Happy Belated Hearts Day

As usual, it's been a while since I've posted. Not for lack of ideas, but for lack of time to proofread and post. Today I realized I have 4 posts "in the can", but the journalist in me needs to decide whether they're "timely" enough to post. One post, which I think is a really good one, is about Halloween, so maybe I can hold on to it for this October. Time will tell what happens to that or the others.

But I digress. I really wanted to tell you about my Valentine's Day. I really wasn't feeling it this year and I'm not exactly sure why. But once Johnny told me I had options for our night out , I got excited for several reasons: he took the time to come up with options, they were creative/not our usual go-to date ideas, and they were easy, laid-back, simple fun.

We went to Maryland Live! Casino. It's fairly new and not too far away, so I thought it was a great idea for us to take this opportunity to check it out. We ate at one of their restaurants (not really a restaurant - you order your food, they give you a umber, eventually bring it to your table, then you eat - end of service). We lost $20 each at the 25-cent slots (although I'm sure someone came behind me and hit BIG on my machine). We stopped at The Cheesecake Factory and got me a slice of red velvet cheesecake, and went home. That was it. And it was one of our best dates ever.

And...on top of all that, I got to spend the day at home with my hubby and my boys. I was working, but at least we were all together. Just thought I'd share.
