Valentine's Day NOMS!

Today my boyfriend of 3.5 years took me out to dinner. We went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. It's a small steakhouse chain based in the East Coast. The meal was wonderful, he even ordered for me. I don't eat steak often, but when I do it is awesome. I wore my black Calvin Klein dress, black stockings, pearl earrings and (get this) bright turquoise stilettos. Lol, I didn't want it to look like I was going to some ritzy funeral. I hid my septum piercing. I had such a good time. We celebrated early because he works late on Mondays. He's a cop and cops really need to get paid more for what they do.

I have mixed feelings about the service. We called in on Thursday to make reservations for Saturday. Once we got there our table wasn't ready. First they led us to a table that was bare; no glasses, napkins or silverware. Then we went to a tiny round table in the middle of the floor. Does anyone else feel awkward eating in the dead center of a restaurant? Then finally a manager asked us to move to slightly larger square table next to the wine room. The room had a huge window so we could see all the stored stacks of wine. The last table was perfect but it took them ages to get us there. Our waitress was over the top with the refinery too, to the point where I thought she was mocking it. We weren't paying her to look like an idiot. The food was wonderful so I guess it made up for everything.

The only thing I regret about the night was the bill. It was expensive. I don't want to say how expensive because it's bad taste, but it was up there. I told him all I wanted for Valentine's day is chocolates and a blender to make smoothies in the morning, but he insisted on taking me out. I'm grateful for him. It's hard cause he's the only one working right now. But I'm glad he still makes room for these special times for me.

  1. That is so sweet that he did that for you :) I know how it is with him being the only one working. I'm on the west coast right now and Chris, my hubby, is in the Marine Corps so it's not like there's a whole lot of choices to go get a job right here. I agree with you that Cops should get paid more for what they do, as well as Marines. Anyone who is teaching, or protecting our country whether its outside our boarders or within. :)
    I'm glad y'all had special time with each other.
