Valentine's Day 2009

Friday night the husband and I went on a date....we went to a movie theatre where you eat, too....I had sweet potato fries and ice tea, yummy! He had a bunch of nastiness...wings, some other kind of chicken things and cheese bread (which was DISGUSTING) and ice tea. We saw Taken which I was hesitant to see. I have never been a fan of scary movies, they plain scare me for years and years....now that I have children and essentially live alone...I REALLY avoid them for my own sanity. So, I went to see this just b/c it was playing at the time we were there. It turned out to be better and not nearly as scary as I perceived. Moral of the story...never ever let your daughter travel abroad alone...I would even say with in the US, tag along :-). I had already planned to be THAT kind of mother. As long as I don't let my daughter out of my sight, we should be good. It was more of a movie my husband would enjoy as well. I felt pretty yucky by the end of the night...so we came home and went to bed...and I slept for 12 hrs. The better news is my children did, too. We got up together and made heart shaped pancakes. I would have taken a picture, but everyone was really hungry! We laid around all day (my husband has been sick) and then went to have yummy soup at Corner Bakery.

My presents were 1lb of Twizzlers, a VERY sweet & funny card and a teddy bear that says I love you. I also got to go yesterday to get a manicure, pedicure and eye brow wax. That was fun! He said he is getting me flowers. He usually ordes them, but I have told him not to waste money on that anymore...just buy some at Costco.

I bought him a Guns n Roses Cd and a Metallica cd. I recently learned he's into metal...who knew! I guess b/c he listens to alternative christian these days I didn't realize he liked Metallica and such :-). I also gave him a box of chocolate turtles (one of his favorite candies).

Our children got a book (cool book, one is space with a globe that you put together and the other is a fairy one with paper lanterns), stuffed animal (puppy for my son and a giraffe for my daughter) and a small box of chocolates. Very fun for all of us...and I think we all feel loved :-).
