hello vday, goodbye vday

yesterday morning there was this HUGE bouquet of flowers at our reception desk. i asked our receptionist if it was for me (knowing damn well it wasn't but i can hope can't i) and true enough it wasn't, it was for one of our first-year associates. how cute, young love. i remember when i used to get bouquets and cookies and chocolates... but now, i am my own cupid. if i want it, i buy it for myself. it's so romantic.

OKOKKOOKOK so i told vic we weren't allowed to buy each other valentine's day gifts (i already have 5 smooching singing & dancing plush gorillas, i don't need anymore.) and maybe i said something to him about how flowers really were a horrible waste of money, please don't send me any more flowers, i can't eat flowers, etc. but still. a cookie bouquet isn't technically a flower bouquet, right? ok, so maybe i told vic a month ago i swore off cookies by design b/c they contain trans fat and if i'm going to get trans fat from something, it's going to be from a double-decker chocolate cake. ok so maybe i don't have anything to complain about since i dug my own damn vday grave.

but i did not dig myself a vday dinner grave! vday evening was very nice as we had a nice romanicky dinner at roy's. :) they had a special 4-course prie fixe menu but vic and i had 5 courses b/c of course, we ordered an extra dessert. they can't have 3 dessert options and expect us (me) to only pick 2!!! i took pictures of the first course (appetizers) and the second course (soup/salad), but got so distracted by our third course (main entree) and fourth course (dessert), i totally forgot to take pictures and those were the ones that were the most impressive-looking. clearly i would not make it as a photo journalist -- i often remember to take pictures of things long after they've come and gone.

i did however get a good picture of mochi helping vic pick out condos/townhomes for us to look at:

"dad! this one looks good! the master walk-in looks like it has a good chance of holding at least 1/2 of mom's wardrobe!" ha ha ha. mochi you are too funny.
