The last time I went out for Valentines Day I got food poisoning from lunch earlier and projectile vomited all over the bathroom, barely even making it in there, so ya, no more of that. Pretty sure I severely traumatized the women all dressed up in the bathroom. My BF at the time got it too by the time we got home. The Uber driver thought I was drunk and threatened to not drive us, good times.
Update: I don’t have to decide anything about my friendship with the guy I posted about above,I just found out he blocked me everywhere. Moving on…
I like to stay in for Valentine’s Day too. My husband gets me flowers, and I make him what I call the “man bouquet” – I get a bunch of sturdy wooden skewers, stick them in some Styrofoam packed into the bottom of a heavy vase, and tape things he likes to the skewers: his favourite beers, BBQ chips and other snacks, pre-workout and supplements, maybe a gift card. It’s fun to make and always well-received. I surprise him every year with a new set of matching lingerie.
We do go out for dinner, but usually on the weekend before or after the 14th. We’re frugal and we cook a lot, so dining out is our Thing for special occasions.
Oh the man bouquet is really clever.
I am so pent up with all this snow and not getting out. Thinking I am about to do some damage at Target to rebel. haha
Going to grab this mat for our mud room.

I am tired of my house having puddles everywhere. If someone could advise how to get a teenager to actually do what you ask (take shoes off in the mud room) I would love to hear it.
Also hoping I might find a good absorbent type of rug I can put in there too. I saw one somewhere not that long ago meant just for it but can’t for the life of me remember where, plus I am only going to Target since it is snowing again soon so I’ll just look there.
@ale Good riddance to that guy! I hope you’re not feeling bad about that. Sometimes things like that will make me wonder what *I* did to “deserve” it, even when I know it’s the other person and not me.
We were given the option of working remote today because of how cold it is. I was on the fence until I took my dog out this morning. The air stings any exposed skin, so if I have the option of not standing in the bitter cold waiting on public transit, I’ll take it.
Down another .8 lbs. Was a little disappointed because I want things the move faster, but I know after losing over 2 the week before, it was bound to slow a bit. I’m going to work on snacking less this week. I discovered dried mangos this week and it was a sugar lover’s no-sugar-added dream come true.
I’m so happy I’m in Napa today and not Chicago!!!!
This will be the first V-day I’m celebrating maybe ever. We have broadway in Chicago season tickets and our evening is the 2nd thurs after a show starts. Our Dear Evan Hansen tickets happen to fall on V-day. We could prob make a killing, but I really want to see that one.
@ktfran Will you be back by Wednesday? The high is supposed to be -13! It was “only” -5 or so when I was out this morning (I think pushing -30 real feel), but I truly cannot imagine what it’s going to feel like when the HIGH is -13. Add wind into that, and just nope. I feel a little guilty staying home, I know it’s a luxury a lot of people don’t have. On the bright side, usually when the temps get back up to, like, 18 after cold snaps, it feels downright balmy!
On the news this a.m. they said this weekend -30 windchills. Good lord. I didn’t know I moved to Mount freaking Everest!
