LOVE Day

So it is a little late...but, like my Aunt Sheila always says, better late than never.

Valentime's Day was on Monday. (Yes...ValenTIMES) I like to pretend and say that I HATE this holiday...but I do not. I LOVE it. Yep. LOVE. Jason, on the other hand, hates this holiday. He thinks its all lame and a greeting card holiday and yadda yadda yadda. BUT I disagree. In day to day life it is easy to forget to show the ones you love how much you love them. And no, taking out the trash does not equal love. (Just responsibility) SO...I like it because it is nice to be reminded that someone loves you. (Unless you are single...in which case...Valentime's Day really, really blows)

Jason and I had been going through a bit of a rough patch so he wasn't very sure we were doing a Valentime's day thing..but Saturday I sweetly said, "Are you getting me a Valentine's present? Because I got you one, so you need to get me one." (Seriously..you HAVE to TELL the man this sort of thing..or he won't do it. He needs instruction. He even admits to this. So...no. I was not being a total bitch)

Jason's gift giving abilities started out BAD ASS in 2010. Last Valentime's day he got my a package to a spa, where I got a massage and my hairs did. But then it started going downhill. (I won't go into details..for his sake) SO..Monday rolled around and I had my hopes up. I asked Jason to meet me for lunch since he had the day off. And at lunch I warned him that he better do something good...because my gift for him was bad ass. I told him what was NOT a good gift..so he had some clarity. ((And seriously..this was all joking..but in a joking/threatening kind of way..I needed a good Valentime's day ya'll))

So Monday night I had to go to Sprint because my phone was being a piece of shit and not charging. I sat there for like an hour and was exhausted and ready to go home and see what was in store for me. AND I really wanted to give Jason his present.

When I got out of the car Jason and Bowen met me outside. Inside the house Jason had decorated our coffee table with a pink table cloth, fresh strawberries, a pineapple, a box for microwavable chocolate fondue stuff (LOL I know I know..but its ok), his gift bag, his cards, my card, and the cupcakes I made the night before.

Ok....I really thought all I was getting was fruit and chocolate. Which I had to cut up and melt and dip...myself. (Uhh yes..maybe a little diva-ish, but it was Valentime's day for God's sake) SO...I said, "This is nice J..open your present." And he opened tickets to go see a Rangers spring training game. ((OK I would have bought REAL game tickets, but they were never close enough to us...so this will have to work)) And then he gave me my card. Which was SO appropriate with everything that had been going on. AND FINALLY....another gift. Are you ready?!?!

Tickets to see ERIC CLAPTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was shocked and happy!! I had mentioned Eric Clapton like months ago, but the tickets were pretty effing high..so obviously wasn't going to buy them.

Anyways...all in all it was a great Valentime's. Jason is off to a good start in the 2011 gift giving area and March 6th we will be listening to Cocaine performed by the man himself, up close and personal (ok..in the same arena)!!!

So not only was Valentime's phenomenal...but I think our 2011 is finally make a turn for the better. Here is to lots of love in the coming months!!! <3>
