v day in just testing

Most PB peeps don't know this but for almost every V day me and Will have had a fight basically because I expect ... acknowledgement of this holiday.

What I really like is a hand written card from him - something I can save. But he's not big on writing. Even texts or emails are short. He's just not that way - which is opposite of me who can write for hours.

So it used to always be a fight cause all I wanted was a simple card and he would feel too pressured to write in a card and it would ruin the day.

So... nowadays I ignore V day. I got him a simple gift [a box of cereal he used to like as a child and can't find anymore]. And I planned on waiting up for him and making dinner so we could eat together, romantic.

BUT also I was still mad from yesterday [him going to work in a snow storm]. So when he came home at like 2am on V day he tried to kiss and make up and maybe even 'get some' but I was a total bitch to him. I usually am when he tries to wake me up cause my biggest pet peeve is interrupted sleep but I was an even bigger bitch cause I was mad because he was mean to me earlier in the day and then I spend the rest of the day alone dwelling on it.

When I woke up for work there were notes around the house .They led me to a heart shaped chocolate cake he made.

It was really sweet and much more romance than I've ever gotten on V day so basically all was forgiven.

At work other girls got flowers delivered, etc. and that was fine with me cause I had posted how my husband made me a cake and I was feeling lighter than air.

Then the girls in my job come running towards me [I was away from my desk] and dragged me to my desk where I saw that Will had ordered 2 dozen red roses and a box of chocolates for me.

I was floored - I mean speechless - stunned - cause I've never gotten that from ANYONE. And I've been with Will near 6 years and he's never done that. So I was flabbergahsted.

So I went home and started on dinner for him.

What I ended up making was kind of like a south western cheese corn polenta with sauted arugula on top and then seasoned chicken breast on top of that. I wish I took a pic cause it looked really fancy and tasted great.

Then I went to bed but woke up when he came home.

I didn't feel like eating right after getting up so I fixed him a bowl and I'm glad he liked it.

Then we had an amazing make out session. I can't remember a more arousing time with him. I mean, we're married, we knew it was going to lead to sex but we drew it out and I was so satisfied.

It was a really really good day and night over all.

Now we have his cousin's 2 yr birthday party. We should have left 15 mins ago but you know how Will can't be on time for anything.

I'm dressed and ready.

We're so opposite - but that's my valentine!
