we don't celebrate Valentines day, we simply have to many dates, our days are the 9th and the 23rd of every month - 23rd when we met and I proposed a year later and the 9th was both wedding events, buying the house, baby shower and soon - April 9th will be the delivery date, already checked with the stork. so one day of us having to buy something seems fake to me, i prefer bring flowers occasionally , which i do now, more meaningful. so I was surprised when Alla brought me something yesterday. just a coincidence actually with valentines day but she got us sheets and pillows. when i heard that she got pillows, i immediately asked if she got me a very soft pillow, which i like, the answer was no, I got extra firm.. we laughed.
on the weekend with my mom visiting, the day was nice so we went on a hike, with no proper show gear for our guests we walked on the bike path which was clean of snow but with out signs of salt. with clear skies we walked for 7 k with regular walking speed, enjoying the brisk air and a pack and scaring off a pack group of deer. this was a straight hike, not a loop. we parked the car on one end, and Inna , who joined the hike later at the other end and drove us back, a moment of scare passed when we couldn't find the car, well a moment of panic for Alla, her car after all, i just thought it was towed. we were just looking in the wrong place.
today, valentines day, while Alla is enjoying her day at the pharmacy, i went with a friend to a local pub for wings night, nothing is more romantic then wings. on wings night they come in packs - you cant get less then 10 in any flavor, and without honey mustard, we chose garlic Parmesan and Cajun. i don't go for the really hot wings, too hot for me, and yet i got burnt. the oil inside was super hot- temperature wise, burnt my tongue a bit. the chicken was OK, the Cajun better then the garlic, but the oil, oMG, so much oil, the chicken was drenched, a pool of oil appeared on the table below the wood like plate and some paper layer, the oil dripped down like acid in some movie, i needed ice cream after that just to cure my self from the oil.
happy valentines day and good night, about to try my extra firm pillow
