happy day after love day day. (in my mind that TOTALLY makes sense. read it again s-l-o-w-l-y...it will also make sense to you)
anywho....it's february 15, the day after valentines day and almost 3 weeks since my last post but who cares about that since it's practically still a holiday and come on folks, we cut people a little slack when it's a holiday. (we also cut people, who tend to use run-on-sentences too often, a little slack too)
what did YOU do yesterday to celebrate love??
did you eat copius amounts of chocolate? (you know, the jackpot of candy that your offspring landed at school.)
spend ridiculous amounts of money on flowers that will soon die? (i heart flowers)
did you go on a fancy-smacy date?
did you just stay home and um, cuddle??
valentines day in our home is just like any other day.
we celebrate love everyday. (sappy, but true)
which means that EVERYDAY we eat copious amounts of candy and do a lot 'cuddling'.
yes. we. do.
everyday we do NOT go on fancy dates and buy expensive flowers. we are cheap.
we like plastic, NO maintenance plants.
yes. we. do.
anywho...
this year, my hub surprised me.
if you know me well, you know i HATE surprises.
H.A.T.E.
i hate not knowing who i'm going to have to hang out, what am i going to have to wear, what if i don't like what the plan is??
WHAT IF I HAVE NO CONTROL???
gasp.
i really HATE surprises.
that being said, i kinda liked my surprise last night.
the hub had told me to be ready by 4:30.
since i was in Seattle for the day with my bff, who btw, knew all about 'the plan' and wouldn't even tell me. what sort of bff LIES to her bff?
mine. that's who.
(i'm glad you didn't tell me. brat.)
4:3o i was ready. all dressed up (adding assult to injury, i had strict orders to NOT wear jeans.) and no clue where we were going.
as we were walking out the door, he told me to grab my make-up bag and NO, we were NOT going to stay overnight.
i consider myself a fairly intelligent girl when it comes to figuring out a man and his ways and wouldn't you know it, i busted my man.
and i'm SOOOO glad i was right!!
the spa....we were going to the spa!!!
it's been a fairly emotional couple weeks (love my life but i tell ya, sometimes it gets the best of me) and my dear hub KNEW that THIS is what i NEEDED.
he's a gem.
he's a keeper.
he took me to the spa. i think i'll keep him.
we met up with our friends from b'ham and spent a wonderful, very relaxing evening together.
ok, i may have changed my mind...
i guess i DO like surprises. (don't surprise me unless you're taking me to the spa. or to Maui.)
