Hot Cocoa Swap
I mailed out my package for the hot cocoa swap on Tuesday. I'm told it should arrive in 7 business days but they're often earlier than they say they'll be. On the flip side, my spoiler apparently mailed my package out on Tuesday as well. That's cool, and now I have something fun to wait for in the mail. I love getting mail, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I hope my spoilee likes her package! This is my first swap and I really want it to go over well.
Birthday
My birthday is on Valentine's day. Some people think I'm lucky because I get "double" spoiled on my birthday, but really, I think I'm missing out on something. Every year, we celebrate my birthday and Valentine's day doesn't get much of any reaction at all from me. So this year, as per my suggestion, we're going to have a Valentine's dinner with the just the two of us on my birthday. I bought a bottle of wine and I'm going to make a nice dinner. Chris is buying pie for dessert and I bought him a gift for Valentine's day which is something I've never done for anyone ever before.
I guess it's because it's always been my day and I think I held some resentment for this day of love. I often get neglected by my loved ones because they're off doing romantic things and no one has the time to come over and celebrate with me. We're hoping for a gathering on Saturday to do my birthday stuff and we'll see how celebrating Valentine's day goes. It's a unique experience for me, and a rare one for him. I'm nervous *lol*
I may have other news soon but that will have to wait until after saturday. Ha ha ha! You're left to wonder!
(I promise the next post will have pictures!)
