V Day randoms

[regencygirl]

It's COLD here, thanks to the damn polar vortex or some such shit. DH is an awesome short order cook from years of working in a diner, so he made kick ass breakfast sandwiches for us all this morning. Then we took DS1 and DS2 to Build a Bear where the oldest got a Bob minion and the youngest wanted nothing to do with it. I thought he'd be excited to pick a bear out. Oh well. I may go back later and get one for myself, they have a whole Star Wars line now and you can make Chewie! I don't care how old I am, I need a stuffed Chewie in my life.

For now we're all watching mindless tv and trying to figure out dinner plans. We don't really do Valentine's day and for once DH listened to me when I asked him to not plan something or do anything. I'm leaning toward some type of take out since I don't feel like cooking. Then Downton tonight!!

Oh god. DS has figured out how to open the baby gates.

[gennyu]

We are hunkering down today to avoid the negative temps outside.
DS is watching the Alvin marathon on Nick Jr.
DH is working on our taxes.
I'm making a (hopefully) gourmet dinner of lemon garlic chicken with potatoes au gratin. Totally stealing your candlelight idea!!

[blondemoment123]

H actually made reservations for lunch today. I was shocked! And of course I got my card "from the cats" lol

[textbookcase]

The girls just got out of the pool.

Entered too soon. Girls just got out of the pool, because, you know...valentines day. 90 degrees! My kidney hurts. I hate this stent.

L loved the aquarium; her eyes were as big as saucers the whole time, and she passed out about two minutes into our drive home. It was so effing crowded, though, and of course everyone is for themselves instead of being courteous, which means everywhere you went in the building it was congested... aaahhh crowds, lol. We're already planning on taking her back on some random Tuesday.

I can't believe it's 5 already. H and L have off tomorrow, and I am jealous.

My busted up knee still hurts from this morning. I'm in the bath and h brought me a gin & tonic. He also cleaned the house, started working on the bathroom for me this morning, bathed the kids, and he's talking about making chocolate dipped strawberries. LOL. He can act rough around the edges sometimes, but he's a really romantic guy at heart.

[cuddlyevil]

Kids are at camp grandma, it's snowier than shit out there. So I am watching the proposal and drinking.

[killercupcake]

The cramps have subsided and H is out getting us lunch.

I'm watching Armageddon like a moron. Harry just took the detonator from AJ. I'm already a mess.

[cabbage10]

FI is in the kitchen cooking us dinner right now we slept in and lounged in bed before I went to barre. Then exchanged cards at a local pizza place. It has been a nice snuggle and relaxing day.

Also he made us a reservation for an amazing restaurant downtown next weekend because he knows I don't like gong out valentines night.

Last night date #1: brought me flowers and booze. we went and had a boatload of Indian food, saw Deadpool at a theater that has a bar. Came home to a box of mystery chocolates with no indication as to whom it was from. Slightly weirded out. Drank some more, had sex, woke up early this AM and got breakfast.

Today I found out mystery candy was left by my other potential love interest. He's working today so we aren't hanging out until later.

Play on playa!

Dyed my hair today and it isn't green so I'd say it's a success!



I put this in flex 's thread, but BF was overwhelmed at the store and just grabbed a card without looking. Oops. 



He got me this bracelet, too (middle one) well, he said got it for me for Christmas, but then decided I had enough presents for Christmas so he saved it, lol. Either way, I love it. It's not my usual style, but I love that he picked it out. 

I feel like I've told this story before, but a few years ago my H handed me my Valentine's Day card and I ripped it open to find "Happy Valentine's Day, to my wonderful husband".  I laughed and laughed, not only because he clearly just grabbed any old card off the shelf, but also at what the cashier was thinking.  It's the only card I've ever saved.

I am wearing a jumpsuit tonight. I don't know why I waited so long to jump on this (probably outdated, by this point) trend. It is sooo comfy. Fuck regular pants.

Just wait until you have to pee.

It's an off-the-shoulder boatneck, it pulls right down! It is the BEST! (The pee issue is one thing that initially made me apprehensive of jumpsuits but this one was totally made for lazy people who love comfort, like me.)

My H and I celebrated last night. He planned, shopped for, and completely cooked dinner last night. We had steak, shrimp, AND salmon, squash, and cheddar mashed potatoes. Then for dessert, he made a GF cinnamon raisin and apple bread pudding. OMG. Add some Spanish wine and I was the happiest wambam that ever was!

You are having the best day! And Jack is so big! I'm glad my kids aren't the only ones who love to go shirtless.

Also, I am super bummed because a bunch of us Chicago area folks were meeting up with miso today and I had to bail because my baby hates life right now.

So sad! I'm sure we will meet one day, though. (heart)

I thought DD was going through some kind of growth spurt accompanied by a nap strike but nope! - We've got a right lower central incisor broken through! She wasn't very upset at all today so I was surprised when she latched onto DH's hand and then he went 'WTF why does that scratch?!?'

[eb777888]

My day was excellent!!! Woke up to a beautiful huge arrangment of red roses and orchids. Like, seriously gorgeous. Then we went to brunch where I had a Bloody Mary. Then we ran around and did some window shopping. Then met idoinjuly and Elsa with our families for a little GTG. We grilled, drank and yelled "CARS!!!" It was fun!

[Deleted]

We went out last night with friends and I got to eat this


Along with some super strong margaritas.

Today DH was in pain from his hip so I have done 90% of the parenting and cleaned the house. He at least took DS to baseball practice. He gave me an insta pot and a sappy card. I gave him a smile and a hug. I've had my favorite edibles. Oh and I went grocery shopping and the cashier flirted with me and bought me cookies. He was much younger with muscles and tattoos. ::fans self::

I keep thinking of your friends Vday that you said you were having, sounds so awesome.  Where was this dinner? I love a good margarita.  Pierside in San Clemente has the best craft marg, south of nicks prickly pear margarita a close second.

We went to Captain Jack's up in Sunset Beach. The margarita was SO strong. I only had one! I will have to check out Pierside. I've been to South of Nicks but I think I was drinking wine that night.

H went out with friends last night and is hungover today. So I cleaned up the mess from last nights dinner (I cooked so he was supposed to clean) and got up with DD this morning and made breakfast. He got up and we exchanged (token) gifts. Then he went back to bed.

Later we were supposed to go for lunch and to the zoo. After he was still laying in bed an hour and a half after I asked him to get ready, and DD was whining that she didn't want to go to the zoo, I said eff it all and hopped in the car alone. Just had lunch and going to spend an afternoon to myself shopping/browsing. Not sure if I will still make the nice dinner I was planning. We will see how I feel about it when I get home.

Did you make the dinner? Because your H pulled a HUGE dick move yesterday. You were very wise to walk away for a few hours.

No, I didn't.  He apologized but I was still mad because I was looking forward to the zoo all week.  And in no mood to cook a big dinner and potentially deal with cleaning up again too.

I will probably cook it tonight though because it's already defrosted and otherwise it will go to waste.

I made the boys heart shaped pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast. I think I'll make it easy on myself and do pizza for dinner. I might steal your candlelight "fancy" idea though, that would be fun with them.

H is gone OOT for work, he'll be home 2/25. So we said happy Valentine's Day via text this morning, lol. I did send him a card, I wrote "Roses are red, violets are blue. October 23rd is when our next baby is due." So cheesy, lol, but he will love it. He hasn't mentioned getting it but they've had some pretty bad weather up there so it's probably delayed.

OMG I thought this was so sweet, I teared up a little
