DAY 22 - ANOTHER V-DAY DISASTER



Shirt and Shoes-F21, Bag-H&M, Pants-BCBG, Watch-Michael Kors

Good morning! I hope those of you living in the Midwest and back east are staying warm. Not to rub it in your face but the high today in Phoenix is going to be 50 degrees. That's actually 20 degrees colder than it was just a few days ago but it beats a couple of feet of snow.

So yesterday I promised another Valentine's Day story so here it is. Two years ago and 3 days before Valentine's Day, Andy and I were sitting on the couch talking. He asks if I think that he would need to make a restaurant  reservation for Valentine's Day.
My reply: You haven't made a reservation yet?
Andy: Uh, no. So you're saying I should make one?
Me (frustrated): If you haven't made one yet, there's no way you'll find anything good.
Andy: Yes I will. Don't worry.
A few hours pass.
Andy: I told you not to worry.  I've got a 6:00 reservation at a very cool restaurant.
Me: Wow, I'm impressed!
And I was impressed...until Valentine's Day arrives, we head to Old Town Scottsdale and we pull up to a tiki bar. Can I reiterate something?  It...was...a...BAR!!!  We walk in and the only people in there are the employees getting ready for the night. It was sooo embarrassing.  When he told one of the employees about the reservation I almost died!  We sat down and I stomached one of the worst Hawaiian meals I've ever had.

Make sure your husband and/or boyfriend knows that you need to make reservations AT LEAST a few weeks in advance. You'd think they would know that but...

My college boyfriend turned to me the day of and asked what I wanted to do that night. I stared at him open-mouthed thinking he was kidding. We ended up at Jack-in-the-Box.

So pretty similar to your bad Valentine's day.

Luckily my husband is not only older and wiser but a very good planner!

bahahaahah love the story! Sorry that's how it turned out. I'm certain my Vday will not even be that great...new BF means lots of uncertainty about what to do...new relationships are so awkward around Vday, no?
On a different note, you look absolutely adorably chipper! I like the happy outfit, it brightens the cold cold day here in the Northeast!
