Valentines Day

So..Its February 13, 2014 .. the day before Valentines and all of the talk shows I PVR were talking about love and Valentines day, posing the question to men .."Are you ready?" meaning..have you thought about flowers, candy, date ideas..a special card?!

I think it's really special to do something for the person you love on Valentines Day. Ya . It's the simple things you do everyday and should continue to do on a regular basis that matter but I think in relationships everything becomes SO predictable and SO typical. Valentines Day is an easy opportunity to really set the mood for your relationship and give it the attention it needs to thrive.

I have always appreciated thoughtful flowers and card.. but I can say I think all ladies would like to be swept off their feet! I have nothing but my thoughts and ideas these days and I got to thinking about what type of Valentines Day would really WOW me.

My V-Day wow List:

1. Home cooked meal, complete with table decor like candles, music, and of course dessert.

2. A night out playing arcade games, playing pool or bowling and eating pizza and wings, fruity Bellini's and margaritas all night long!

3. A late night outdoor skate, beaver tails and long walk downtown with a Starbucks stop.

4. At home chill fest you bring a hand full of Records and I share some of mine ..we listen to music and chat..drinks, appetizers and maybe a fun Q&A deck of cards for conversation.

5. Out on the town, out for dinner and then either to watch a live local band or dancing at a club. Its an excuse to dress up and appreciate each other.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

These next ones are the WOW List:

6. A remote cabin in the mountains or woods somewhere. Fire Place, a play list of all the best romantic songs, Board games, romance movies, your undivided attention! No cell phones allowed!

7. A comedy club, a night full of laughs may be just what we need!

8. Take me to see a concert ( there is not always someone amazing in town but chances are there is someone interesting I would like! ) This is a big one for me, I love concerts! Chantal Kreviatzuk, U2, Third Eye Blind, Jill Scott, Justin Timberlake, Cold Play, Sheryl Crow, Boyz II Men, John Mayer, etc. I could go on and on but you get the idea!

9. Surprise weekend Getaway, bags packed..hotel booked, trip to New York City! Skating in Central Park and dessert at Serendipity. Possibly a full day shopping ? (that may be pushing it!)

10. It's hard to imagine anything better than number 9 ..so I will combine it actually..the weekend getaway still happens..it could be a week even and somewhere completely remote like an island you have to take a boat to get to.
>>>Before you whisk me away..you write me a song and play and sing it to me or a poem or maybe it's an inspired piece of art work? You share that with me, take me to a salon to get my hair done along with a manicure and pedicure..You collect a goodie bag of all my favorite candy, drinks, treats and magazines and give it to me on our way to the destination. If we're driving, you surprise me with a cd of music I love..If we're flying you have updated my iPod likewise.

All I can say is WOW!
Any of the ideas on this Valentines Day list would completely wow me. It's so much fun thinking about it! Tomorrow I am going to have a quiet night alone, I think I will pop in a frozen pizza and watch a few sappy movies : ) maybe have a bubble bath?...This sounds pathetic I know! but I am actually really looking forward to it!

Since I am all about the Lists:
Here is my Valentines Day Movie Must -See's :

1. Pretty Woman

2. The Body Guard
3. A Walk In The Clouds
4. Crazy Stupid Love
5. Legends of the Fall

I left out classics and of course there was no mention of "The Notebook" but these are just some of the ones I really like and will probably end up watching. Let me know of any others I need to see! another funny one I enjoyed watching last year was "Think Like a Man" I might just download that one too!

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
