The Amazing Reese and I had a simple Valentine's day, yes, full of love and
contentment, but simple. We happily rented a redbox movie, Austenland -- very cute,
and surprisingly enough, got McDonald's to go. I can't remember the last time we
had McDonald's. I'm pretty sure it was years ago when we were on the
hunt for the teeny beanie baby surprise in McDonald's happy meals. With four
young daughters, we had a lot of happy meals in a relatively short
amount of time, and I think we just sort of burned out on McD's. Last
night, Reese and I were both so hungry that we scarfed down our burgers, after
which we reasoned that if we were both that hungry that it took us 2 1/2
minutes to eat, then we didn't deserve to eat at a fancy restaurant for
Valentine's day. Last year, we went to Brennan's -- my absolute
favorite restaurant of all time -- and had lousy service. Brennan's is still my favorite restaurant, and we've gone there in the past for lunch on Valentine's day with great success, it's just that they were much
too busy last year during dinner service to pay us any attention. So, I guess in typical over
compensating fashion, we went in the complete opposite direction this
year. It worked just fine for us, plus the burgers and fries paired
really well with a nice bottle of red wine. Long, rambling story, but there
it is.
