Weekend Updates

 Thursday:
SNOW DAY! We woke up late, and then RJ made these amazing bacon bowls- bacon, egg, cheese, and sriracha- amazingggg! I swear he can make something out of nothing- definitely a skill I'm trying to pick up! The rest of the day was spent lounging around the apartment, watching the snow and TV, and relaxing.

Friday:

We had a very casual Valentine's Day. We decided not to do gifts, just cards (I'm a sucker for a good card). I was a little upset during the day because I didn't get flowers delivered to work, and RJ kept texting me like "What time do you leave work? (5) Did you leave yet? (5:05- and no), and then I told him when I actually left. I thought maybe he was here and trying to surprise me, but I was wrong. And I got over it by the time I got home. But then RJ came over and was like "I'm sorry I'm late... I was really upset and didn't want you to see me that angry." Apparently he DID order me flowers- my favorite flowers, and the florist just didn't deliver them! I saw a pic of the flowers and the receipt- he had ordered them over a week ago! That alone made me smile from ear to ear. He is getting a refund though, so that's good. Then we ordered Pizza Hut, had a few beers, watched some TV and fell asleep on my air mattress- oops!

Saturday: 

First off, thank you for your input regarding outfits last week-- I went with the work outfit! 

RJ made reservations at a fancy schmancy restaurant in NYC. I was kind of not too excited to go, since it was snowing... AGAIN. But I pulled myself together because he really put in effort getting these reservations. We decided to head in a little early and have some drinks beforehand. Well, that didn't go over well, and we were already fighty by the time we got to the restaurant. And then the damn tables were so squished together that when I was getting into my seat, my purse accidentally knocked the table next to ours, and spilled the guy's red wine ALL OVER HIS LAP. I was so embarrassed. And annoyed. And then I was just like screw this- we're going home. So we did. ::end scene::

Sunday:

Headed over to RJ's parents house for lunch, and I was able to do my laundry. Then we stopped at his friend's house, and he gave me a brand new North Face fleece for free!!! He said he had bought it for his girlfriend for Christmas, but they broke up before the holiday, and it was just sitting in his closet and he didn't want it there anymore. I don't know why he didn't just return it, as it still has all the tags on it, but I was going to argue! 

After that we went to a bar where his two friends were bartending. I thought it would be more crowded since so many people would be off on Monday, but it was pretty quiet. Which is how I spotted his ex so quickly. Why is it that when you run into people you don't want to see, you look like a disheveled mess? Is that just me? Luckily someone called me, so I had an excuse to go outside. And then I stopped in the bathroom on my way back in and put on some makeup. RJ was like... "did you really just put on makeup because she's here? Why do you care? I'm here with you!" Ok, he had a point... but still. Men just don't get it!

Anyway, stopped off for some food, and then watched The Walking Dead. I still am not caught up, so some things were really confusing, but I kinda love it!

Monday:

I had off, and was originally planning on relaxing all day. I had been looking forward to it all weekend. But my mom called Sunday night and told me that my aunt was really sick, and I should try to get to the hospital. So I did. And then RJ took me out to dinner to make up for Saturday night. I had the most amazing paella EVER. Seriously, so good, and the portions were huge!
