Happy Valentine's Day!



I love Valentine's Day! I know there are people out there that loathe this holiday and to them, I'm sorry. I do have to say that I hate roses, especially red ones, so Valentine's Day may be a little daunting for Merril. Seriously, red roses are so boring and cliche. The world is full of beautiful calla lillies, hydrangeas, tulips, gerber daisies, etc. This morning I was greeted with Stargazer lillies. Merril has always been extra creative for the Valentine's Day bouquets. Good job, babe!

I'm baking heart-shaped brownies for Merril's dessert and I can smell the chocolatey goodness waft in from the kitchen. I will be having strawberries dipped in marshmallow cream. We'll be putting the kids to bed and Merril and I are going to spend the evening at home and I'm making him a fancy dinner. We went out last year to a super fancy party and I just wanted to stay home and be super relaxed this year. I love to cook and tonight's going to be yummy. I can't do my special 3-cheese fondue this year, that'll have to wait 'till next year.

By the way, I made burned my first movie to a DVD today. I was making a Valentine's movie for my sister. It was her present to her husband. It was a lot of fun, a little frustrating but in the end turned out really nice. Thanks to Amy for being the resident movie expert and allowing me to pick her brain.

how fun. I don't hate V-day, but I definitely don't make that big of a deal. We always go to dinner, but exchanging gifts is usually pretty low key. And I'm all about NOT cooking on those special occasions, but then again, that is a difference between you and I...you love the cooking thing...me, not so much!
