Thank Wonkster! (BTW...You make me laaaaauuuuggggh! )
So I sent the W a little text and asked her out to lunch. She accepted. I made it flirtatious, like a first date kind of thing. I wanted to thank her for last night. It was nice... and I just got back from lunch.
We were talking about our mornings and plans for the week and I asked her simply, "So do you want to go out or stay in for Friday?"
W: What's Friday?
Me: hahaha! Valentine's Day
W: (eyes wide open, deer in head lights, uh-oh, oops, if I smile really big RT will think I'm cute because I genuinely had no idea)... uuuummm... I don't know. (laughing) What would you like to do?
Me: I'm easy. Why don't we just stay in. Dinner & a movie. (thinking about the advice on my Valentine's Day thread)
W: Why don't we go see our movie? (she has said she wants to see a particular movie, I agreed it sounded like a good one... now it's "our" movie. hmmmmmm )
Me: OK!
W picks up her phone, chooses a theater that we love, it doesn't have the movie playing. She finds it at another theater and we agree to go. We ho-hum that this theather doesn't serve dinner and drinks like the other and W says...
W: We can sneak it in!?!
Me: (absolute 180 on this one...) OK!!! We'll be bad!
And we laugh that at our ages, we will be sneaking in a cocktails like teenagers.
Then she suggested a restaurant for dinner afterwards... one we both love nearby.
Effort from her, more spontaneity from me to follow her lead, and we shall see...
If I get kicked out of this movie theater at almost 40 because I have a flask of snippy in my pocket, well... what a new memory we will have!
May not be such a bad V-Day after all.
