V@l3nt!n3's D@y!!

So Valentines Day is special to both Sean and I but we really feel that this holiday is really overrated. Sean proposed to me on Valenitnes Day back in 2005. So we chose to take it easy and cheap on this holiday. So the only thing i asked for was flowers that arent roses and i get to pick them out.

Me with all my bouquets of random flowers

My orchid....

My pink tulips

my purple tulips...

And these are my absolute favorite flowers of all time. I really have no idea what kind they are but they last forever. How they show they are dying is the bottom layer of petals just start to fade and slowly turn brown but i found a way to make these last at least 2 weeks. I will just pluck the petals that are wilting and the center and other petals look like its a fresh flower still. The only place i have seen these is at the Wal-Mart Market Place and they are only $2.50. I love these. I try to atleast have one set of these flowers in a mason jar everyweek for my tutoring room. That room is so blah and grey that i need some girly color and flowers do just fine.

So after a day of tutoring and just plain taking it easy we ate at a fabulous restaurant called "CAFE MIX". It is a greek restaurant that has great gyro's. Its located on the corner of McKellips and Greenfield by the Jamba Juice and WaMU. i really suggest you all try it if you like mediterranian food. As we were getting ready to leave the chick that regularly greets you when you arrive gave all the ladies at the restaurant a rose when they were leaving. What a special treat on this holiday.
