I had the flowers delivered this morning. My wife and I don't make much of a big deal over Valentines day but....as it is....the washer in this rental house is broken and I'm having plumbing work done at our house (just next door) so we can't do laundry over there right now either. So I thought it would be a nice gesture to offer to take all the laundry to the laundromat so she didn't have to. She politely declined but took me along with her to help. Then I went and ordered the new hardwood flooring she wanted for the house. For her part, she told me I can have whatever I want for dinner tonight. So I picked a dish with brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, onions and bacon, fried and topped with fried eggs. Pancakes on the side. I was going to pick steak but we had that last night.
Ive decided wine, a homemade Italian dinner, a little black dress, heels, red lipstick, and no underwear is how I shall celebrate valentines day with my honey.
I love legginngs..am wearing them right now...wear them all winter here..... Blizzarding out there.....and roads are not plowed yet out there, so may be staying home tonight and making linguini and clam sauce instead..... One day I am going to that Italian retaurant I never tried before and getting one of their heroes to go.... Can go eat seafood another time....soon.
I initially said pork chops but then got distracted by a picture of some tasty looking pancakes. And bonus! She brought me home some great beers from the store! We will go to our local brewery sometime after dinner and then maybe enjoy some of these IPAs later. I'm so glad she finally came around to quality beer. It grows on you.
Ijust wastched the most awesome show on animal planet called...Animals in Love....mating for life.....and it was beautiful. The story of the elephants and their emotions in it made me cry. they feel things so deeply....I think almost more than us....well, maybe not....but at least as much.....other stories of animals, too in the hour that was wonderful......
I got sucked into a fairly lighthearted conversation about our relationship and how to make more of it. She was right...as usual. I admit it. She wasn't faulting me specifically but pointing out things we should both pay attention to. I suppose a good garden still needs to be tended to.
I think I'll continue on with mine for a second day. Hubby has to pace himself, you know. Not 25 anymore.
Love..... is meeting in the heart, soul and mind and sharing and caring...it has equal footing... It is not dominating someone else or trying to rule them or demanding. that is just control and power issues, not love.
nor is it expecting some to just accept. love is about honesty compassion compromise and having each others back. i think
my f'in head hurts....as i twisted my neck last night, and my mood is going from bad to worse all of a sudden.....i am about ready to throw a fit, so i should just leave,. It is freakin cold out there, and I must go out for a little bit anyway with dogs.....and I am in a shit mood all of a sudden....
