So it was V-Day yesterday. The day of lurrrrve.
We had a pretty quiet one. It’s a bit sad, we’ve been together for 3 years and 9 months and when it comes to these events we’re already getting to the stage where the conversation goes something like this: “So, what d’ya want for Valentine’s Day?” “Dunno, what d’you want?” “Dunno”. And its not just V-Day which gets this treatment. Anniversaries and Christmas are already fast going this way.
I bought Mr Vexation a frame and printed a photo of the two of us, because he was complaining he doesn’t have any pics of us up in his house. He bought me X-Lotto tickets and booked a hot air balloon ride for the weekend after my graduation (I paid for it last year, as a voucher for our anniversary). We still have to book accommodation for the night before because we have to be at the launch site for the balloon an hour before sunrise. Which is some obscene time like 5:30am. Given the time it takes to get from home to the launch site, I calculate that to get there on time, I would have to roll out of bed at about 3:30am – and in that case, why even bother going to bed at all!?
We took a trip down to Semaphore and went for a swim. Well, kinda. It was more splashing and kidding around in water that barely got above our waists, thanks to low tide. You know, and taking advantage of the buoyancy (is that spelled anywhere near right?) to pretend that he was ‘rescuing’ me <Insert joke about my weight here – lol> and other silly behaviour. Then we drove down to Largs Bay and had fish and chips for dinner. After that, we made our way back home and watched last week’s Desperate Housewives that we hadn’t watched yet, and the final two episodes of Rome.
We didn’t win X-Lotto; the machine that printed the tickets was obviously malfunctioning. Perhaps we should try and get a refund?
I hope everybody had a great V-Day, whether in a relationship and celebrating, out of a relationship and having anti-V-Day gatherings with other singletons, or even if you treat it as just another day.
I also thought it was timely for another La Spaghetti update:
La Spag, 12-Feb-09
Not a lot has changed. We have the semblance of a mouth and chin, and beginning to work up to the other eye (which is on the other page of the pattern, so you can’t see it – do not adjust your monitor)
