Life Listing on Valentine's Day


I love holidays and I love my life list so I decided to combine the two and today I chose 2 life list items to complete, along with that I saw my foreigners and indulged in all things heart shaped. Our day was packed with all of my favorite things...

This was a bonus-the blue cross building in Detroit we saw it when we went to Sesame Street Live last week- I'm a sucker for stuff like this!!!


I made this lovey dovey breakfast for my daughter and myself.


Before we headed out for the day my husband surprised me with these beautiful flowers.



The first stop was a LIFE LIST item we went to Starbucks and bought the coffee for the person in line behind us in the drive through.


We had to make a little stop by the mall to get Joel's gift certificate (I know...how romantic am I...I just wanted to get him something he would use and appreciate-me, I appreciate the flowers and frilly stuff-I don't think men really do) while my husband was getting his gift I took Z on the carousel.


Then we got his hair cut, this is somewhat new for us because for years he's been shaving his head.



Afterwards we had a lovely lunch with my Russian (the sweet girl I recently met that just moved here from Russia)


Then we went to my Flamenco dance instructor's house to pick up my very first Flamenco dress!
It's been on my life list for years and thought I wouldn't be able to afford one of my very own for a looonggg time!

From there we went to the Brazilians house, they wanted to stop by our house but I knew be in their area, the girls got to play together for about 2 hours while Joel played soccer with their son and my friend Pricila was cracking me up with her Brazilianisms.


It was a big day and we came home and I made spaghetti with heart shaped meatballs.

I am a big fan of shaping meat!
It was the best Valentine's Day I've ever had, it was filled with lots of things I love, laughter and new experiences!

This was more difficult than I thought it would be.

Valentine's Day 2012


I asked my sister what she was doing for Valentine's Day...she replied "Same thing I do every year, except some years I get lucky and have dinner with my parents." --Hilarious.

Today Z and I had a lady date with my sister Helena downtown, since my husband was away on business, it was a very nice afternoon and then we were surprised at home with two deliveries (I LOVE DELIVERIES!) -heart shaped pizza and flowers from my husband! I loved that the flowers were NOT red, and that they were not just roses and they were delivered with a vase but I got to arrange them, not a big deal but it's nice to be able to put something together on Valentine's Day.

Sweet Quotes for Valentine's Day


If you need any ideas for your Valentines cards.....except for the last one...I wouldn't put that in a Valentine's card-unless you want to end the relationship.

      "For it was not into my ear you whispered but into my heart, it was not my lips you kissed but my soul."

                                   "A hundred hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you"

                       "When your in love you can't sleep because reality is better than your dreams."

                                                    "All I know is that I am lost without you."

                             "You may hold my hand for a while, but you hold my heart forever."

                                     "Love one another and you will be happy. It's as simple and as difficult as that."

                                                    "Love is an act of endless forgiveness."

                                                        "Loving you was my favorite mistake."

          "If I had to chose between loving you and breathing, I would use my last breath to say I love you."

"If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand."

        "I don't understand why cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think of romance, the  last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon."

                             "Where there's smoke there's fire, where there's you, there's desire."

                    "It hurts to breathe because every breath I take proves I can't live without you."

                      "A life with love will have some thorns but a life without love will have no roses."

                        "Whenever you feel a warm breeze brush against you, that's the kiss I blew you."

                              "We are the perfect couple, we're just not in the perfect situation."

                       "If a kiss could say just how I love you-my lips would be on yours forever."

"A kiss is just a kiss til you find the one you love. A hug is just a hug til you find the one you're always thinkin of. A dream is just a dream til it comes true. Love was just a word til I heard it from you."

                                      "Kissing you is like chocolate cake...I can never get enough."

                                        "Never let a fool kiss you, and never let a kiss fool you."

                                            "I wasn't kissing her, I was whispering in her mouth."
