatient one. But last night was reversed, he was trying to smooth things over make it a good night, but I was having none of it.
I didn't feel good anyway, shouldn't have went, H tried to take me somewhere else nothing sounded good. He says what do you want? I said I want to go home and eat peanut butter and jelly and drink a glass of milk and go to bed. He was like whatever you want to do that's what we're doing I want to do it with you. Ya know A for effort, but at that point, just leave me alone.
We came home, Funnily H did make me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and glass of milk, and I was asleep by 930.
And up at 4 still feeling like crapola.grrr

Sorry things didn\'t go well for you. Sometimes the forces just conspire to do their worst. At least hubby stepped up. I hope you feel better soon!
Well it actualy sounds imperfectly perfect. You were sick but all that mattered is that you both put the thought into the other person. It could have been a disaster but he saved it and you got to sleep some of this virus off. Feel better
While the restaurant restaurant scenario ws definitely a fiasco - I do see a lot of positives that came out of this day. The thoughts that you both put into your gifts to each other were appreciated and welcomed by you both. That\'s a big accomplishment! I\'m sorry you\'re not feeling well - I\'d blame it on me if we lived closer together. Feel better soon!
Hugs. Hope you get better soon!! The gifts sound perfect. It really is the thought that counts. If only all those men running around the grocery store yesterday morning frantically trying to grab the last bunch of flowers understood that. All we want is them to THINK ABOUT US then put those thoughts into action.
Awww, that was sweet with Pepe! Through it all, I\'ll bet his thoughtfulness made everything else seem merely annoying. :)
Sorry you\'re not feeling very good. I went through that last week. While the day didn\'t end as expected, sounds like overall it was a good day. One ditsy waitress spoils the evening. ug.
I liked hearing about what you said to each other. Have that special night together when you\'re feeling better. I am so missing having a partner at the moment. Hold him tight :)
sorry you felt like crap but I do like that your H put so much thought in to your gift and to what he wrote. Definitely tells me the is thinking about you and what you mean to him.
Get better soon!!
I think you have a funny story to tell ! I didn\'t feel good either and stayed in my room all night. Someone else told me they got rotten service at a restaurant. They should staff up a little better. Managers should get off their asses and make sure food is coming out right. They should also be walking the floor checking on diners. Usually when a waitress is in the weeds.... the whole place is breaking down. The managers should be picking up any slack when they are overwhelmed. I was a waitress/bartender for 15 yrs
WEll that restaurant favoritism really did suck! I don\'t care if she was the owner\'s daughter or relative, or best friend. That was really rude, and inconsiderate to bring out things after they were already announced, as out! And then all those substitutions, and cold or burnt stuff! Puhllleeeeeeze! I would have lost my patience and walked out too, and told them thatk the crap back, and where are my free drinks for the inconvenience and poor treatment. I definitely wouldhave talked to the manager on duty! I always pass on positive comments on a regular basis, about 75% ofthe time we go out, but when it sucks, I make sure to let them know politely, that service was poor, and the food was inexcusable!
Now as far as the rest of your V-day gift, and bedroom...sounds awesome and was very sweet! And just smiling thinking of Pepe, le pieu!
