Okay, so I had big plans for this Valentine's Day. It was the first time I would really celebrate it and I was really excited and anxious to make everything picture perfect. So, naturally, everything started to go wrong from square one.
My procrastinating significant other asked me at the last minute (day before) to cook for him because he enjoyed my cooking and wanted our time together to be a nice, cozy private affair. I agreed to it and Brittany, loving friend and sister that she is, decided to help pull everything together. So, after class yesterday, after deciding that our ride to the supermarket was taking too long to come, we made a pilgrimage there on our own. After getting there and realizing the prices were too high and the products were not of a good quality, our friend called and said that she would come get us and take us to a different supermarket. Of course, we had trouble finding every single item on our list and by the time we were done and ready to go an hour later, our friend decided to go to 150 (exaggeration) different stores to get gifts.
So, after all of that, I did not get back to my apartment to start cooking until 6:30 and he was due at 8:30, so it was really crunch time. As I had decided to make shrimp linguine with alfredo sauce, garlic bread, a Red Velvet cake, and chocolate strawberries, I was not sure if I could finish it all in that short amount of time. Brittany, like the commanding general of an army, snapped me out of it and threw herself right into the task of making the strawberries. So, I did the same.
Miraculously, we pulled it off and were finished with everything in time and it was a beautiful dinner and a memorable Valentine's Day. Oh, in case you're wondering why the title is "My Valetine's Day Validation"... The experience validated the facts in my mind that Brittany is a great friend and that anyone who is so lucky to have a girlfriend like me who would go all out for them should count their blessings. Consider yourself lucky, J! : D
