Okay, prepare to be nauseous everyone... VDay weekend was just a bit too perfect. H and I slept in Saturday morning. I was typing at the computer when H came in with roses and my valentine's day card. We exchanged cards and gifts then went to breakfast at one of our favorite diners down at the river quay.
After that we got our hiking boots and headed off for a hike at Monkey Mountain. We were late, so we had to double-time to catch up with the rest of the group. The terrain was horrible: ice, slush, mud. H ran around taking pictures of the group, which was pretty beat by the time we reached the "summit." It's funny that the trail leading to the summit winds all around what barely qualifies as a mountain, but when we got to the top, we walked less than a mile straight back to our cars. The day was mild and sunny, so it was nice to get out and exert ourselves.
After that we went home and got dressed for dinner. H and I had a gift certificate for a restaurant from Christmas. Dinner was excellent. We talked about the hike and about our honeymoon in Jamaica. At the time we had thought it was pretty awful, but we were remembering all of the cool things about it.
Afterwards we went to see the Butterfly Effect, which we really enjoyed. This really caught H's imagination; and we talked about the implications of string theory (which I still don't understand, but he does) and chaos theory.
It was a great day and my pessimist H even said so.
We watched SNL until bedtime. As I was crawling into bed, H came in with a folder. He gave it to me and said, "Look at this." It was a pretty folder, so I actually looked at it for a moment before opening it to find a certificate for a star. He bought me a star for us to look at through the telescope. That is about the sweetest thing on earth. I was really touched. I almost cried that night, because I was so happy and then he topped it all off with that. He said he wanted me to know that I am special.
That's good, because I haven't been feeling too special lately. I think I'm having MLC type thoughts lately. Oh well. Hope y'all had a good weekend, and do have a good week.
Oh, almost forgot... H and I found chairs we both like yesterday... made my whole day. Ciao!
