Valentine Recap

This year, Valentine's Day was very different from the past couple ones...

First, it was the most least stressful Valentine's Day ever at work ever- yea!! Usually, on the night of February 14th I come exhausted- too much sugar, too many presents, too many oversized balloons delivered by parents... But this year, it was a breeze! The key * I bought our party treats. Yes, no party to advertise, no food to collect, and no children with more than the legal limit of sugar in their bodies. For the price of some over-priced pink frosting sugar cookies, some juice boxes, and a bag of colored goldfish- the day was a breeze! I also got my share of gifts- lots of valentines, several boxes of wal-mart chocolate, and some stuffed animals. But the most interesting gift by far was the box of chocolate from one of my boys that said "git-r-done" on it... hmm the last time I saw that it was on my wedding video.

Eric was finishing the good fight against a stomach bug on the 14th, so we had a quiet evening... I mean, we boycott the holiday and all it's commercialism. No, my days of celebrating single's awareness day have long past. The past three Valentine's we had gone to Square One- dating, engaged, and married one year respectively. It was sad to know that those days of fine B/CS dining are over but Eric stepped in to fill the gap. Last night, he took me to a Japanese hibachi grill in Montgomery- so cool! The chef was stinkin hilarious- and the food was super tasty! Thanks, Eric. Today, Eric and I went up to Birmingham to go hiking, which in itself is another story, but we saw a waterfall and got some good hiking in. All in all, it was a great several days- now to get ready for the next major holiday- St. Patty's Day ;)
