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!!

Sweet Gifts & Stupid Dresses

Recently I sent Reezy from peanut butter & honey my photo booth props which were never used as they arrived after the wedding, for her sister to use at her upcoming wedding. 

Imagine my surprise when I got a parcel in the mail today from Reezy with these gorgeous Thank You presents!! Totally unexpected and unnecessary but so very appreciated!

Look, they match my diary! 

Thanks so much Reezy xx

Today I dragged out my Wheels & Dollbaby dress which I have only worn once before (oh look, here is a blog post I did on it when I first wore it) and forget all about the issue of the buttons popping open on the bust. Well, when there are no safety pins to be had, one has to improvise. 

Enter the Stapler. 

This is such a weird outfit, sometimes I think I get dressed in the dark when I wake up a little and look down at my terrible outfit.

Seem the stapler works a charm. This dress is going in my "I'm never wearing this again" drawer.

Blagh.

I've started doing kick boxing twice a week. It is hard. I used to think the gym classes at the gym like Pump & Attack were hard, no, they are definitely not. 

They are like a walk in a very, very pleasant park compared to this. 

Happy Valentines Day!!
