The Best Valentine's Day Ever

On February 14th, Valentine's Day, my boyfriend came and surprised me by bringing dinner... well not really that much a surprise because he had to ask me first if it was allright if he came on thursday night... though I would have never said it wasn't ok.

I gave him a present that I knew he had been looking a long time for it. The White Album by the Beatles. I never really expected to find it, but one day when I was at HMV I saw one copy of it, only one and I thought I can't leave it there. And planned all along to give it to him for valentine's day.

This valentine's day was doubly special because it was actually the first time I had someone to spend it with, before I just regarded it as cheezy commercial holiday, and always felt depressed because I kind of wanted to have someone to celebrate it with. I know this probably makes me sound dumb that in 34 years this way the real first time I had someone to celebrate it with, but no one ever really liked me that much before.

He gave me the cutest teddy bear and two little monkeys hugging, awwwwwwwwwwwww do sweet.

I still find that valentine's day, like every other holiday, is way too commercial. I mean some people expect to be bought this and that or taken out to dinner, I am not like that I just prefer a surprise and not knowing or expecting. And just spending the day with that special someone is good enough, because that is how it should be, in all honesty.

He also out of the blue got me flowers, normally I would say I prefer seeing the flowers in their natural habitat rather than people cutting them and making them die sooner than they should, but it felt really great as, again, no one ever actually got me flowers.

I love you shawn.

Six Blissful Loving Months

On January 25, 2008 marked Shawn and myself's sixth month of blissful love. Awwwww.
We decided to go back to splash wave pool since we both enjoyed it quite a bit the last time. I never get tired of the waves, mind you it isn't like the real ocean but it is quite the good alternative when you can't go to the ocean.

We also went back to Robbie' Italian Restaurant after splash for their really tasty spaghetti and meatballs. Well let's face it practically because we wanted to make ourselves some spaghetti sandwiches. hehehe And this time it was even more perfect than the last time, we got to sit at a table right next to the fireplace, we couldn't asked for a more romantic six months dinner.

I gave Shawn a painting of E.T. poster I had been working on for a while and set it aside, but I really wanted to have it done by six months as it is special and I did. He loved it since he loves E.T. as much as I do, I must say I was pretty proud of it, painting hands isn't the easiest thing for me, but I must say it turned out better than I thought.



Shawn gave me this cute jewelry box and he had it engraved shawn and nancy 6 months, awwwwwwwww. I kind of felt a bit bad at first that I just made the painting and bought him the saw IV dvd he wanted. but I guess making something is very special because I did put all my heart into the painting, not literally though as it would have made for a gross looking painting. hehehe.

The next morning I treated MY Shawn to Cora's for breakfast since he treated me to Robbie's the previous night. have been spoiled with the Cora experience.I don't know if I could really enjoy breakfast somewhere else now that I probably could but something would be missing and that would be the fruit cocktail. Oh so good fresh fruit cocktail. And what we recently found out was that they give unlimited toats and don't charge for it if you want more, sweet. Although after two I was pretty full, perhaps because my toast were multigrain, hehehe hippie food. multigrain bread perhaps fills me up a lot more than white bread I don't know.

The BEST date ever

On November 24th, MY boyfriend had the best idea he could have ever had... go to splash wave pool.

As I love water so much and had never been to splash wave pool but I believe I will definitely be going back, it is way too much fun.

Shawn actually got me to try the slide, was a bit scared, I am not used to slides as I don't particular like the idea that my head could go in the water, but I wanted to try it, especially since everyone said that if you don't want your head in the water just make sure you stand up as soon as you get to the water. I did except the weirdest thing happen, I kind of got hurt a bit, ribs I think, maybe I was too scared and I probably arrived too quick and . I didn't go back after because of fear, perhaps I will try it again someday and try and relax more, the first time I suppose everyone is a little more scared, I will see.

But the wave pool I could spend countless hours in there for sure, and it was pretty hard to get me out of the pool, we stayed until the last possible time, until closing time.

We came back and made a delicious pizza, Onion Olive pizza, well I improvise and put chicken on it, makes it even better.

And on sunday I went to a cinema that never knew existed, rainbow cinema at st-laurent center, had no idea there was a movie theatre there, and the movies are only $3.00 sweet deal, only thing is the new arrivals play there much later than in other theatres but sometiems it is worth the wait. I saw Underdog, it was quite good and funny too.

Well that is about it for now, later

Colonnade Pizza, Bee Movie and Dinosaurs

On the weekend of November 16 2007, Spent some time with Shawn again and quite enjoyed.

On the Friday we decided to go to colonnade pizza, he treated me, awwwwwwwww. We got a pizza half pepperoni and cheese, his favourite and half veggie. It was really good, can't believe this little place is so close to where I live and had never been there before. Shawn got a carrot cake to go and we shared it the next day.

Than on saturday it was my turn to treat, because I wanted to and also got him to try some different food, I found this recipe to make spaghetti squash and we made it together. It turned out to be good. Than we went to see Bee Movie.

This movie is simply amazing, I love it. Even more now that I found out Jerry seinfeld actually wrote the script rather than what I originally thought that he was just the voice of the "main bee" named Barry. True it is a cartoon but it is a cartoon for grown ups too, althoug I would see any type of animation. It had a lot of adult type jokes that kids might not grasp. Chris rock was also in it as the mosquito, He might not have had a big part but he will be remembered I am sure. So funny.

But after seeing it it was definitely a Jery seinfeld product. I think he has a future in this he is just as good as writing for a sitcom. I would definitely encourage anyone to see it.

When we came back to my place the funniest thing happened, well not that funny, we spotted my cat staring into my christmas village as if there was something, and ... there was. A Bee was there, I have no clue how it got there, or perhaps we brought back jerry (or barry the bee) with us after seeing the movie... hehehe Funny coincidence that we see Bee movie and a bee turns up at my place, still puzzled how it could have gotten in my apartment though.

On sunday I spent time at his place and we watched Hoodwinked aother movie I really wanted to see and never had. I loved the animation. We aslo saw Jurassic park, can't believe how many movies I haven't seen, I actually loved it.

And on monday night I also got to see shawn again, he told me on msn that he had been feeling sick and I couldn't just sit in front of the computer while he was at home sick and I decided to go visit him still, just because, I stopped at a convenience store/gas station to put gas in my car and brough a little chocolate for him and got one for me as well. We watched King Kong, I actually loved that movie, I don't know I always thought it might not be so great, but it was really well made, he said I made him feel better just by coing over t see him. awwwwwwww

Well, that is about it for now
