Valentine's Day!

My day started at 930-ish, when I woke up I had a picture message from him "Happy Valentine's Day" as I dragged myself out of bed I realized I had to wait at least 10 hours before I would get to see him. So I thought of what I could do in the meanwhile. I went downstairs and made some pancakes, with the help of some cookie cutters I ate some star and heart shape pancakes with a glass of 2% Leche! :)

Then I went ahead and worked on my usual chores. When I was getting ready to go for my run he sent me a text  "whatcha doin?" I informed him that I was getting ready for my run and asked him what was up with him. He said "check the front door" and so I did and there it was, a Box! I picked it up and placed it on the kitchen island, as i opened it up I wonder what type of flowers they would be. (The box gave it away that it contained flores) so I was 100% sure it would be roses but as I opened the box I saw how wrong I was. He sent me Lilies!  I picked up the phone to thank him as I removed the Lilies and vase from the box. I read the note out loud to him and we both laughed. 

I continued with my day, my run only lasted 20 some minutes due to the cold weather... dear winter, go AWAY!  When I returned I watched another episode of my new "favorite" show, White Collar then realized it was a little past 4pm then he sent me a text "Reservation in less than 4 horas!" I like his texts; todays were extra special :)

I got ready for my date with my dearest novio and I have to mention how much I like it when he rings the doorbell versus sending a text or calling letting me know that he is outside my casa. As we got into his new coche (a pretty BMW) and drive off I asked him where we were going (something I have been asking him since yesterday) but he did not say. Minutes later, we arrived at Trattoria Pomigliano, a restaurant downtown Libertyville! :)

At the restaurant we exchanged lovey dovey looks and cards; he always gets me funny cards! The card he got me was especial! :) Dinner was delicious! Bruce had the Spinach Ravioli while I went for the Lasagna, good choices. For dessert our waitress brought out a tray of yummy looking desserts; sorbets, ice cream, tiramisu, brownie. When I saw the tray of desserts I thought we were in trouble because I knew Bruce would not eat much more and I only left a little bit of room for dessert. I am so glad the waitress explained the tray!! Bruce ended up having a super-RICH brownie while I had a Bombi: white and chocolate gelato with a "hidden" cherry in a chocolate shell. I was sad when they brought it out cut in half... I could totally see where the Cherry was :(

We managed to eat our desserts and headed out. When I got home I gave Bruce a ceramic monkey I painted for him and he named it Rodrigo! Rodrigo will sit next to his chubby hula dancer on his desk at work. 

I had a wonderful Dia de San Valentin with my Bruce. I am so proud of him; he managed to handle work, go to the gym, drive up here and made my evening. Thank you sweetie! 


Happy Valentine's Day Boo!
