Today is a gorgeous day, and I wish I had the day off for the holiday like a lot of people do. Do you ever wonder why there are certain national holidays that only some people get to take off? Yes, I’m jealous on days like today. It’s really dumb and I shouldn’t be, but I am. So there.
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and I didn’t want to be anyone’s Valentine, but I guess the Bulldog had a different plan. Okay, that’s not entirely true. Yes, I did want to be someone’s Valentine, but I wanted to be the Valentine of someone who LOVES me and vice versa.
Funny weekend. Flash back to Friday. I could tell that the BD kind of wanted to do something, but I just wanted to go home and veg and that’s exactly what I did. Well, that and I drank the better part of a bottle of champagne while talking with the BD on the phone.
Then Saturday, the BD and I ended up going to brunch as I wanted to scope out this restaurant that’s on our list for Brunch Upon a Time club. They have a CHAMPAGNE BAR! It was wonderful and of course, the BD and I had a fantastic time as we always do. Back to his place where we messed around and then he took me home so I could get some stuff done in time to meet [Athena] for the Chinese New Year Festival close to my place. The BD said he wanted to go to the festival, too, but I guess he got busy doing other things (which you’ll hear about in a minute).
Had plans for lunch with my parents and decided to invite the BD just because. You know, because it was a nice thing to do on V. Day when you don’t have a Valentine, right? So. I told him I’d pick him up at 10:30 in the AM, and of course, he said he wasn’t ready. So I stopped at the Trader Joes to pick up some tulips for mums and pops and then got to the BD’s place.
OF COURSE, he had fooled me! He was all ready, had flowers, had GOOD, EXPENSIVE Champagne, had fucking baked me a peach and blueberry cake/tart from scratch (!!!), and had MADE me a hand-written card. Holy EFF!!!
And I. I had nothing. NOTHING!! I was so embarrassed that I didn’t even really wish him a happy v. day. Oh my god, what an ASSHOLE I am. I told him that I felt awful and that we weren’t supposed to be each others’ Valentines! :(
And his reply was, “Well, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.”
And I guess that’s true. What a tricky day for people who are in ambiguous relationships.
Lunch and the afternoon with my parents was really fun for me. I hope it was for the BD as well. I told him that he was going to be my surprise guest…because it was true! I hadn’t told my parents that he was coming with me!
We went to lunch at the beer garden and had some laughs and went for a nice walk (great weather) to the lake and hung out for a while. My parents really like him, despite the quirks, and seriously, if this guy would get it together with regards to feeling OK about me and not feeling “weird” about me, I think we could have a good thing.
Alas, together we make a super weird couple-ish kind of thing and I don’t even have any more to say about that right now.
OK. Need to work some more.
Hope YOUR Valentine’s Day was amazing.
XO,
GS
