Whale, because I luv you!

Ok, last of the Valentines Pictures. This one was just too cute to not share.

Romantic Valentines day? Fail!

I had this great fantastic idea. I would send an email Valentine to BH every day starting on the 1st. Most of which you saw here. A few you didn't. With little captions. Some of which you saw here. Some you didn't. A little personal note of I love you every day. Some romantic. Some funny. Some meaningful to us.

Truth be told, didn't go over so well. Not that he didn't love his little Valentine surprises every day, he did. He did, but, some needed explanation and overall he didn't really get it. I was way bummed. Oh well. I got him a little teeny tiny gift, more of a joke really, and that he liked the best of all. (he doesn't want me to tell you what it is, sorry)

Tonight I make scallops. Seafood is my traditional Valentines gift to my family. I picked up Shrimp Scampi and Wilson Creek Almond champagne for the boys and a pound of scallops for me and BH. I've been craving scallops of late and thought I'd prepare a romantic little dinner for us. The weekend was a bust. BH worked Saturday and yesterday we made a trek out to the OC to have a birthday dinner with dad. So tonight I'll make the scallops and we'll have some Almond Champagne and light a few candles. Valentines Day can be any day, right?

I will tell you what I got my folks for V-day. I got my mom her favorite macaroon cookies tied with a huge red bow and my dad got a bundle of onions. No really. Dad and I love to garden and whenever I'm able to I pick up something fun for him to grow. He's grown onions before and has been griping about his garden for the last month. I found this huge bundle of Washington onion starters at Wally World. There has to be at least 100 starters in there. I selfishly pulled 10 or so starters out of there and pulled an ailing mint plant from it's perfect for onions pot. Filled it with fresh dirt and the starters. We'll see. The mint by the way has been with me for more years than I can remember. It's never done well here no matter what the season. It is now in a clump in the yard. I'm tempted to pull some starters from it and start again. But then, how expensive is a little minty herb? A couple of bucks at most? I don't use mint much. We'll see. Maybe in it's exposed condition it'll thrive. Or maybe the bunnies would like it. I'll keep you posted.

In the mean time HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!! The year of the. . what was that? Tiger? For reals? You hear on the news today about Tigers little honey's pregnancies? So sad. Happy Valentines Day darlin.. sheesh..

I hope this is a better year for the Tiger. I don't know how it could get any worse.

But that's what happens when you've been a bad bad boy.
