My Heartsy Hallmark Holiday

Valentine’s Day was pretty regular for me this year.. Except I spent the better part of it baking those cakes for Julie and Kev’s wedding.. My feet were throbbing @ the end of the day..

But I didn’t want it to be another lame day like it was last year (seriously, I don’t think we celebrated ANY holidays since moving to Kuwait). SO, while in TSC picking up my last minute ingredients for the cakes, I picked up some other little things..

Pedro worked late that night AND still went to the barber to get his wooly mammoth fro cut off.. By the time he got home it was 9:00, but, I had waiting upstairs a hot bath by candlelite, a chicken sandwich, a dozen chocolate covered strawberries, wine (for him – sparkling juice for me) and a racy little card.. He in turn produced his regular bouquet of roses and mega box of Lindt Chocolates (which he knows is my fave). I also got a mighty fine footrub afterwards so.. Cheesy? Perhaps.. But in spite of the passé reason for the occasion, we had a nice late evening..

Best Valentine’s Day yet! ☺
