Most of the people at work knew the significance of the day, but I did not see a single bouquet of flowers, gift of candy or romantic card anywhere. Also, there were no mad dashes to the Hallmark store, or last minute calls to the florist to buy a dozen long stem reds... It was just another day at the office. I guess it must be strictly an American holiday?
I noticed that traffic was heavy on the way home tonight though. Perhaps it was the rush of romantic Belgians hurrying home to have a candle lit dinner with their loved one? In reality, it was probably just a big soccer match on TV...
Anyways, since Jo was halfway around the world tonight, I figured Nadaly would be a good stand-in for my dinner date tonight. We pulled out a frozen Wagner Pizza Speciale, threw it in the oven at 230C for 12 minutes, and popped open a cold Maes lager... Yum Yum!
Not sure what we would have done if we were back home in CA tonight. Probably a nice dinner out with the girls somewhere, or possibly grandma and grandpa would have watched them so that that we could go to a favorite restaurant.
We'll make up for it when she gets here next month.
Happy Valentine's Day Jo!

Hi Sweetheart! I'm envious that Nadaly is sitting next to you and not me! Valentine's Day is non-existent without you here w/me... I love you. Happy Valentine's Day! So, what number beer are you on now?? : )
Hey, how about next Valentine's Day is Paris?!
