Valentine's Weekend

Yay for Valentine's Day! Considering I was alone this Valentine's Day, it wasn't too bad. Larissa was wonderful enough to send me a package with some chocolate and a Valentine's apron, towel, and some really cool heart-shaped pancake makers. Mom sent some ladybug stuff too. I think I've decided that I'm just going to have to do a red kitchen (like Larissa) with a ladybug theme. I think it will be cute! Anyway, I spent that Friday night with Brinai. We got pizza and drinks and make cheesecake and rented some chick-flick movies, of course. The best part was just being able to talk to her for hours about everything. I love having Brinai as a friend; she is such a help. So I spent the night and did some shopping with her on Saturday. Actual Valentine's Day wasn't that amazing. After Brinai dropped me off I spent time with the roomies. Basically we ate lots of chocolate. Em and me tried to think what people always do when alone on holidays. The only thing I could think of was that the girl's in movies always get Chinese take-out. So that's exactly what we did. Chinese food and Sleepless in Seattle, because it is our tradition to watch that movie on Valentine's. It was a somewhat pathetic night, but at the same time really fun! The point was that I wasn't whollowing in self-pity about Trevor. Oh, and I also gave myself a pedicure and manicure. I did an amazing job, if I say so myself. Just look at that shine!! Em thought it was crazy, how long I took to do them. but they were perfect.

Then comes President's Day! Em and me had so many great plans for Monday's holiday. But the fact that it was a holiday, ruined our holiday. We wanted to go to Gloria's Little Italy, but since it is family owned, they were closed, which we forgot. Then we wanted to see Confessions of a Shopaholic, but the bus only runs a few times a day and when we wanted to go, the bus didn't show, so all our plans went to not. So, we decided to do a Rock Band night. We dressed up as punk rockers and played all night long. See, we can be fun some of the time. So yeah, it was an interesting weekend.

Then yesterday was a girl's in my ward birthday. She is so great and one of our really great friends, so Em and me made her a birthday cake. Her brother was in our FHE group and asked us to help. So we made her a Secret Garden cake. It's an inside joke, but I hand made all those roses on top. Am I amazing or what!!!

Oh and the last picutre is of a ward activity to Soldier's Hollow. Basically it is huge slides made of snow and you just slide a million times. It was so fun!!

Yeah, that's my life right now. I'm trying to make it fun.
