For Valentines, Adam suprised me and made me a delicious breakfast in bed! I don't know if I've ever had breakfast in bed-- but that is the way to wake up! Yummy fluffy pancakes and bacon and hash browns. Mmmmm. It was good. My husband is quite the chef.
When we fininshed eating he got up and said he had to go somewhere. I asked when he would get back and he said, "In three years. December 31, 2011." He said if he didn't go stop the meteor/alien/armageddon it would come smashing into earth and ruin our way of life. I asked why he couldn't just let Will Smith do it (he always saves the planet) but Adam said that this was his call. And he would've told me sooner but I would've thwarted the plan (sure, a low blow since I'm always the one hiding in the rocket ready to thwart the earth-saving missions...). He said he hoped I could learn to drive a clutch in three years because he was taking my car and leaving me with his. And with that he put on his hat, put in a piece of gum, kissed me goodbye and bolted down the hall. And faintly somewhere someone was singing, "I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep cause I'd miss you, baby....."
What's a girl to do? Apparently in my case, it was the dishes. That way my hero could come home to a nice clean house.
Lo and behold, saving the planet only took him a half hour and when he returned he was carrying this:
Ah! It's a great day to get roses from the one you love. There were so many Valentine's where I watched friends and co-workers and roommates get flowers and I gotta say, it's nice to be on the flip side. I sure love how great Adam always makes me feel.
Later for our Valentines date we wanted to see a movie (that started right at 7:00) and go to dinner before that. We thought that leaving our house at 4:00 would give us plenty of time to eat but restaurant after restaurant ended up being packed (one had a four hour wait!) and we spent a lot of time driving around to find one.
In the end we decided to go cheap and simple with some good old B&D Burgers. Good thing we're easy to please. Tasted delicious. Almost as delicious as the face I got to stare at as I ate. Mmmm.
All in all it was a great day. Hope yours was just as wonderful!
Looks like you guys did V-day right:) I love breakfast in bed but my problem is that after my stomach is full and want to roll over and go back to sleep.
ReplyDeleteYou guys went to B&D's too! We did too! It has got to be the greatest place in the entire world! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me so stinkin' happy to see that you had your camera out in time to get a picture of Adam bringing you breakfast in bed! It's even a little blurry . . . like your glasses aren't on yet, or the sleep hasn't been wiped from your eyes. :) You totally rock.
ReplyDeleteWow, you really do capture a picture of everything! You must have heard him banging around in the kitchen, looks like you were prepared. Or maybe you sleep with your camera?
ReplyDeleteI love that you got fast food. Thats the way I see it, eating out fancy on valentines day is not worth braving the crowds.
I know, I know, its a little embarrassing that I have my camera with me THAT much, isn't it?? (em, i liked your description of the no-contacts blur!). In truth, he came in the room to set up a TV tray next to my side of the bed so that woke me up. Then he left to get the food and my purse was by my nightstand (arm's reach people! i'm tellin you!) so I grabbed it out and snapped this just as he got back in :) But, rach, I love the thought that I'm sleeping with my camera and happen to roll over with my finger on the trigger button ready to snap. Ah, the dream. You guys make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Breakfast in bed is always great. I love that you had your camera handy--what a great memory to catch. Love the comment about the "pre-contact" blur. Ha ha. Also, I think I got that exact same flower arrangement for valentines day too. Gotta love Costco flowers!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
ReplyDeleteSo, do you sleep with your camera?
