Valentines Day

Well, Happy Valentines Day!

I know that some people think that Valentines day is stupid, and that it’s just an event created by Hallmark and the Florists of the world to have people spend more money in a bid to show their loved ones that they are indeed, their loved ones.

I love it though. The Husband is the type to randomly bring me home flowers and presents so its not like it’s the only day of the year that this happens for me, but I still love it.

I love seeing all the loved up couples in the city, the giddy school girls carrying home roses and presents from their young loves…

Every year since The Husband and I have been together, I have received a dozen long stemmed red roses on Valentines Day from him but when it got to 2pm and nothing had arrived I started to think that now since we are married, the flowers will stop coming.

Shortly after the thought flickered across my mind, the elevator went Ding and the florist walked out with roses, which obviously I was hoping were for me. Luckily, they were!! 

It is completely inconvenient to carry flowers on the tram though so The Husband had to stop by on his way home and collect them from me. 

I must admit, my favourite part of receiving any gift is actually the card that goes alone with it. I never throw out my cards! 

To get in the spirit of Valentines Day I painted my nails with OPI Strawberry Margarita and OPI Teenage Dream on the pinky nails. Perhaps I should have painted them red, but oh well.

I took this photo whilst on the tram, drenched in sunlight, and my iPhone was not on silent so the camera shutter sounded when I took the photo and the girl next to me just looked at me. I hate it when it is not on silent!! Always feel like someone will think I am taking up skirt pics!

I ventured away from my standard gift of nothing or underwear (which is the perfect present to get a guy since they never seem to want to update their own lousy collection despite the prompts from the elastic giving away..) and went to JB HiFi and got him Season 2 of Sons of Anarchy and a Mötley Crüe DVD. We started watching Season 1 of Sons of Anarchy on the weekend and finished it in no time at all so Season 2 was screaming my name.

Has anyone else become obsessed with Sons of Anarchy? Please, no spoilers as I am only up to Season 2!!

2011 Valentines Day Blog Post

Hump Day.

This weather is perfect for capes. Preferably the cute kind, not the flowing in the wind, fighting crime, superhero type.

I haven’t worn my cape for a while, but my sister Jo wore it on the wedding day and as I still have not properly unpacked from the wedding day, it was hanging around the house and screaming to be worn.

Anyway, as I was saying – this weather is perfect for capes. It’s not quite cold enough in the morning to wear a trench or winter coat, but it’s also not balmy enough to just wear a dress. This cape is the perfect solution.

I got it from Sunny Girl a few years back, and I think it was around the $30 mark. Believe me, this little baby has earned its keep.

I’m wearing it with the yellow Angey dress that I got in Thailand, which is honestly one of my favourite items in my wardrobe. Great excuse to go back to Thailand.

One of my readers recognised me in Tiffany & Co on Saturday – I hope you come up to me next time to say hello! The Husband (haha can’t resist) doesn’t quite believe me that people actually read my blog. I show the page view count, and he still doesn’t quite think it is possible. It would have proved him wrong!
Moral of the story? If you see me out and about, please come over and say hi. Unless you are a murderer, then please refrain.
I’ve been writing our Thank You cards and have discovered that they don’t fit in the envelopes I purchased since they are ginormous. Massive. Gah.
I might cut some down to size at work on the guillotine tonight after hours, or just try and find behemoth sized envelopes.

I try and write something personal in each card, I don’t like writing the same message in each card as these people went to a lot of effort to attend our wedding – and we want them to know that we appreciate it!!
