But for you non-scroogey (?) Valentines out there, hope your day was magical, anyway. :)
We don't really exchange gifts for Valentine's Day (we're gift enough, hello!), but it's not so much a rule as it is a habit. Maybe someday we'll give gifts, but for now I'm more about making memories. We've both been sick enough lately that the Valentine's Day countdown has been postponed (we're starting up with day 5 tomorrow) and that just means we get to hold on to Valentine's Day a little longer, right? We do try to do something nice. I think eventually I'd like to get to the point where we're organized enough for us to take turns each year planning the big day. I sort of had vague plans in my head, but Paul made a suggestion today, and I was in the mood to let him lead this time around. :) He took me out to Basil Thai (one of our favorite places, we went there a lot when we were dating and we don't go there nearly enough anymore...gotta keep them in business!). Seriously, just look at this food and tell me you're not salivating:
 |
| Pad Thai |
 |
| Chicken Satay (Paul's favorite) |
 |
| And MY favorite--curry pineapple fried rice! |
I'M salivating just looking at this again! So while we mostly just laid around and watched TV (like every other day he's off work), it was nice to get out of the house for a bit and not have to make any dinner. We went to his work and I got to meet some people there while he had his mandatory drug test. We went out to eat, and that's a real treat for me. Oh, and when we went to Walmart to buy him a razor he let me buy (and then proceed to eat) a box of chocolates. With daisies on the front of the box, not roses. That's love. :)
Regardless of whether or not today was memorable or exciting or romantic, it was a day with my husband, my eternal Valentine, without whom I would be lost and lonely. In my book, that makes it a good day.
