Little Cozy Corner

Today’s Valentine’s Day……have you something special planned for your loved one[s]? For us, nothing is planned and today is like any other day for me really. Ted got me a lovely card, a rose scented gift set of candles and a moveable clothes rack which I have been talking about for ages. So yes, I am VERY happy with all the gifts I have receive even though no physical rose is in sight - I have many on the gift bag.

But you know what, I honestly don’t mind it at all because I know how bloody expensive roses are today - they charge you an arm and a leg for a rose, that’s just insane! And guys, seriously…..it IS a waste of money and sadly, I can’t offer you any other alternative ideas but to buy her something she wants. And unless you know your woman well enough or have been observant [HAHAHA!] enough to notice what she’s been talking about for what seems like a lifetime, then I guess you’re in trouble for you are sure to buy something that is going to end up at the back of the closet and not to be found this in century. But look on the bright side though, once found it will be considered an antique.

But if you’re not the buying kind or can’t think of anything to get - cook up a meal that ends with dessert for her/him. Get all romantic and place candles on the table, a rose in a long neck vase [perferably one which you've been growing in the last year or so though mine would never have survived sad to say], some wine [sparkling Ribena is ok to if you're allergic to alchohol] and some Barry White in the background [unless My Chemical Romance rocks both your boats]. Be sure that the dessert has lime in it [if possible la] because from personal exeperience….*ahem* let’s just say that it makes kissing a helluva lot yummy!!

Soooooooo…..what did I get for Ted? Well, I have very good excuse for getting the bare minimum - I’m home with bub so I did manage to sneak out to get him a card and a bar of dark chocolate which he loves so guess I didn’t do THAT bad. In any case, hope that today and everyday is like Valentine’s Day for you - filled with lots of love, hugs and kisses.
