happy valentine's day!

12 years ago today the husband and I had our first date. Dude, that makes me feel old. Yes, I acknowledge that a first date on Valentine's day is a bit sappy, but I like sap.

No big plans for the day other than consumption of too much sugar and chocolate, as if I needed a reason! In fact, I am working tonight. Bleh. Ken and the little dude will be having a quiet evening at home with the chocolate and I'll be showing houses. Not that I'm complaining.

Bex and I are making a little something special for the Dad-Man this afternoon. Don't worry, I'll post pictures.

I promise to do a Tet party recap on the next day or so.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
