happy valentine's day

happy valentine's day!
a silly holiday, yes, but still a good time to tell the people we love that we love them.
i love you, friends!

this morning i woke up at 8am and made barry pancakes (from ginger's secret recipe, of course). there were plain ones and banana & peanut butter ones. since i'm on the "i don't want to look like a big white whale in my wedding dress" diet i skipped the pancakes and opted for fruit and coffee. oh yes, and pancake tuesday is this tuesday! barry's family is coming over for "american style" pancakes. (thicker instead of crepe-like.)

yesterday i tortured barry by making him get the special valentine's day movie rental package at x-tra vision. 3 love movies, a pint of hagen daas and a galaxy chocolate bar all for 13.49! i picked the movies and then ran away and made him go the counter... that wouldn't be as bad as making him buy feminine products, right? anyway, i thought it was funny. so last night, we watched the first one. it was called "i hate valentine's day" with nia vardalos and john corbett. now you might say, geez deidre, it seems like all you've been doing lately is watching movies, to which i would reply, "yes, you're right." (p.s. gin, i did see inglorious bastards which was so, so good.) anyway, it was actually quite cute. i'm a sucker for nia vardalos movies. if you haven't seen the one where's she's a tour guide in greece, get it. it's adorable. anyway, we've got two movies left for later.

now we are off for a walk in the wicklow mountains, then out for a cup of coffee, and probably to marks & spencer to pick up something delicious for dinner... this way, we won't have to cook and the only think cookin' will be our love. haha, ewww that made me gag a little. sorry. v-day is gaggy but i still love you all.
