my valentine weekend

I have just finished my best weekend ever, at least the best that I can remember 😛  Friday night Robyn and I snuck out of the house around 5, ran some errands for dinner and then went to Paul’s place(her boyfriend) and kicked him out and started to make dinner for him and my boyfriend.  At 9:30 when the guys got to the house we had dinner which robyn and I did everything for.  We had heart shaped pasta from Cost Plus with a red sauce that was really good (only because we made it from a recipe that robyn’s chef cousin gave us to use).  Along with that we made a cesar salad with croutons, garlic french bread(store bought) and then we made brushetta for a before meal snack(just incase one guy had to wait for the other to show up).  We had a red tablecloth for the dinner table, red confettie to go over it, two tall red candles for the center, we bought three red roses, cut them down to size and put them into a vase(in between the two candles) and then we have more candles on the counters around the table and four red tealights to square off the center piece of the tall candles and roses.  Oh yeah and we had a mixture or lemonaid and raspberry lemonaid with lemond aid heart shaped ice cubes for the drink.  That was a pretty nice dinner if you ask me.  Oh, wait, what am I thinking, we also have a plain cheesecake(store bought) that we put Dove hearts and sliced strawberries along the edge of the top.

Saturday I was taken to Tahoe Joe’s(steakhouse) which at first I wasn’t too sure about as a valentine’s dinner place but it was really good and the best steakhouse that I have ever been too.(that is saying a lot since I’m not a huge fan of steak[which I let it be known later that it was really good but that isn’t my favorite thing, which then causes me to think if I even have a favorite thing])  We then came back to the apartment, stuffed with left overs.  We watched some movies and then went to bed but then got out again at 11 to go save Robyn and Paul who ended up at the garage downtown with a dead car.  Got back and went back to bed and slept.

Sunday(today) we got up and I took the boy to Apple Farm for breakfast since that is one of the better/nicer places to go (breakfast buzz is the place to go when you are hungry and on a budget, still they have good food).  Then we stopped by the apartment to grab his camera and glasses and off we went to his second surprise for me.  We went horseback riding, that tells you when someone is the best in the world, when they like horses, pay attention to you, and take you horseback riding.  Although the poor guy kept trying to keep it a secret from me but I had an idea earlier and then he made a comment to me about that he had been thinking of it for awhile and then again last weekend(my brother’s birthday and my mom showing him a flier for horseback rides near napa).  I wouldn’t tell him what I thought it was and then he had to start driving to farm country and let me tell you, if you think that someone isn’t going to realize what is going on when you are heading that way and the person is pretty damn smart, well you need to rethink some things 😛  So we get there and he tells me and I’m laughing to myself because I knew and then he wanted to know how I knew and all that, yeah, what can I say, I’m a brat. 

The ride was great, we went up the mountain and saw out to Moro Bay and looked around, had good views all the way up and down, the horses were good, very well behaved and very used to drill of trail rides(you can tell when that happens).  I like getting a horse fix every now and then, I’ve gotten used to not having one or even really getting to see them for so long that I have it down to where horses are something that people have but that I don’t 😛

We left, grabbed some starbucks(the one way down los osos is killer) and then came here to finish off dinner left overs and Robyn dorpped off her cake and we had a piece of that too(robyn and I make the best stuff) then we got him ready to leave and he is now gone, he left a little over 30 minutes ago.  As soon as I saw him drive off, I came back up the stairs and called my mom to tell her what I did this weekend and then came to type this up.

Now I have to do my spanish homework finished for monday and do some reading for my Sociology class.  Gotta go, laters.
