Happy Valentine's Day and gunk! Love is in the air. Well, I wouldn't say love, but tokens of friendship and caring are. Today, so many people gave me Valentine 'gifts'. I got a chocolate heart, cinnamon hearts, pink and red candy coated chocolates, conversation hearts (which unfortunately aren't that tasty), a chocolate lollipop and a cupcake. And NO, I didn't eat it all today! Okay, I had the cinnamon hearts (two only), one dirty tasting conversation heart and 10 candy coated chocolates. I'm not sure of the ratio of pink to red, but I don't think it matters.
The best gift was a homemade dessert. It was a meringue "cloud" with raspberry filling and fresh raspberries on top! IT WAS TASTY! Yeah, I ate that too. And apparently they were gluten-free too.
And of course, a heart with a cup of joe, is the symbol for the day. Love and coffee. What could be better?!?!
My boyfriend called me and wished me a Happy Valentine's Day. That IS the sweetest thing I have ever gotten on Valentine's Day. It was a totally out of the blue phone call. I thought it was sweet. See, I'm not a materialistic bitch! All I want was the acknowledgement of the day. I don't need overpriced roses.
Okay, the let me clarify this one. A dozen long stem red roses are a great gift for a first Valentine's day present. However, if that's what your gonna get the person every year, well that's when it gets a little stale. A little creativity is needed. And I don't mean you have to buy more roses and spend a ton of money, but change it up a bit people. There are TONS of different flowers that you can buy, a massage, a shopping trip at the mall... But if you really want to win points, make someone dinner. A homemade dinner is like the sexiest gift you can ever give someone. Not for the food but for the gesture. When you make someone a meal, especially someone who makes dinner for you all the time, it's a really nice treat. Your giving someone the night off, they don't have to clean up afterwards and it shows you care and appreciate all that they do for you!!! And it doesn't have to be a super fancy meal, it just has to be one that's made 100% by you. Well, when I say 100%, I don't mean that you can't have outside help. Like, purchasing the dessert, or already made pasta sauce. No one will get mad at you for that help.
Anyways, I think it's time to say goodbye. Enjoy the coffee and the heart-shaped-hanging-off-the-lip-thingy!
Love and gunk, always and forever!
