More Love
Wow. What a successful Valentine's Day!
This day was unlike some of my previous Valentine's Days ... such as my first year living in NYC when my parents surprised me with a big box wrapped with a big red ribbon. I thought, 'Candy! Chocolate! Fun things Galore!' Really. I should know better by now. I popped the bow, tossed the box top behind me, reached inside through the tissue paper clouds floating above the submerged gift, and pulled out ... hmmm ... a tea pot. 'Great,' I said to myself, 'now I can sit at home alone tonight and make tea.' I shouldn't complain though ... it's kind of a kick ass tea pot.
It came in quite handy the following year - when I forced the guy I was dating into going out for dinner on Valentine's Day (God I hate it when people don't want to celebrate something as stupid as Valentine's Day). All was going well until desert ... when the food poisoning really kicked in. Luckily, we had different dishes and I was fine. I'm still trying to figure out if it is technically still a 'date' if one of you ends up passed out on the bathroom floor after vomiting for hours. Sigh. I slept on the couch that night and spent the entire next day making pot upon pot of hot tea to soothe the guy's poor tummy.
Yesterday turned out to be quite a day as well. I was kind of worried for a bit in the middle that the day wasn't going to live up to expectations ... but it proved (once again) to be my lucky day in more ways than one.
