Happy Valentine’s Day!

In terms of Valentine’s Day, what comes to your mind? Your significant other, flowers, jewelry, chocolate, maybe a romantic dinner at home (or out)…? For Mike and I, we’re a little less traditional. I wouldn’t know how to take care of roses, I have enough candy left from Christmas to tide me over, and as much as I like pretty jewelry, I don’t wear it a lot. I work in retail, and a few years ago, I lost a bracelet that was very dear to me. Ever since then, I’ve refused to wear any sort of jewelry other than earrings, and as far as those go, nothing expensive. So what did Mike and I do? We exchanged gifts, but as I said, they’re very non-traditional. I got him the first Naruto: Shippuden set, as he’s been wanting that for some time now. He got me Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for the PSP. It came out last month, and I’ve wanted it ever since I saw it for pre-order. For me, that’s as awesome as any “commercialized” Valentine’s gift. I’m not your “usual” romantic. I don’t need flowers and all that girly stuff to make me happy. Get me a DVD I’ve been wanting or a book or a game and I’m a happy girl.

I’m also very easy-going. Mike wanted to play basketball with the boys today, and he asked me last night if it would be okay. I told him to do whatever he wants. I’m not going to be one of those nagging girlfriends that refuses to let their other half out of the house. I mean, he plays for what, a couple of hours, and then we have the entire evening together. I promised him that I would watch Zombieland tonight. I bought it for him last week, and he absolutely loved it, and has insisted for the last week that I watch it with him. I’m kinda “eh” on zombie movies – some are good, others… not so much. But not one person I’ve talked to has had anything bad to say about this movie… just that it’s hilarious and I need to see it. So I’ll be doing that tonight. In the meantime, who knows. Enjoy your holiday, everyone!
