book it.

Did anyone else have the reading campaign "Book It"? You had to read so many books to get a sticker and so many stickers got you a pizza at Pizza Hut. I faked it. I remember reading my mom's Southern Living, but those other goofy books weren't for me. Ha. You couldn't have paid me enough to read those Laura Ingalls Wilder books!

Anyways.

I LOVE the Kindle. Love. It.

We have actually been through three kindles. Can't get enough of the little thing! PK (pre kindle) my lovely husband had books under every piece of furniture and in all the drawers. He is the type of reader who has numerous books going at once. It wasn't pretty. He had 'stories' going on in the bathroom, living room, kitchen, office, lots of stories in the bedroom and even in the CAR! I, on the other hand, like books shaped as magazines. :)

So this post is for him, my loving, book reading husband. (And Jamie Meares.)

The images above are from Pinterest. I absolutely love that site!

And...I kind of think I might sort of want some bangs. Katie's are pretty cute. Don't ya think?

spicing things up.

The hubs and I have a history of keeping things ultra simple. This v day was no different. We grabbed a bottle o wine, a six pack of abita and headed outside to grill up some big juicy steaks. Don't be confused by the lack of gifts. We do love each other and appreciate Vday. We'd just rather spend our money on savings, the house or a trip. :)

Nothing says "I love you" like steak and wine. :)

My all time favorite vday was a few years ago.

We were in the middle of remodeling our kitchen. Our house was a mess, we were beat and hadn't done a single thing for each other, when we decided to scrub the paint off our faces and head to the movies. On the way to the theater we stopped by Target where we picked out a few Valentine's Day cards, exchanged them in the corner of the store, then returned them to the rack*, and went to separate movies at the theater! ha! I'm not sure which is worse, the whole exchanging of the cards, but not buying them or going to separate movies because we were too exhausted to compromise.
