first of all, i had gotten a hotel suite at the hilton about 3 weeks before valentines, because i wanted to make this one better than the year before (i was sick with a bad cold.) but of course i couldnt keep the secret and i told taylor about the reservation a few days before. he was pretty excited :) we both think that staying at a hotel is pretty cool; it makes you feel important for a day. i got the "romance package" ..kinda cheesy but it included a dozen chocolate covered strawberries, a bottle of champagne (that we didn't drink), and breakfast in bed the next day. but we ended up just going down to the restaurant, because we wanted the buffet.
on his side, taylor made reservations at Luigi's, my favorite restaurant in town. its a little italian place that is pricey and gets booked early, so i was really happy that he thought ahead and we got to sit down right when we got there. I ordered the seafood stuffed crepes, and he got the salmon. he also got us a bottle of our favorite wine, moscato. try it. i'm telling you, even if you dont like wine, you'll like moscato. the best part of the night was the culmination of a mistake on my part, but it was hilarious:
before our food came-
taylor - "i dont remember what sides come with my food."
me - "pretty sure its mashed potatoes and steamed veggies, i remember looking"
taylor - "oh cool."
our food comes, waiter leaves-
taylor to me - "where's the mashed potatoes?"
* i look at the white puddle on taylor's plate*
me - "right there i guess" *points at said puddle*
taylor - "that's what i figured, it just doesn't look like mashed potatoes"
me - "well take a bite, i bet its just fancy potatoes"
*taylor takes bite*
taylor - "s'more like whipped-into-a-frenzy potatoes"
nikki- "...huh..well, i guess that's just how they make it"
later, when waiter comes back to see how the food is... taylor has eaten all of the potatoes
taylor - "hey, can you tell me how yall make the mashed potatoes?"
waiter - "potatoes? i'm not sure..do you want me to bring you a side order?"
taylor - "no mine were good."
*blah blah blah, figuring out that he wasn't eating potatoes..blah blah blah*
waiter - "you didn't have potatoes, that was just a cream sauce for your salmon"
taylor - "great! thank you very much!"
waiter leaves
*taylor stares at me with a mixture of amusement and exasperation*
me - "glad you liked your cream sauce..heh heh"
taylor - "i feel like an idiot"
me - "the waiter definitely doesn't think you are. promise."
a little later
taylor - "the salmon is pretty dry"
me - "too bad you ate all the fancy mashed potatoes already"
taylor - "har har"
it just struck me funny that i made him eat cream sauce bite-by-bite all by itself. yum. i couldnt stop laughing at him.
but all in all, it was a great valentines. I also heard the next day that my cousin and his girlfriend of 7 years got engaged. not cliche at all guys :) but i still love you and i'm so excited for yall! (and hopefully me and taylor wont be too far behind!)
AND i am officially down 10 pounds! Oreos can suck it :)
