Work, soccer practice, come home and eat dinner, go to sleep early so I can be ready for parent teacher conferences with my students' parents on Friday.
I've got nothing romantic planned for Pixie. (I left her card and her present by her lap top so she would find them when she woke up)
All I have planned today, is picking Hannah up from school at 3pm, trying to find ways to keep her amused and occupied until dinner time (possibly going out on her bike to the park). After she has gone to bed I will collapse on the sofa shattered.
To be honest, other than cards, I don't really do Valentines Day...
Relationships can and should have romance and snuggles (and noisy snuggles, lol) on any day. Not just the day ordained by restaurants wanting to make more money.
We exchanged cards, Dave left a little pressie by my computer, then we have Hannah and I have Bible study. Then I'll come home and we'll veg on the sofa, as always :o) I never did need big overblown gestures to feel loved, just 'iccle ones.
It's the card companies not the restaurants that want to make money out of Valentines day. The restaurant would normally have 10 tables of 4 people all eating and drinking, but Valentines comes along, there are only half the number of people in the restaurant, taking their time, feeding each other, more interested in getting home to continue snuggling (with grunting, groaning and bouncy bed springs) to spend any more money than they have to. They generally forget to tip either
A two hour drive to another city to attend a meeting and a cultural compentency brainstorming session with a professor from UNM to gather information from that part of the region.
Three hours there and then another 2 hour drive home this afternoon.
Attend class and answer discussion questions and prepare for another research paper and PPP for next week's assignment.
We already had our V. Day here. Strangely enough, Lao people really get into it, so I got dragged along. Just got back from drinking beer and Mongolian bar-be-que - the boys in the office treated us girls.
Shower, shopping, make myself something tres tasty, and possibly watching Love Actually.
I think I might get myself one of those nice Belgian chocolate hearts so I can smash it into little pieces, but still have really good chocolate to enjoy. ;)
Shopping, missing the bf, going to the doctor, missing the bf, playing with the cat, missing the bf, cleaning the bathroom, missing the bf, watching TV, missing the bf.
I left small gifts and cards out for my girls to find this morning when they woke up (girls being smaller and Spill). Opened our presents from mom and dad, and then I went to work. The highlight of my day was leaving early and getting smaller before 6pm. :)
Tonight I'm making breakfast for dinner and relaxing!

Not with a bang, but a whimper.
