I should probably post about this before I totally forget to!
I’m feeling a little bit better today. My cough has gotten worse but I don’t feel fever-ish or congested. But I do feel flemmy. I debated on taking a nap, but now it’s passed 6:30PM and I don’t think it’s a reasonable time to be napping, darn. I shoulda napped sooner!
Anyway, on to Valentines Day!
My mom got me tulips the day before Valentines Day. She always manages to get me flowers, which is sweet of her since my husband doesn’t seem to believe in giving flowers for special occasions, or at all actually. And it was cool cause this year I wanted tulips!
She also gave me my Valentines Day gift a day early. I thought the card was cute because it said “to my daughter and son-in-law” I thought it was sweet she included husband too :).
She got me the P.S. I love You set from Bath & Body Works, a cute flower foofa sponge and a paper rose that wasn’t included in this picture. She also gave me a rose from her bouquet (which is dead now, darn. I can never keep flowers alive).
And just because, these have always been my favorite Valentines Day lollipops! I was so excited to find these at Party City!
So on Valentines Day, since we’re broke, we didn’t do much. We did our usual lunch at Todai thing. It was super packed this year, they had a special promo going on. So maybe that’s why. They also mixed up a few things, they didn’t have my favorite whipped cream with banana’s and chocolate syrup dessert like they usually do for lunch :(.
After Todai, we walked around the mall and I got to get a MAC lipstick from Macy’s. I got Blankety. I was planning on getting another Dazzleglass because mine is kinda funky and I wanted to get Baby Sparks but they were sold out :(. So husband told me to just get one thing and not go around trying to replace it cause it’s sold out. Grrr. We ended up going to downtown Walnut Creek to walk around cause it was just so pretty outside! It was super packed there too! OMGOSH! Finding parking was so hard. And it’s a 3 story parking garage! I got an Alice in Wonderland book with Through The Looking Glass. Excited about that! I couldn’t find Through The Looking Glass for the longest time.
Then we went home and we made dinner together! I wanted to make some Hamburger Helper because that’s what we did for our first official Valentines Day together in high school, we made Hamburger Helper for dinner!
It came out really really really good too. Yum!
Oh, husband also surprised me with a gift! I feel bad because I didn’t get him anything even though he assured me it was okay since we don’t have money and there’s nothing I could had really got him anyway…
He got me a baby orchid I wanted from Home Depot! This totally surprised me because I didn’t think he was really paying attention when I was oohing and ahhing over it. He also got me Pansy flower seeds, cause while we were there I was pointing out flowers that were like “in Alice!” haha. And he got me a really sweet card and wrote a sweet little note at the bottom about how times are hard and how he’s lucky to have me in his life.
Aw, I love my husband!
Those flowers are beautiful! I love tulips, we used to have them planted at my parents’ house and whenever they started to bloom I knew spring was on it’s way!
Thank you :).
Oh how lucky! I would love to wake up to a whole garden of tulips!
