It's Valentines day today. Trying as hard as I could, I still couldn't avoid it.
My husband loves me. I know that. He is not the romantic type to send me flowers or buy me gifts on Valentines, Birthdays or Anniversaries. I understood this before I married him. I still understand this and love him no less for it. With our relationship based on mutual love and respect for each other, we don't engage in the spending of lots of money on days designated by society.
But as I was in the drugstore today picking up a prescription anyway, while I waited, I looked at all the cards on the rack. That took all of 3 minutes as there wasn't much left. The ones that were left were pretty lame. They were either aimed at 3 yr olds or filled with sexual innuendos. I ended up picking him up a novel that I hope he will enjoy and a small chocolate treat and stuffie for Kaitlin. I do wish I had thought of this a week ago, so I could have mailed a little something to Craig, Genevieve, Stephanie & Todd. Sorry guys, I will just have to owe you a lasagna next time your home.
So, even though we are not holiday spenders (except for at Christmas, but that's another blog) I ended up spending about $60 on the day. The drugstore gifts cost me $20.00 and then I decided on impulse as I was leaving work, that it would be nice to just pick up some supper and dessert at the local grocery store. Another $40 bucks on a roasted chicken, spuds, salad, cake and cookie dough/brownie ice cream. They were out of rolo ice cream so I had to go with the next best.
ROLO ICE CREAM IS THE BEST ICE CREAM EVER!
I left Dean a voice mail asking him to pick up a bottle of wine on the way home. I figured if I am gonna be a last minute spending sucker he must as well come on over to the dark side with me.
Happiest of Love fests to all.
