Valentines Weekend Revealed..

Alright.. so it didn't happen. Plans changed, but what did happen was likely better then any planned surprise meal Neil could have planned. But maybe a bit more expensive.


My Valentine's Day Present from Neil, and mine to him was a big, flat (flat, not fat) LG 42 inch LCD TV. Yes, nothing says love like a big LG. 

The kitchen was a disaster, and the maid never showed up!

So needless to say, our weekend's plans changed very quickly after this purchase. Neil confessed Friday night, after I told him not to worry about dinner and his plans Saturday night after his big purchase on Friday afternoon that he was planning to take me to Wildcraft in Waterloo. I took him there for his birthday last year, and it was delicious - and really really nice! However, instead we had a lovely night at home, I made steak and mushrooms linguine pasta, and a chocolate molten lava cake with whipped cream, and raspberry coulis for dessert. Dinner was excellent!!

The staff was wonderful!

So instead of going out, spending money we didn't need to and having fun - we stayed in, saved our money (well except for the TV) and enjoyed being home, and staying warm. 

So Valentines Day was a hit, in our own little way - and we're so happy that we have a tv on the main floor, because it's freezing downstairs without a fire on all the time - and it'll be nice to be able to actually sit on the couch together. Our furniture in the basement was supposed to be upstairs, and the upstairs furniture was supposed to be in the basement but when we moved in nothing would fit properly - so it went where it fit. So our comfy uglies are in the upstairs living room, and our nicer stuff, is in the basement. Oh well, it ends up working out fine for us!

 Hope yours was special too!
