Supa already told me that he really needed to give me my Valentine's present on Friday after work because he just couldn't wait until Saturday. OK....
So, when I got home on Friday, there was a beautiful bouquet of 12 white roses and mixed flowers waiting on me!
 |
| Awww! So pretty! |
I thought that was my surprise! Nope, I walk into my closet to change and I see this hanging there:
 |
| What? Is that for ME??!! :) |
I waited until after we had dinner to open it and here was what was inside:
**A beautiful card with a book written inside in Supa's best handwriting ;) It almost made me cry!
**A solid chocolate heart (because he knows that at times I NEED chocolate)
**A box of assorted chocolate candies
**A box of my favorite candy of all time, Andes mints
Good job, Supa!!! You always know how to rock my world! I love you!!
He told me not to get him anything (he thinks this is supposed to be a woman's day) but I couldn't go out like that. SO I got him this:
 |
| If you want your husband to love you, just get him XBOX live points. :) |
Saturday morning we did get up super early and go to my job's annual meeting/breakfast. Dazzle and Neon stayed home in the warm house playing video games. (How I think Supa longed to stay with them....)
We got to the meeting and Nearly and Lolly were there waiting on us. We went inside and signed in. As we were walking to the big room to find a table, one of the people at the door said, "Wait! Your husband is a member so he gets a raffle ticket! Don't forget your ticket, you might win!" (Haha, fat chance lady, we never win anything but we'll take one anyhow)
We got a table way in the corner of the room. PERFECT! We mingled for a little while, kissing and hugging my friends that work at other branches. I even got to meet one person that I'm friends with over email and phone but we've never seen each other in person. That was a fun time!
We definitely ate enough free breakfast ;) They had a good bit of food and it was really yummy!!
Then the meeting started. I tried not to snore too loud and I had to poke Supa to keep him from misbehaving. I mostly just looked around the room for more friends :) Then the raffle started. This year they just gave away cold, hard cash. Employee's were not eligible to participate in the raffle so it was all on Supa to win!
They gave away some $20.00 prizes, didn't call our number......
They gave away some $50.00 prizes, still didn't call our number......
They gave away some $100.00 prizes, AND THEY CALLED OUR NUMBER!!!!
I had the ticket in my hand, paying attention to the numbers and when they called our number I shoved the ticket at Supa and said, "I can't win! But you won!!" Then our whole table started screaming! WOOOOO HOOOOOO!
NO WAY!!! $100.00 smack-a-roos!! Thank you to my wonderful place of employment!! We sure weren't expecting that!!
We left the meeting with big smiles on our faces and homeward bound we went!
We hung out at the house for a little while and made the kids lunch. (We sure weren't hungry) Then we were off to Target to get BREAKING DAWN! YAY! I got the collectors edition and I was so excited to finally have it in my possession!
<Insert awesome picture here, fuck I am so bad about taking pictures!>
We left Target and went to the mall. I was expecting Build A Bear to be slammed but they actually weren't that busy. I think there were 2 people ahead of us. We had fun with the kids and that's what it's all about!
Dazzle picked out a puppy with brown and white spots and named him Edward Fudge DeLarye :) She got him a skeleton hoodie and he looks really sharp.
Neon picked out a German Shepard. He also got the puppy to go with it that magnetically hangs from his mouth (too cute) and a camouflage hardhat. :) For some reason, he must be planning on putting is pup to work.
We had a blast and got some cute gift ideas just by looking around. Then we mosied on over to Aeropostale because Dazzle really needed a new hoodie. We found her one on sale and that mission was accomplished!
 |
| I love seeing what she likes the most and picks out on her own. She usually does a pretty good job. |
We headed back home and I got to take a little, tiny nap. Then it was time to get up and get ready for Nearly to come over! Yep! She felt much better and decided she could still come hang out with the kids.
I had perfect timing and I was ready to go when Nearly arrived. We ran to Subway together to get their dinner:
 |
| All 3 of them wanted BLT's hold the "T" :) So that's what they got!! |
Then Nearly and I ran to the store so that I could get Jade some Valentine's day flowers to go with the card that I got her. :) I knew she would love that and she's my Valentine too!
We hurried back home so I could arrange Jade's bouquet and she was pretty surprised when she got there and saw this:
 |
| I hope you loved your flowers Jade because I love you!! |
We hung out with Nearly for a little while and then it was time to leave for dinner!! We arrived right on time for our 6:30PM reservation. We looked everywhere for a parking spot but we were downtown on a Saturday night SO there was nowhere to park! We decided to take advantage of the restaurant's complimentary valet parking. That was the first time Supa or I had ever valet parked our vehicle. It was interesting. They even opened the car door for me! ;)
The restaurant (Cowboys Brazilian Steakhouse) was absolutely amazing. The buffet with the side items on it included some strange things I had never tried before. I should have taken pictures. I really felt like I was on Top Chef eating fine dining like a rich person! We were joking around and saying that this was the rich people's Ryan's. LOL
We had prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, some really great chicken salad, blue cheese, fresh Parmesan, a variety of olives and cold cuts...It was soooo good!
 |
| This was my plate after I left the buffet. |
Then they also bring to your table, a never ending plate of fried bananas and fried polenta. I had never had polenta before and it is my new favorite! I don't even know what polenta is but I know now that it is GOOOD!
 |
| The fried bananas were ok...but the polenta...wow. |
Then the men started coming around with the meat. I had only like 2 pieces of meat put on my plate. The entire rest of the meal, I just ate meat off of Supa and Jade's plates because I wanted to just have a bite of everything so I could taste it all. They were feeding me meat the entire time! LOL When we were finished
We left dinner and drove just a little way down the road to Wet Willies. For anyone that's not from here, Wet Willies is a bar that serves alcoholic slushies. OH YUM! I got a large mudslide and Supa got a small slushie called "Call A Cab". He knew he could have one drink and drive us home safely. WELL APPARENTLY NOT if you're drinking Call A Cab. He drank about 1/4 of the little glass and his cheeks got pink! He said, that's plenty for me! Jade and I drank our wonderful chocolate slushies and then had to drink Supa's! We got 2 straws and got the job done! We were having a hell of a time getting those thick slushies down when we were SOOOO full! LOL! But there was no way in hell I was paying $15.00 for two slushies (holy shit) and throwing some away! No way!
Needless to say, Jade and I were singing our asses off in the truck on the way home. Little tipsy much? :)
We went home, hung out for a bit and then passed out! We were so tired. What a wonderful, very memorable Valentine's day!
Sunday, we just hung out in our PJ's and relaxed. Supa was at work of course so we found some stuff to keep us busy. We baked banana muffins, baked a red velvet cake, make pasta salad and chicken salad for the week and watched BREAKING DAWN! We also watched the second disk of extras and it was SOOOO good!
Until Tomorrow,
Apple
**Polenta - (especially in Italian cooking) a thick mush of cornmeal.
HOW THE FUCK AM I GOING TO BE ITALIAN AND NOT KNOW WHAT POLENTA IS?!?! Now I feel like a complete fraud! LOL, and let me tell you, when you fry it, it's no longer mush. It's heaven!!!
