Valentine’s Day Treat

David and I have decided to do something special together this year for Valentine’s Day, although it won’t happen on the day. Since Valentine’s falls in the middle of the week, I will have to work and won’t get home until around 6-ish. We’ll want to get dinner (probably at our favorite, Firebird’s) and we won’t have time for anything else, so I called today and scheduled us for a couples 60-minute hot-rock massage at Urbana on Sunday. This is by no means cheap (it’ll cost us each a $100 plus tip), but that’s certainly better than a dozen roses that will die. I think it is totally worth it to celebrate and relax. And I know David will enjoy it because his back always hurts… and me, well, I just like a good massage treatment. I’ve never done the hot rock thing so this is totally exciting. And this place has a hot tea and wine bar! You can actually go there and hang out and drink tea/wine… HELLO? Is that awesome or what?! And I believe that we get free complimentary champagne since it is Valentine’s week. This will be the best Valentine’s gift we have ever given each other!

As far as flowers go, I am always telling David I want them but I don’t want him to spend the money on something that ultimately dies so fast (although that doesn’t mean I don’t want them ever). Well, he surprised me before he left for his trip with a potted Calla Lily (my favorite). What can I say, the boy is a romantic when he wants to be. Sometimes he just does the sweetest things, and this was certainly one of them (and one of the smarter ideas too). Love you babe!
