So what did you do for V-day?
Whether you went all out or you boycotted, what did you do?
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.
Re: So what did you do for V-day?
I slept in and woke up to a clean and beautiful kitchen courtesy of Huz. He surprised me with a dozen roses too! We hung out with the Buns (they got heart-shaped pieces of apple as a treat), and later went out for sushi at one of our favorite places. We tried to get froyo after, but it was closed. We came home, and I'm making boston creme pie cupcakes. Huz is looking up inspiration for his next whittling project. He has to go to work later ::sadface:: but it was a really great day already!
Update! He didn't have to go to work, so we watched The Princess Bride (my favorite movie) on AMC! Yay!
ETA: pic of the cupcakes
Since it is a work day, we had a lovely dinner of teriyaki salmon (homemade teriyaki sauce made by the huz), roasted broccoli (and like you Passanie, I did not burn it!) & baked beans. We also had some newhattan chowder from a local seafood restaurant we got yesterday. To.die.for.
We rounded off our meal with leftover bday cake.
Not sure if you saw my picture on FB but we exchanged gifts and had the same idea. He got me the minons form the Despicable Me and I got him the Blu Ray DVD of it! It was great!
We are now stuffed and veggin on the couch and about to go to bed.
I waited in the pharmacy for an hour and a freaking half!!!!! Plus, they were out of birth control pills! Really??? On Valentine's day?? There are going to be a lot of November babies! LOL
Ok, venting aside...thankfully we didn't have anything big planned for the day. We are going to a Chinese New Year dinner at Chef Chu's tomorrow, that will be super-yum! I worked and then snuck out to lunch with a friend, that was a nice surprise. DH is not feeling so good today
Happy Valentine's everyone!
Lighthouse State Beach, Santa Cruz.
That is adorable. You're like the happy version of "Gift of the Magi!"

Well, despite making me promise not to do anything, and promising me he would be doing nothing, I got flowers at work yesterday from our wedding florist. Pink tulips, yellow roses...just a small, but beautiful arrangement.
Last night, we rented and watched Shakespeare In Love and make turkey burgers, sweet potato fries, and artichokes. It was a great night.
Yesterday we had lunch together and that was about it. I had class after work and then came home and cleaned out the hamster cage and did some homework. H had dinner with his mom b/c his dad is out of town.
Sunday, however, we did the wine tasting at Testarossa b/c they had a chocolate pairing. That was fun.
DH got me flowers(roses from pro-flowers) and cards and brought home goodies scrounged from work give-aways.
I made him dinner and we ate at the table.
Then we went to bed because it was already 9pm.
We planned to have casual evening at home and I was going to make breakfast for dinner after DH expressed a disinterest in me making fondue. I'm usually very against going out on V-day due to the crowds and general dinner madness.
Instead, DH surprised me by showing up at my work with flowers and stole me away from work early (he'd asked my boss via email). He took me out for fondue (that rascal) after he surprised me with Verizon's iPhone 4! The poor guy spent numerous hours at the store to get one. I've been wanting and waiting for one forever but had convinced myself to wait to see if this summer Verizon would get the iPhone 5. DH said he'll upgrade me to the 5 whenever it comes out
We've never been "big" on V-day, so this was seriously one of the best ever. I'm still sort of in shock. It was really wonderful and I'm thrilled to have my new toy.
