v-day with bob

The Pea is sick...the school called me while I was on my way home this evening, she had a fever. I don't think she is all that bad, but she is definitely not herself and I suspect we are in for a long night. Feeling a little blah myself...not sick, just down. Things are going reasonably well, but I have gotta be honest, not looking forward to my first Valentine's Day without a valentine in who knows how long. Not even a huge fan of the holiday, think it is one of those that is over commercialized and therefore not all that special, but nonetheless, wish I had a date...well, wish I had a date other than the Pea.

She will be accompanying me out Saturday night...still not positive what we will do, as many of our favorite places have "special menus" designed for lovahs...but we ARE going out, getting dressed up, and exchanging gifts (ok, I doubt she managed a shopping excursion without me, but SHE will be getting a Barbie Princess...shhhh, it's a surprise). I'm thinkin' despite it being SO not cool, that we will go early, beat the crowd...I figure: no one in restaurant, no happy couples to have to look at and be envious of, no wanting to vomit my dinner...win win for everyone.

For all of you thinking "Bob? What about Bob? Poor guy is gonna be all alone in the closet..." I made a deal with him...if he can manage to get me some chocolate and a bottle of wine, he is IN (and yes, pun intended).

I'll let you know how it goes...
