Death by chocolate will be on my tombstone I am afraid. It was a nice day that started out with people going from room to room passing out chocolate boxes. I got a MCd's gift card for each of the three oldest boys. We had a lovely dinner, with prime rib cooked to perfection. All we did today besides listening to church, was eat and watch TV and nap. It was lovely. Actually a perfect Valentine day.
Today is Daniel's birthday and he is 10. I can't believe he is that old. I actually started reading blogs when I was at my daughters house when she was having Danny. I The first blog I read was Rhitter's,she and I have been on this debt journey for a long time. It is fun to go back and read how I was trying to pay off the truck we are now thinking of getting rid of soon. SO much has happened in 12 years. B was in Jr. High when I started blogging.
Hubs went out with daughter and bought me a few things for Valentines day and they were thoughtful and cute. He is a horrible gift selector and must have help. I received two candles and I had asked for candles rather than chocolates, as they have less calories. He also bought me a soft pink blanket throw, which I have been eyeing. Very nice and useful things.
We will celebrate Danny today, and I have no idea other than McDonalds and Dairy queen cake and presents. Another day of over eating. Just what we all need !
Did you do anything fun for Valentines day ? Did you get any chocolates, or flowers? Did you cook a special meal?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

Sounds like a wonderful time
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was.
DeleteSounds like a perfect time!
ReplyDeleteI had a nice Valentines day. Bill bought me a chocolate bouquet, made me breakfast, we went on a nice snowy hike, and he and I had yummy Mexican takeout for dinner. The kids were excited as I made them dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets for dinner and they got to stay up late watching tv since there is no school today. Lol and yes we all ate way too much chocolate.
Well that is what Valentines day is all about!
DeleteSounds like you're having a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteWe are. but I am anxious to get home.
DeleteSounds like you had a wonderful day and the pink blanket sounds so delightful! My oldest son was in the middle of a rare ice storm in north Alabama, at work, and I could not go to sleep last night until he texted me he was home safe. He is without power but he is home. I was worried sick, as we are not equipped to deal with ice storms, no one has snow tires, nor chains ( I mean it was like 70 degrees last week) and he had to drive home on hilly country unsalted roads. It is colder where he lives than down here. My daughter sent me videos of grandchild in Utah, that is the best we can do in Covid times, and my youngest two sons texted me. The baby boy is gradually getting over strep. I gave strict orders to everyone not to buy me anything because my house is full of my uncles’ and mother’s things, I need to lose weight, and the weather is dreadful for here. I, of course, had frozen red velvet cupcakes from a couple of weeks ago. So much for losing weight...ha! Now the middle son, who lives the middle part of Alabama, is going to dentist this morning for fillings and the rain where he lives will not freeze until tonight, so he should be ok. I kinda flip out about ice.
ReplyDeleteIce is always a hazard, but here we know we have it, and there you have people who don't know how to deal with it. Much more dangerous.
DeleteWell, update, he was in the second storm, which started while he was at work.Three cars slid off road in same spot, including his.We do not have equipment to clear roads. A couple of nice folks with four wheel drive took him home at 1 am in morning after he sat shivering in his car for a few hours.
DeleteI took Sam to meet his sweet girlfriend at the park. She made him a cherry dessert (with help from her grandmother) which was fabulous. So we had that and chocolate for dessert. Yum. I made dinner, & burned my hand, like a fool. The food was great, but I struggled to stay in a good mood, as my hand was absolutely throbbing. Slept on an ice pack & didn't fall asleep until 1 am. Maybe next time I'll remember the oven mitt?
ReplyDeleteBoy nothing hurts worse than a burn. I have had burns where I did not sleep all night.
DeleteWhen my time comes to go, chocolate might be a good way to go. LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Daniel!
Thanks Belinda and I want to go with you.
DeleteI got to go to the lake house and pack boxes for the movers who are coming Tuesday. Yep it was a fun Valentine's. Romantic too!
ReplyDeleteI talked to Slug and she set me straight. I still thought you were going to live in the lake house, and then I thought you sold it and then back to thinking you wee keeping the lake house. So confused. Happy you had a nice Valentines day!
DeleteNo big day, here. I bought us each a chocolate candy, that’s it. We celebrate throughout the year. I’m not a fan of hallmark holidays. Flowers on an ordinary Tuesday mean more to me.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
I love Valentines day, I think becasue we have so much to celebrate around it. OUr daughter Franka was buried on Valentines day.
DeleteI chose my flowers and candy and paid for them with his cc. No special food other than brownies and a glass of milk.
ReplyDeleteGood for you!
DeleteStayed home, warm and comfy. I made a black forest cake and we wished each other happy valentines day. Other than that just a normal day around here.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yum!
