So, funny enough, Valentine's Day last night was more just like any other night that we hang out and cook dinner. Sure, I came home to find bags and boxes of chocolates and candy, and a beautiful card. Also, the two glasses of wine that were already poured and the cheese plate he prepared didn't hurt. We exchanged some little things we got for eachother, drank wine, talked, cooked dinner, and watched Lost. Actually, it was kinda perfect.
We are really celebrating this Saturday night, when he is taking me out to a super fancy seafood restaurant on the ocean, where we will be able to eat oysters (OK, just me) and lobster (both of us) while guzzling champagne. Cannot wait.
Work has gone full speed ahead with the strike ending - at least for me. C is still out of work because the show he was working on hasn't officially been picked back up. It's a bit of a bummer for him, although he has rarely had any time off since he moved to LA 6 years ago, and when he does, he never worries or stresses about it (like I do), and always manages to find a job pretty quickly. Cross your fingers for him.
This weekend should be fun - tonight, dinner and drinks with friends, tomorrow night is our fancy dinner, and Sunday is open houses. Loves it. I hope all of you had a fantastic V-day and have an even more fantastic weekend!
That sounds like a pretty lovely way to spend V-Day! And I hope you have a wonderful time this weekend! And thank CRAP the strike is over.
:)

Sounds like a great V-day. I had oysters for the first time a few months ago and they were so much tastier than I thought they would be. Enjoy your fancy dinner!
