I know it's been 10 days or so since Valentines Day but I've been pretty busy and haven't had time to post anything. However, I thought I might share Heidi and I's Valentines Day fun. To start, Heidi and I have never really liked Valentines Day. I guess we figure we can love each other on the 13th and 15th just as much as we can on the 14th. That being said, we still decided to go out. Taking a cue from the Kelly's (Thanks DK and Morgan) we decided to go to Chick Fillet. I know, I know, I shouldn't splurge so much on my lovely bride. I had heard they do some sort of celebration every year but I didn't really know anything about it. So when we arrived at our local store we were surprised to find out that not only was there a twenty minute wait to get in, but you were supposed to have reservations. I had to go back outside and look at the sign to make sure it was Chick Fillet and not the Grove Park Inn. So after waiting twenty minutes we finally made our way to the hostess and she was able to "work us in". So a bit later we finally get a seat and order our gourmet meal of chicken nuggets and waffle fries. While waiting on our dinner we were approached by a photographer from the local paper who of course wanted to take a picture of our romantic love filled dinner. We agreed, although I wasn't really that thrilled about it. Two days later, sure enough, we are on the front page of the "Living" section of our local paper. So I went out and bought a couple of copies to keep for ourselves, not realizing the madness coming our way. I could of very easily waited and saved the dollar I spent on the paper.
Sunday: No less then 8 copies given to us from various church members. Also it was announced in our post service business. This prompted questions from about 25 different people.
Monday: 4 more copies given to us at work and questions from about 10 coworkers.
Tuesday: I visit my favorite local restaurant Beef O' Brady's. As I sit down at the bar (relax, I drink sweet tea) I am shown the picture now posted at the bar for all to see. I'm told that it's proof that I have been cheating with another restaurant.
Wednesday: Back to church we go where 4 more copies of the picture find their way into my hands and a few more explanations of what went down.
Thursday: Two more copies given to me at work. At this point I take the pictures, autograph them, all my love, Danny Baddeley and give them back.
All I can really say is I guess I'm lucky not to be a celebrity. Of course, the worst part is, and I knew it was going to happen, but even after confirming the spelling of my last name, twice. The paper still misspelled it. They left off the Y.
Thanks for reading

Try being born on the V day. You grow up through school not knowing if people really DO like you, or is it just because it's your b'day... and why does everyone else get cards, too?
Okay, okay... I don't mind that sally, jane & jill all gave me cards... but so did tom, richard & harry. That's not cool.
Well, don't worry. We have a rule about V'day in the Goode Home... go out to eat on the 13th or the 15th if you can. Needless to say, there is the distinct possibility that my daughter could be born on April 1. EEEGADS! Not to mention that her birth stone will be a Diamond.
Wow, we didn't get near that much attention for going to our local CFA.
The time I was on the front page of the "Living" section of the paper, no one really noticed. (Admittedly, it was my truck, no photo of me. But it had my name on it!)
That is so funny!
You have inspired me to start handing out my own autograph!
Yeah, it's a good feeling, especially when someone doesn't solicit it :)
Sweet Tea huh? I guess Long Island produces a few sweet people every now and again;) I spent the day with my roomie because she ROCKS!!
