Valentine’s Day

Daphne & I ran around today picking up the last of our Valentine’s Day dinner ingredients and visiting some old friends. As usual I was completely unable to keep a secret from Chris and spilled tomorrow’s menu and plans. I suck at keeping secrets.

We are having a quiet dinner at home, as usual. I am a pretty low maintenance girl when it comes to Valentine’s. I always tell Chris not to buy me flowers because of the insane mark-up. I hate battling crowds at restaurants. This year we decided to not exchange gifts, mainly because we bought each other big gifts at Christmas and I don’t really want anything. So it will be a pretty low key day.

Speaking of low key, one of the worst Valentine’s we’ve spent together was last year. The morning sickness was really hitting me hard and the only thing I wanted to eat was bland, starchy foods. So I made Chris take me to KFC so I could have mashed potatoes. For some reason the bland, instant potatoes from KFC sounded perfect. I have to admit it felt a little sad to be sitting in a KFC, but my stomach wouldn’t have tolerated anything else. But Chris did put forth great effort and actually made me a Valentine’s card. I was impressed. Oh, and there’s the Love Lobster. That’s a whole other post for tomorrow.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
