Valentines day

Right, first some good news. P has a house, and is significantly less stressed, YAY!!! *bounces*

Valentines day well I know a lot of people disagree with it on various principle but I'm happy to celebrate because well its an excuse to buy P presents and take her out for a meal without her being allowed to complain about how much I'm spending on her.

I bought her a single red rose (because well I've always wanted to do that), a small soft teddybear that smells of vanilla (an impulse buy that to be honest I couldn't go wrong with; its soft, cute and smells of vanilla;-) ) and lastly were going out for a meal tonight.

Though for all those who would wish to deride my falling for the commercialism of the date I would like to point out the following. The rose (and the teddy bear) is a from a good flower shop near Bear Flat that wasn't overpriced, and will last for at the very least a week. The restaurant has its usual menu and not a special over priced valentines version (which would cause additional problems in terms of what P would want to eat). Lastly, meh, its my choice what I do anyway :-P

Ice Cream

Being fed half a tub of Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream, seemed like a good idea right up to about the last third.
