Reality Hits Yet Again

After a great weekend with Phillip, I’ve found myself thrown back into the less-than-desirable real world. I came back to tons of homework and studying. I even found out this morning that a simple “little” assignment that’s due Friday is actually a 3 page paper with sources. Awesome.

Phillip and his dad went to the All-Star game last night. From what I hear, they had fun. That’s great news to me since that was my whole goal. I’m glad they went together. I certainly wouldn’t have enjoyed myself and it gave them a chance to hang out. :)

So Saturday night I surprised Phillip with a reservation at J.R.’s Steakhouse in Colleyville. He has said several times of the past couple of years that he’d like to try it and I figured it was time. It’s actually where I thought we were going the night he proposed. So we got there and took advantage of the valet parking. They were having a Valentine’s weekend special, so Phillip and I got to have a three-course meal (I of course enjoyed all three courses, but Phillip patiently waited for the entree). The appetizer was a jumbo shrimp in cocktail sauce, a delicious fried crab cake, and the best fried calamari I have ever had with a chili and sour cream sauce. I even got Phillip to try some of the calamari!!! For the salad, it was a traditional spring salad with walnuts, Swiss cheese slivers, and a lemon butter dressing. It was alright, but nothing compared to the fantastic appetizer. For dinner, I had a buttery flakey Chilean sea bass on a rice pilaf. Phillip had peppercorn crusted steak with mashed potatoes. It was a delicious meal and a great evening out!!!
