Happy Valentine's Day!



So...I have lots of reasons to celebrate this otherwise depressing holiday. First, I hit my 60 lb mark today...so I have lost 61.6 lbs!! I was nearly crying today at WW! I did a happy dance and yelled WHOO HOO! So...celebration time for me! Next, I get home from WW (I go to a 7:30am Saturday meeting) and my husband has made me a WW breakfast, Omelet Provencal with toast...and some black tea with splenda! There is a basket on the table for me...with a box of Dark Chocolate Cellos (chocolate covered cherries), two pairs of socks and a card. I was SOOO happy. He had said he wasn't getting me the chocolate because I didn't need it. He took half of it to hide for another week and said I could only have half a box now. I had one. Turns out they are ONE point per candy and a serving size is 3 for 3 points...what luck. The socks are awesome! I am a sock nut. I love brightly colored socks and if they are warm and fuzzy, even better! And...the card. He is so sweet! For years he has created fake conversation hearts online and sent them to me for VALENTINE'S DAY! I love it. The one year he didn't do it I was so pissed. Anyway, this year he found a Hallmark card with conversations hearts on it AND sent me a made conversation heart. I love him! I left for work...and he had asked me a month ago...eating out, or him cooking...I selected him cooking and asked for lamb! I came home today from work with the most incredible Valentine's Day dinner ever! He made roast potatoes in the oven with rosemary and salt...asparagus wrapped with prosciutto ham and lamb chops (tiny, two of them) with rosemary and garlic...we had a wedge salad...Boston Bib with bleu cheese and tomatoes and bacon bits with a vinaigrette (since creamy is so calorie high) and then a bottle of Lemberger red wine from Townsend, my fave local winery! It was incredible. He set the table with a table cloth, a vase full of red tulips...and had some classical music playing. Ah, I am spoiled beyond words! He told me that I need to keep him in check about his cooking though...so he doesn't get too full of himself! I love him..and February marks 10 years that we have dated and known each other (married for 7 in July). Embrace the ones you love...and for those of you who haven't found it. PLEASE DO NOT SETTLE FOR LESS!! He is out there and he is worth the wait! Happy Valentine's Day!
