A Birthday Weekend

Jumper boy's birthday is on Valentine's Day. Yippee. Which of course means that I get presents on his birthday :) I like that deal! In all fairness, I did petition to him that I felt like we should do V-day the day before so that on his birthday we could just do a birthday celebration and not worry about doilies and chocolate. Although I may SAY that I want to ignore V-day completely and ONLY celebrate his birthday, let's be honest, I'd have been a little sad if he didn't do ANYTHING for me all nice-and-sweet. But we did a little V-day gift exchange the night before... I got him a much-needed gym bag (not because I'm forcing him to hit the gym, but because he didn't have one). I also put little goodies in it with cute little notes that said things like "nothing says 'love' like 'fix that smell' (because i put the note on little things you put in your shoes to keep them from smelling up the place).


He gave me an ever-so-sweet-because-we-both-wanted-it-Cuisinart-Food Processor. :) I do love it... it chopped a whole onion in seconds. It shredded a block of cheese in an instant. It whipped up potatoes so fast they turned starchy! Really, the thing is brilliant. What got him into trouble was when he foolishly said, "nothing says 'love' like 'cook me some birthday dinner'. Ya... well... whatcha gonna do. He was kidding.

Now, for HIS birthday, we hung out, we went to a movie that was PACKED!!, it got out late and we started cooking dinner late. The grocery store didn't have my ingredients, Then they didn't have the meat... boo. It sorta all fell apart. Good news is, the next day, I cooked the meat I planned and the day after that, I cooked the soup. It all turned out, just not when I wanted it to. But we had a great weekend...
