Happy Day After Valentine's Day!

We're not really big Valentine's Day celebraters here.  In fact, I posted last year on my other blog of things that I like better than roses or diamonds (plus I'd rather have it all throughout the year than just on one day!).  We did exchange a couple of small gifts, which was nice, and son even surprised me with a gift he made at school - so sweet!  And I did consume a raspberry mocha from Peet's coffee, which I figured is the sort of drink one should have on Valentine's Day.  :)

I did plan a dinner for the family which was all new recipes that I thought we'd all like.  Unfortunately, my timing didn't go as well as I had hoped (that is nothing unusual for me) and I crammed too many things into one day.  Dinner did happen, but we ended up eating it while watching Toy Story 3 since I had no time or room left to set a nice table!  However, we loved the movie (we've seen it before) and loved the food - yay!

My biggest mishap of the evening?

That would be instant strawberry ice cream (frozen strawberries, sugar, and heavy cream blended and poured in a shallow pan to freeze) spilled all down the freezer and even onto the floor.  We did have about half a pan left!  Of course this happened when I had a million other things to do in a short amount of time - LOL!

Ah, but there are always silver linings! 
 ~ I didn't have to clean up the ice cream that spilled on the floor as the dog licked it all up for me. 
 ~ My freezer is getting the good cleaning it desperately needed. 
 ~ Hubs and I will be consuming far less high-calorie ice cream which will mean less weight gain.  :)

Making me smile today:

My Valentine's gift from hubs - a set of devotionals I was hoping for!

Got any good Valentine's Day stories?  Have a lovely day friends!

Smiling in the sunshine though I know a storm is on its way,
