The Lame Valentine <---That's me!

Sean's birthday, our Valentine's Day, our 7th dating anniversary did not go as I planned. I had plans to have an early lunch at The Market Grill at Pike Place Market and then was going to take a taxi to Fremont Street because a friendly waiter recommended it to me saying that it was a little like San Francisco. I've never been to San Francisco although I really would love to, so I was excited to check it out.

I also had two outfits picked out for Sean's birthday celebration and was going to have Sean pick his favorite of the two for me to wear out that night.

Sean left for work at 7am. I kissed him and wished him a happy birthday and a great day (feeling good I should add!) and then an hour later I was so sick. I'll leave out all the gruesome details but I hate being sick and staying in bed all day especially when I'm visiting a new to me city.

I could not eat or function so I slept a lot that day.

When I heard Sean come in at 5 pm I looked over and in both of his hands were tons of bags. He came carrying bags of food. I wanted to take pictures of all of it to document (ah, the life of a blogger) but after a couple I just didn't feel like it. He brought chicken lettuce wraps, chicken, beef and shrimp teriyaki, Hagen Daz Dulce de Leche, Vitamin Waters and of course good ole Jack Daniels. If he was to be stuck in a hotel room on his birthday it might as well be with me and Jack. Although I appreciated the generous gesture I was unable to really eat which bummed me out since I really hate wasting food! Throwing out the ice cream the next day before we headed to the airport made me sad. I seriously contemplated eating it all but Sean suggested that I not do that and have a proper breakfast. Boo to his common sense!

Although that day did not go as planned I was pretty content.
Content to be in bed (looking a hot mess I should add), watching TV, attempting to eat and being taken care of by my favorite person in the world.



Oh and the next day I was feeling like my old self again, like nothing even happened. But of course since we were leaving that day.
But to be honest, I am glad I got sick the day before and not the day we were traveling back home.
Seattle to PA is not a short trip.

I definitely owe him a birthday celebration that's for sure. I think I'll make him a birthday cake.
But I know that all he wants for his birthday is a big ... just kidding.
He already has that, minus the ... oh just forget I mentioned anything ;).
