Happy Love Day

I hope everyone had a blessed day.

I started my day going to the beau's house with my son. The beau wanted to include my son in the festivities. We got sidetracked watching Man on Fire (good flick too!) and then went to IHop. After that we went to the zoo and then stopped by the parents. We ate at Bistro VG, which is a really nice restaurant. Sorry, I left the cam at home so didn't have any pics of the day. But here are a few things I captured afterwards:

Diamond & Flowers.....a girl's best friend

Tomorrow's Agenda

Valentine's Day Eve (which is Friday the 13th - how freaky is that) is going to be a busy day for me. I need to stop procrastinating.

My to do list:
Step 1) Wake up and make breakfast for the son

Step 2) Go and get my hair done

Step 3) Get nails and eyebrows done (I really should have gotten my nails done yesterday....argh)

Step 4) Pick up my beau's gift

Step 5) Go to MAC and buy some essentials (Lip liner, Lip glass, and Fluidline)

Do all this and make it to work by 3:30 P.M? Errh....I may have to take a half day tomorrow. Dag nab it!

Be My Valentine

Valentines Day is coming. If you have a significant other, what do you plan on doing? Here are a few ideas:


1) Get a couple's massage





2) Take a cooking class together






3) Wine tasting



4) Get professional pictures taken together


5) Quiet night at home with just the 2 of you. Plan a new and different meal together, go to the grocery store together, and then cook together (equally dividing up the work). And then have a candlelight dinner just the two of you with soft music playing in the background.

I personally have NO idea what me and the beau are doing. He hasn't mentioned anything so we shall see. But seriously, what do guys really want for these by of Holidays? They say they don't want anything but if you don't get them something they seem crushed. If I was a guy, here are some things that I thought could work:

1) Bake him his favorite treat. My guy LOVES strawberry shortcakes.

2) Goodie basket filled with cute and personal items (for example, a new toothbrush holder, a picture frame of yourself, pajama's and slippers)

3) Wallet or an electric shaver

4) If you're not married pick a part of his crib and redecorate it. I am leaning toward this idea. Possibly redecorating his bathroom

5) If I can't think of anything else creative, I will resort to the standard cologne or clothes gift.
