Yes, that's right, we didn't make reservations for Valentines Day...I don't know why not. I don't think I was waiting for James to do it, and I don't think he was waiting for me. I think it was just one of those things that just never gets done! lol. On Friday, James found out no one had any reservations available...but that Razoo's and The Cheesecake Factory didn't take them, just first come-first serve. So we thought, eh...we'll go up to Cheesecake (at the mall) early, put our names in and then go get our tickets, check out some mattress stores, go buy me a dress (my present)...la di da, we'd be set. Holy crap, it was SO BUSY.
Well....it turned out to be a 2 - 2 1/2 hour wait...we put our names in and the hostess told us to come back in an hour to get a buzzer-thingy. So...with only an hour, we went over to get our movie tickets, and happened to walk past a mattress store...so we took a big chunk of time and tried out some Sleep Number beds....James is a 55, I am a 45 ;).
So, dinner turned out to take about 3 1/2 hours...but did I mind? Nope. I was with my sweetie. I think my upcoming trip to see family, the idea of not seeing him for 3 weeks....it was nice to just hang out with him, hold his hand and just be.
After dinner, we went and saw "My Bloody Valentine" which, thought it was a slasher-horror film, we laughed thru the whole thing. It wasn't cheesy...it was just FUNNY. The fact that it was in 3D was even more funny...with the ax getting thrown at your head...and sitting next to this dude saying to the screen "Girrrrrl, you better not look in that closet". It was just FUNNY. lol.Anyways, I couldn't have asked for a better Valentines Day.
And there were an abnormal amount of blackbirds hanging around that part of Arlington. They were everywhere. Very Alfred Hitchcock.

That's awesome.. :) I'm glad you got to spend time with James before we steal you away for 3 weeks! I wish I could be there for the whole time in Cedar.. but duty calls ;) I don't have that much time saved up.. haha
Yay for a date on Valentine's Day! What did ya get at Cheesecake Factory???
Logan and I were laughing at the people who didn't make reservations. They were all upset that the wait was over two hours. Sad, but hilarious to those who made reservations! :)
One year we went with the old people really early before everyone got off work since Trav can leave at three. It was great. But it wouldn't have worked this year since it was on Saturday. I had to work anyway. O-well. I'm glad you had a good time.
And you and your crazy Texas sideways lights;)
I'm so glad it worked out and that you have an amazing time! yes the black birds get worse in Fort Worth...but it always feel like the movie "The Birds"!
So fun! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Cheesecake factory, it's so awesome. And seriously, what IS it with the birds in Arlington? They are uber freaky. That was one of the first things Steven noticed when he visited me for the first time.
Yeah, Julie and I were each other's Valentine's dates. We walked in within two minutes of each other and were immediately sat at Mac's because we did have reservations. The others had to wait over an hour and a half.
Well Jenni already commented with my Valentine's Day dinner story :)
She was a great date.
