And a big snowstorm hits...

Isn't it nice how there I was enjoying pictures of my nieces playing in the snow and here I am in the middle of a snowstorm myself? I actually love it. My physical therapy got cancelled, it's Valentine's Day and it's beautiful outside! I just wish I had some winter clothes and someone to go make a snowman with...

I'm not bragging when I say this, but this is the first Valentine's Day I will be spending by myself. No, I didn't always have a boyfriend but on those 'Vdays' that I didn't have a boy wooing me, I would celebrate with other single friends. This year, I'm away from home and even away from my 'home away from home'. The sweet folks I'm staying with are off skiing with their friends for the evening and as I do not have anything that is waterproof, I'm passing on their invite to come along. So, this will be the first time I'll be celebrating 'love' all by myself, and the kicker is that I'm sooo excited!

So far, I've had blueberry Eggos for breakfast while standing up. None of this sitting down to a healthy bowl of cereal crap for me today. Instead of reading the economist over breakfast, I took 15 minutes to read some more of the novel I'm tackling as bedtime reading. It's a true, trashy 'chick' novel called 'In Her Shoes', which you might have seen on film. I refuse to see it till I finish the book.

For lunch, I had half a frozen pizza and a avocado, sprout and spinach salad. OK, I know what you're thinking but I actually like salads; but you're right, that is a bit too healthy! I thought so too which is why I followed up with half a chocolate bar. After all, it is Valentine's Day and that practically means "Chocolate Eating Day". I couldn't let the media down and not participate...

For anyone at the office that's reading this, I did work today between breakfast and lunch, as well as the 2 hour long conference call we had this afternoon. BUT, this evening, I'm signing off at 6pm not to return until tomorrow morning. *I* have big plans...

Originally I planned a healthy tofu, sprout, carrot and broccoli stir fry for this evening but after much thinking, that will simply NOT do. So...I haven't quite figured out my main course but whatever it is that I will eat, it will be followed by dark chocolate ice cream and banana slices, lots of red wine and popped kettle corn. For entertainment, I've got several things lined up starting with 3 episodes of Gray's Anatomy (just jumped on the band wagon two days ago with Season 1) followed by a movie of my choice...yes, MY choice. No one will be around to make faces or sound unenthusiastic about my movie choice or to smirk as I fill up on chocolate and popcorn - my 'feel good' staples. It will simply be awesome...

Robert, if you are reading this, you better start planning next year's Valentine's Day as this one will be VERY hard to top! *smirk*

To all those celebrating, rock on! "Love" truly is worth taking the time to appreciate. To all those residing in my heart, whether you're actually paying rent or not is irrelevant, a big "I love you!" goes out to you all, and a special shout out to Casemonster, the furry fuzzbutt love of my life...oh and Rob too, love you tons!

Happy Valentine's Day!!
