Ok so that was 3 awkward conversations over my limit…

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

Valentines Day 2012

Best V-day on record…we kept it low-key and celebrated the weekend prior to the actual day…in deference to my legendary hatred of the commercialism that surrounds this holiday…

I made dinner. Started with a spinach caprese salad with home-made red wine vinaigrette. Followed white wine steamed mussels over angel hair pasta with a light tomato/EVOO/garlic sauce.

Then a bit of a rush out the door for the entertainment portion of the evening.

Ballet <3

San Diego Rep’s show titled “Romance”. First act was a compilation of couples through theatrical history dancing to famous love songs. Second act the abridged version of Romeo & Juliet. We both enjoyed it quite a bit, although I had issues with some of their costuming choices.

End the night with music and poetry at home.

Could not have asked for a better evening. I’m so lucky to have someone in my life I can do these kinds of things with.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…

San Diego cab drivers are the worst cab drivers.

They don’t know where anything is and get super pissed if you can’t give them step by step directions.

Pretty sure that driving is your fucking job buddy. Now take the address I gave you, put it in your gps, and please don’t talk to me.

Damn.

So Valentine’s Day is coming up…

All I want is a surprise. Not the kind that comes with an expensive dinner tab or a glass vase or even one that comes in a velvet box.

Take my breath away with the look in your eyes.

Sweep me off my feet with your words.

Warm my heart with the touch of your fingertips.

See…I’m not cynical, I’m just hopelessly devoted to romance <3
