Valentine's day

So there was an agreement in place that Valentine's day was to be celebrated with dinner later in the month, so there wasn't a big to do about it. Robert played WoW, Carrie played on her computer and I joined them after church to work on some handsewing. However at about 8:30 I determined that Valentine's day without chocolate was just not happening and a little while later Carrie complained that she wanted chocolate too. We chuckled and confessed that a store run was imminent. Carrie wasn't feeling well so she didn't want to go but she said she wanted, "an assortment." I knew she was talking about a sampler but, in true Robert fashion, we proceeded to buy a little bit of everything, including a large Whitman's sampler, several bags of chocolate and a Firecracker chocolate bar. There were two rather large and soft teddy bears involved too. Giggling maniacally, we returned to the house and dumped tons of chocolate on top of the bed next to Carrie. She giggled too and we had a chocolate orgy (the kind that involves stuffing your face with chocolate until you are almost sick, not the other kind you sickos!) and watched an old John Wayne movie, Hatari!. It was not a western (he did act in other types of movies too). It's a really fun romp of a movie about a group of men who catch African animals for zoos and what happens when women are added to their mix. They could never film it today (animal rights and all- probably no animals were hurt but they weren't treated as well as they would be today) but it's great fun to watch. It will keep you giggling and smiling through out.

Monday...

Last night was nice and quiet. I went over to Robert and Carrie's for dinner. We had Orange cranberry pork loin. It's a wonderful and easy crock-pot recipe. Then Robert and I played Mario Party and watched the Olympics. Quiet evening but very nice and relaxing.
