In my mind, I had a lot of plans to do exciting things before this child arrives, but I seriously underestimated the whole pregnancy part of this equation (and the influence of mosquitos). And yet, this weekend was awesome anyway. My favorite place in the world is my bedroom so why not spend all the special holidays there?
I really like having Valentine's Day fall on a Sunday. Especially a Sunday with 1:00 church because it means I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to make a festive breakfast. Finally!
After breakfast we turned on Music and the Spoken Word, which I expected to be Valentine's themed, but they were apparently very eager to sing about President's Day instead. Not quite what I had in mind. Also, they had that bell choir thing on there as well, which is never what I have in mind. I really want to know whose idea it was to start the bell choir? And also how this has affected the ratings? It can't be good!
After that Scott couldn't help but sing a parody version of "I Heard the Bells on 'Valentine's' Day," which is now stuck in my head forever. Once again, I vote to impeach the bell choir.
During Scott's meetings I baked treats for the backlog of neighbors we need to thank/meet. I finally found a chocolate chip cookie recipe that doesn't get too flat/greasy, so that was a Valentine's miracle. Why I ever go anywhere but Mel's Kitchen Cafe for any recipe is really a mystery.
The rest of the day was spent at church, attempting to not get hypnotized by the primary songs I play over and over again. I swear I am in another realm sometimes while I play those things. Then we came home and had some ribeyes and ice cream from an actual grocery store. I never buy ice cream, so this was a pretty special Valentine's Day if you ask me.
