last minute leroy

Is that a thing? You know, like Debbie Downer? Last minute Leroy? Well if it isn't, I just made it one. 

I told Andre' around 10 times this week that I did not want to go out to eat on Valentine's Day. Too many people and the food is never very good because there are SO many people crammed into a restaurant. Not my cup of tea. 

So around 10AM yesterday, I asked him if he would rather a pot roast or turkey stuffed peppers for dinner (I know, so romantic), and he responded with NO! We are going out tonight!

I laughed in his face and promptly gchatted this little lady something along the lines of "HA! Andre' thinks he can call right now and get a reservation for tonight. Good luck with that one buddy!"

Five minutes later, he had one. But it turned out to be OK because it was at the adorably tiny Italian place downtown called Pane & Vino. Bread & Wine? SAY NO MORE. I am in. 

So I got all dolled up...which I never get to do so I guess that part was OK too. (Don't make fun of me for this picture. I REALLY don't like selfsies so I'm really bad at them.) And what, you thought I was kidding about the bow thing?

I had to get the cheesiest thing on the menu (ha! in two ways! I crack myself up) - the Lovers Ravioli. The red ones were Lobster and the white were cheese - and all on a bed of broccoli sauce. You GUYS, it was so good! Who would have thought, broccoli sauce?! 

Some snippets from the night above. 

Any good dinner must ALWAYS have champagne. If you didn't know that, your dinner must suck. Sorry bout it. 

They gave me a rose when we walked in - so cute. But the daisies Andre' got me are much cuter.

And then we pulled a real classy move. We stopped at a liquor store for MORE champagne and then went to Target for dessert. We only planned on getting some Key Lime Pie, but we ended up with that AND everything else in the picture. Uhhhh...whoops?

Andre' sent me this last night, and even though I kinda like me some T-Swift (don't judge!), I thought this was super funny. And super true. 

And then we came home to some puppy snuggles. Yes, this is how he cuddles. I know, best puppy ever, right? 

And now it's FRIDAY! Can you believe how fast this week went? Maybe it's because I had a mini-weekend in the middle of it, that probably helped :) Hope you all have a fantastic weekend, we're headed to Houston for a baby shower and some nephew time. Never enough of that.
