Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope your day is going wonderfully. It's been a weird day here, but more on that in a minute. Matt and I celebrated Valentine's Day a night early. He wanted to buy flowers for me but assumed they'd be picked over by the time he went today after work, so he went last night instead. He bought two dozen roses (seen above). 12 were from Maddy and 12 from him. I think they are soooo pretty. I haven't had flowers in the house in forever. He also bought two bottles of champagne as well which we shared last night. I bought him a Wii game that we can both enjoy and also a photo mug of Maddy and I from Kodak with heart shaped Reeses peanut butter cups in it. He bought the tea for me and some lingerie as well. Even though I fully think that Valentine's day is a Hallmark Holiday, it's fun to celebrate it! :) It breaks up the monotony of February. I wore my red polo today and my lips fuzzy red socks. I also wore my garnet heart earrings/necklace/bracelet and of course my chastity ring (story if you click).
I made sugar cookies when we got home from the grocery store. Ok, I use the term 'made' loosely since all I had to do was put it on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven. I mean, they were already pre-sized for me and everything. Well, after Maddy gets up from her nap, we're going to decorate them. I bought pink and red frosting and also sprinkles at the store. Maddy also received a box in the mail today from my parents so she'll have that to open when she gets up as well! :)
It was a weird morning here. Maddy and I went to the grocery store after I cleaned out the refrigerator. She did great at the store, no problems at all. At checkout my credit card was denied which I absolutely didn't understand. I mean, we have a limit on there that we could buy one heck of a nice car if we really wanted to! So it's not that we went over the limit on the thing. I can't even imagine being CLOSE to the limit... it makes my brain spin! Then I remembered last night Matt and I bought an item online and it asked us for our security code and we thought we knew it (ok, I thought I knew it by heart) and I was wrong. So after a couple of tries I got off my lazy butt to go get the card to plug in the code. So that's what did it. They froze it for that reason. Once I was home I had the fun (ahem, yeah right) of putting away all the groceries, unloading the dishwasher, quickly putting in the cookies and I did some chocolate covered pretzels for Matt (since I know he won't read this blog before he gets home anyway, it's safe to put it on here). Of course, I had to get food in both Maddy and I for lunch and now she's down for a nap.
As soon as she went down for a nap the doorbell rang twice so I put her down as quickly as I could and came running to the front door. My parents package was here! But that's not why he rang the doorbell! He had a small envelope from our ophthalmologist for Matt and they hadn't put on enough postage so I had to pay them another .75 to get the envelope! Crazy.
Fun thing, my hair salon is having a customer appreciation sale the beginning of this week and I've been wanting to get my hair done so I made an appointment. I get $10 off the cut and a free parafin hand dip. Whoo whoo! They said they had other 'free goodies' too so that will be a nice treat. Now I need to figure out what I want to do with my hair. I've been trying to let it grow out, but I'm not sure if I want to continue and just get a trim or get it cut short again. *Sigh* the choices!
But I do know what's not a choice! I have some cleaning to do! So I'm out of here. Have a good Valentine's Day, everyone!
