I had a doctor's appointment for blood exams (talk about red) at 9am and thus, on a very rare, if not the first time, I was with her in the car when she took off for office and for me to be dropped off to my appointment. Even our plans for the night was still intentionally how we spend regular nights: a simple dinner, a bottle of red wine, a date DVD ("Red Eye" - since it's a red letter day, hahaha) and our nightly prayers to cap it off. :) Are you waiting for what we did after we said our night prayers??? :) ********* Here's a trivia: • 70% of those who celebrate Valentine's Day give a card; (Am part of the 70%) • 49% call their sweethearts; (She left her phone at home, but she called me up) • 48% give a gift; (hmmmm...) • 37% cook a special dinner; (She made me one..and last night's dinner as well!) • 33% give candy; (nope, gummy bears pwede pa) • 30% go out to dinner; and (nope, we stayed in) • 19% give flowers.
