I love my birthday. I really do. I love that it is the day before Valentine's Day. It's like an overload of love. And who doesn't love to be loved?
I started off by buying my own flowers. I figured I'd go ahead and relieve Spencer of that duty. We had a fun night at a friend's Valentine themed couples dinner party. We went to the beach for about 20 minutes before it started raining on us. We ate at Macaroni Grill. Chicken Scallopine is the best! And the free cake was a definite plus.
Valentine's Day was a funny story to me. I had a feeling Spencer got me something even though he said he didn't. And I'm always feeling in the giving mood on Valentine's Day after receiving so much for my birthday. So I went ahead and ordered him some shoes he's been wanting for a while (thank you Groupon for your awesome amazon deal!).
Spencer wanted to be creative or something and come up with a song to give me a clue as to where my gift was. This was not a pre-written song. He just came up with it. Only problem was that it was not helpful at all. He finally told me it was in the front entrance closet. I went, and what was sitting there? A griddle. Yes, a griddle. I started laughing out loud and got on to him because that was NOT a Valentine's gift. In fact, I told him that household items like that should NEVER be personal gifts. It was pretty funny. Then he opened the front door to the house, and there was a little pink bag hanging on the doorknob. I saw pink and instantly thought "oooh, VS! how sexy! he pulled off a nice surprise!" But no, it was not from him. It was a present from my visiting teacher/friend. So at the end of the day, I got a griddle. I must say the gift was a bit out of character for him. Usually he is very romantic and thoughtful. And don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the griddle. We needed one. But I made sure he knew that griddles are something you buy on any regular day. Not on lover's day.
We do have video of him singing Happy Birthday to me, but I will spare him the embarrassment. Actually, I looked pretty gross too, so it's to spare me as well.

Tell Spencer he did better than Boz, who got me nothing, not even a card! :) I got better gifts last year when they were deployed. I think maybe I should send him back out to sea! Ha ha!
He did better than Wayne too! lol Wayne isn't a gift kind of person, he shows his love in other ways. Glad you had a great weekend of love. Can't wait for may! Could it get here quicker so I can see you two?! xoxo
at least it was a griddle and not an iron. happy birthday!
This post made me laugh!! I could just totally imagine both of you. Especially Spencer singing the unhelpul hint song. Well, enjoy the griddle anyhow. Still sending lots of love your way!
