Long Week or long wait?

Was it a long week or did it just seem long because of the anticipation of Valentine's day? You know me, I love holidays! All of them! Red roses are plentiful and nearly all other items in the shade of red populate store aisles right now....so of course I'm a fan of Valentine's day!

I've made lots of treats in preparation for Valentine's day. We've given about 95% of the treats away as the week progressed. Last night I made cupcakes for Brad to take to his office. I'm a bit obsessed with red velvet. Never ate it while I lived in Phoenix. But red velvet is a Southern tradition here. So in the last 2 years I've been slowly working on some red velvet recipes. Just in the last couple of months I've truly upped my red velvet game. ;)

So I have Brad's gift all fixed up and ready for tomorrow. All week long he's found something "Valentine's" related in his breakfast-on-the-go container I make for him every morning. I got a little creative using napkins and such to disguise the Valentine goodie/note. I didn't want him peaking at things before getting to work!

We plan a quiet evening at home for tomorrow night. We rarely go out to do something too big. We've gone to a restaurant only 1 of the 5 Valentine's we've shared. Our usual is to pick up food, go home, and watch a movie. A movie I get to pick! Which means he has no veto power if I choose something romantic. LOL! All kidding aside, he's rather fair. He doesn't expect me to always watch his "guy-ish" movies without enduring a romantic comedy here and there. For us it's a double feature with pizza and Valentine's day munchies. We'll likely be checking in on the NBA All-Star festivities as well.
