Valentine's Day Essentials
Happy Valentine's Day, y'all! It's no secret that I love holidays and themed occasions and Valentine's Day is no different. I love Valentine's Day. Of course, you get to be all lovey dovey with your Valentine but there are also lots of sweets involved. Can it get any better? Here are a few of the essentials I look forward to every year on February 14th...
And last, but not least,

Game Day
You might not know this,, but I went to the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. This morning my facebook feed was littered with game day posts singing praise for UNC. Today is the day. The first UNC vs. Dook game of the season.
This day makes me miss North Carolina even more than usual. The energy felt in Chapel Hill on this day is electrifying. I am pretty much alone in my excitement here in Texas. J is of course now a UNC fan and he is learning about the awfulness that is Dook but it's not exactly the same. I desperately need to meet some UNC fans down here. But for now J and I will be watching the game at home because let's be honest... I can't watch this game in public. At least not without fellow UNC fans around me.

Weekend Recap (a day late)
Hey y'all! I hope everyone had a great weekend and a decent Monday... because let's be honest a decent Monday is all you can hope for. We had a pretty decent Monday but our weekend was excellent!
As I mentioned it was J's birthday. Since his parents were going to be in town for the actual day I wanted to do something nice for him before they got here. On Friday I had the brilliant idea of making him breakfast in bed because we don't do that enough. I went all out and made waffles with sprinkles and heart shaped bacon and there were even sparkler candles. Let's not even talk about what a disappointment the candles were, there was no spark! The bigger disappointment was that I totally spilled the whole tray on the way to the bedroom.
(Note to self: remove all liquids before carrying tray)
I ended up serving my hubby coffee soaked waffles, which he claims were better, but I still am not sure if he was just saying that to make me feel better. He spent the morning eating what remained of his breakfast as I cleaned the coffee off the carpet. It wasn't a perfect morning but I think it's the thought that counts and at least I got some pics before I spilled everything. These came in handy so I could show him what it was supposed to look like.
The rest of the weekend went off without a hitch. We enjoyed great meals at Salty Sow and Azul Tequila (our fave Tex-Mex of the moment) and had a great time celebrating with friends on Saturday night. Of course I forgot to take pictures of the rest of the weekend so you will just have to imagine (sorry!).
But I do want to share a picture of Gracie! This was taken last weekend at the park... it's just too darn cute not to share.
Oh... I almost forgot today is Fat Tuesday! Lent officially starts tomorrow. I haven't thought about if I am going to give something up... looks like I have till the end of the day to decide.
Do y'all observe Lent? Do you give something up or set goals for yourself during this time?
