Valentine's Day

Nothing interesting I tell ya.  Not that that is a bad thing.  Really, I knew it was coming.  So did Brent.  But all of the sudden last week was busy.  Really busy.  Brent was out of town until late, late, late Friday evening.  I hate it when he goes out of town for more than, oh one night.  I know, I need to deal with it.  Which I do.  Anyway, we decided to celebrate Valentine's Day on Saturday.  Oh, by the way.  I really do not like Valentine's Day, just so you know.  I don't know why.  Well really I do.  In the past I would always get my hopes up for things Brent should do for me, which he didn't because he is not a mind reader.  Such as....make reservations at some place and take me to dinner.  Nope..reservations did not happen.  But really it was the stupid restaurants fault because this was when they were not doing the reservations thing, it was a first come first serve thing.  I really, REALLY hate that.  Who wants to go sit in a restaurant for an hour waiting to eat?  Not me.  So we would do Wendy's.  Oh, and then it was flowers.  I am not sure what it was, but I wanted flowers delivered to me at work.  Well, he would have flowers waiting for me at the house or come home with flowers, but they were never delivered.  I know, I am shallow.  I have grown out of this.  Really I have.  I think I grew out of it when I worked in a restaurant playing my harp.  Oh, have I mentioned that playing my harp with a symphony or wind ensemble is not  my cup of tea?  I am just throwing it out there in case I have not mentioned it before.  Back on track....I really have grown out of this shallow phase.  Or, Brent has caught on that I like having flowers delivered.   No, I really don't care, just as long as he gets me flowers....which I absolutely loved.
But anyway, we decided to "celebrate" Valentine's day on Saturday.  I called and made a reservation to go get a massage for the two of us.  It was suppose to be Saturday night.  Yes, I did say suppose to be.  Garrett had a dance he was going to, so we wanted to see him off and get pictures.  We were running about 5 minutes behind.  What?  Did I say 5 minutes late?  Wow, that is sooooo not like us?  Brent called the place and said that we were running about 5 minutes late.  Guess what?  Our name was not listed as having a massage that night.  I was FURIOUS!!!  Ok, not quite that mad, but I was upset.  I seriously wanted to cry, but honestly, what good would crying do?  So I didn't.  Instead, I posted how mad I was with them on facebook...because this particular salon/spa is my friend on facebook.  No I was not hoping for anything free....they did not even contact me about posting how upset I was with them.  But, it was just a way to vent..and make me feel better.  Oh, but the girl did tell Brent she did have us down for a massage on Tuesday..at 9am!!!  Hello!!!! I did not make an appointment at that stupid hour.  First I am at work.  Secondly, I would have to get a sub to cover for me and I certainly would not make an appointment first and then get a sub.  Third....if I did have a sub, I would be sleeping in and getting a massage done later in the day.
Ok, I am not off my soap box and we shall never discuss that subject again.  BUT....we did go get dinner at The Sonora Grill in Ogden.  It was DELICIOUS!!!!  Brent had a tenderloin that nearly ranked up there with Ruth Chris Steakhouse.  It was to die for.  But first we had the tableside guacamole - it was wonderful.  I had an Agua Fresca to drink....really tasty (and yes, non-alcoholic).  I had Achiote Glazed Salmon....mmmm, very good.  To finish the dinner, we had Mango Tres Leches. Which was awesome!  I was stuffed.  We did not feel rushed, nor did they rush us.  Oh, and they bring the most awesome chips and salsa to your table.  Not normal chips. No these are the size of tostadas .  I definitely have to go back...it was that good.
An here is how Valentine's day went......work, lunch with Brent, run some errands, Acerplacer class (it's a class to help me test out of math...a very pricey class that is not done by Weber, but if it helps me test out..then it was worth it), my math class at Weber, Menchies with the kids and friends, out the kids to bed, and then a movie at our friends house at 10:30.  That was my Valentine's Day.  Oh, and Brent did send me flowers....he did try to have them delivered to me at work, but they never delivered them to my work, so they delivered them to the house.  They are beautiful I might add.  Sorry, no picture, it is on my phone and I am too lazy to upload it on here.  That takes effort and right now...nope I don't feel like doing anything that require effort.  Okay, off to practice the harp :)  (I know, this takes effort, a lot of effort.  A LOT!!!)
