Because I am the planning half in my relationship everything tends to be organized by me. Generally I am fine with this arrangement, I actually rather prefer it that way which is why we work so well together. However on days like today, Valentines Day, I sometimes wish my un-planning fiancée would break out of his comfort zone and take initiative. After getting home from work at 8:30 Mr. Rogue and I got dressed and headed off for our non-reservation spur of the moment decision destination. We decided to visit a restaurant recommended to us a few months ago by our friends. An Italian restaurant that they said was small, intimate and divine. We both thought that this sounded good for our Valentines Day meal; unfortunately as we pulled up into the parking lot at 9:30pm we realized that our friends, the same that recommended the restaurant, also had the same selection in an intimate dinner location. We decided to not bother them and instead drove around the corner to the Cheesecake Factory.
I don’t know why I always secretly hope that my predictable man will change his predictable habits; I am always disappointed that I have to be the one to make the plans. Albert Einstein’s said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. So in loo of admitting that I am completely insane I am going to stop expecting things that are not meant to be and embrace the power I have to do things the way that I want.
At least there is one thing that I don’t have to worry about. Mr Rogue has exquisite taste in jewellery. Here is the gift he got me this year.
