Valentine's Day lands on a Monday this year. The Army sucks the life out of you during the week and leaves you listless and exhausted by the end of the duty day. It makes even a quick trip to the corner store after work seem like the biggest hassle. All I ever want to do is put on my gross orange sweat pants and lay on the couch after work.
Romantic holiday or no, I fully intend to don the sweats on Monday after work. James is a smart man and he planned ahead. We celebrated Valentine's Day today on the 12th.
Normally I don't celebrate Valentine's Day because normally I do not have a Valentine. Things are looking up in 2011. :)
We had dinner at my favorite teriyaki place, Happy Teriyaki. We exchanged gifts; he got me a needlepoint picture of Jesus that he picked up at an antique store and some beautiful flowers. I gave him Hershey Kisses and a DVD of The Exorcist. Perhaps my gift alluded to the fact that I don't normally get to participate in this Holiday.
I even got a Valentine in the mail yesterday. My thoughtful puppy had my mom send me a Valentine for him since he has no thumbs to write a lovely note inside and no money to actually purchase it. Picasso has a really wonderful Grandma and I have a really wonderful puppy. And come to think of it, I have a really wonderful boyfriend, too!
