V-day 2009

Kevin and I celebrated our second Valentine's day together. This year he prepared a candlelight dinner. ALSO...tickets to see Charlie Murphy in the Comic Strip. I didn't know who he was..but apparently famous and also the brother of Eddie Murphy.His Roast was DELICIOUS!! I personally thought the whole meal was better than any classy restaurant we've been to.
We had homemade mashed potatos, corn and squash spagetti (Very healthy and YUMMY!). He bought strawberry crepe for dessert (which I never got to eat because I was too full) and also a bottle of red wine. The bottle of red wine was expensive! The problem was that Kevin only had a sip of it and decided he doesn't like wine (no matter how he tried) so I had to think of ways to NOT waste it. I went online to google, to see how I can perserve it. But most advises were about decanters or putting it in a special bottle...I wanted to call my friend, but I knew everyone else were busy celebrating Valentine's day too. So I decided to drink most of it.
When I got up in the morning, this was how empty it was:
OMG. I finished a whole bottle of wine!:( There goes my diet!
I slept really early that night...Kevin said I was in the washroom and he had to use a toothpick to open it. And he found me sleeping on the floor. I have no recollection of going in there..all I remember that night was him throwing me in bed and saying how I am not ever getting a full bottle of wine again!
hehe..

Sorry for ruining the night babe. Below is a picture of ME, before dinner and drinking.
See, even girls with a big huge zit deserve to be loved!

On the 15th I had dinner with a few of my friends at Earls. I got to meet Elena's boyfriend..FINALLY. We all had a goooood time. (except it felt like I had to pop my ears every few minutes- it was def. from all that drinking). Kevin had to miss out on the dinner because his work was bullying him and made him work 2 shifts in a row!!

On the 16th I went shopping at West Edmonton Mall. Kevin returned his pair of jeans and also got me a pair of white gold earrings. I feel so pampered lately. But he can stop now..I don't want to be spoilt.
Even when he was being nice to me, I found time to lecture him about gift buying. I prefer gifts to be something chosen by the person giving it and also if they can, let it be a surprise. I totally dislike how a lot of girls bring their boyfriends to the mall and expect them to pay for things they like but can't afford. OR people who demand for their gifts! Gifts are suppose to be meaningful..it means so much more when there's a sentimental value behind it. I personally love the things that cost the least in a present. The way you wrapped it, what you wrote in the card...
So, BOYS! next time save your money and dont correlate expensive gifts with a girls happiness.

hmm..continuing on..
After shopping we went to Wildflower (a very fancy restaurant) to meet up with his mom and brother. They are such FOOD lovers! Everytime the waiter would introduce a dish to me I would have no idea what he just said. So when his mom asked me what was on my dish..all I could remember was pork and potato. haha..

Well, back to studying for the rest of the week. Kevin is getting his wisdom teeth extracted today...and I have lots of cleaning and studying to do!

First of all...WHAT ZIT?! I can't even see it in your picture. You are full of craziness. And I can't believe Kevin had to pick the lock to get to you. HAHAHA...I must have missed that part if you told me on Sunday night. Oh, and you still could have called me up on Valentine's day about how to preserve the wine. We were at a late dinner anyway and decided to watch a movie at Tim's place. Well, anyhoo...now you know. If you don't have any fancy device to preserve the wine, just cork it back up and refrigerate it. It would be good for 1 or 2 days..then after that you might as well use it for cooking. Anyway, it's nice being pampered once in a while..but as we've discussed last night about the whole gift giving thing..I totally agree with you. Just don't give Kevin such a hard time for trying to please you. =)

Whether I am....
