...it just looks like it belongs on my bed there, dontyathink?
To be honest though, the Boyfriend and I really aren't that big into this "holiday" so I don't really know why I got all dressed up for the occasion sporting light pink and hearts but oh well. I guess I can re-use the tights on Halloween and tell everybody that they're little black bats? No presents were involved but with it landing on a Sunday this year, we were able to hang out together as if it were any other one (which it is, technically to us anti-valentines) - with the exception that I had to be taken to the airport for my 4AM flight out the same night. Time is always valuable though and should be well-spent regardless, especially with your loved ones, no? So we had more than enough hours to do dinner at Joey's, meet up with another couple to double date the rest of the night, and drive all the way down to Nectar without even thinking about making reservations... at a dessert house... on Valentine's Day. Oops! Who's genius idea was that? =/ It was totally mine. Obviously, they had no room for the four of us last minute lovers, so as when all else fails, just call it a movie night... The Book of Eli managed to allot itself perfectly and end in time for me to sneak in 3hrs of sleep beside my sweetheart, then it was off to be dropped off at Domestic Departures. Hope you all enjoyed yours too, whether planned or impromptu like ours. ♥
Sometimes all you need to get yourself through the week is a little bit of laughter... and then there are other times when you should really just sit down and get serious; I am especially thankful that I have him for when both of those are necessary. Had a really good conversation tonight, and feel a million times better now!
As some of you may know, my boyfriend and I celebrated our 4yrs together recently and we did something a little different this year. It's true that after each year that passes, celebrations like this require a little bit more thought and to be honest, I really didn't think anything could top last years anniversary. But I was wrong, and we continue to amaze me every day. Exactly one month ago from today, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful country that we live in and witnessed in all it's glory, the breathtaking sights found only about an hour away from us.
New year, new gear. A little late to make it's debut on here, but the Boyfriend got me a dope Christmas present that ya'll will appreciate: a refurbished Polaroid camera! Just when the world had started to lose hope in instant photography and right as Poladroid-ing was actually starting to become a verb in my vocabulary – he comes and assures me that all is not lost by gifting me with my very own old-school, legit Spectra 1200 FF. But what good is the camera, without the appropriate film, right? We all witnessed the near-extinction of its production entirely, but thankfully now it's just limited, but expensive, which as we all know come hand in hand. Basic economics. I have a total of 50 shots and have thus far only used three. Obviously, I'm being very picky with who/what gets one: "Hey, take one of my huge red zit!" Gross, Lil Bro. Expect to see more exclusive and meaningful shots from my new toy in the near future.
