Amateur Weekend

Amateur adj.
  • 1. Of or performed by an amateur.
  • 2. Made up of amateurs: an amateur cast.
  • 3. Not professional; unskillful.

This might be you if:
  • You are calling today for dinner reservations for this weekend (yes, including Friday and Sunday)
  • If you are dining out this weekend.......at all

So, you say you don't want to be an amateur? (Or, you just forgot to make rezzies and you are shut out.) Here's a relationship saving technique. Get your ass to Blockbuster NOW - that's why they have 5 day rentals - and rent the gooiest chick flick you can get your hands on.

Next, buy a bottle of wine (this is where you know if your honey likes red or white...heck splurge on some Champagne!). Some chocolate wouldn't hurt either, and I am not talking Hershey's.

Last, cook for your honey! Barring that, call up a *NICE* restaurant and at least order pickup. Domino's is a definite deal-breaker.

What, you ask, am I doing with the Hub for Vday? Working. The. Whole. Frickin'. Weekend. Thank you, Hallmark! However, I have worked in the industry for a long time now, 12 years, thank you very much. This isn't new news to me, or the Hub.

When we had our first together/nottogether Valentine's Day Kevo asked me if I minded being apart, and this is what I said:

"Screw Romance......always go for the MONEY!"

So with a fat wad of cash on Monday, I am taking my honey to dinner.
