Roses With Love

Roses With LoveVictor spent the day with me yesterday. As he walked through the door, he gave me a dozen pink roses… Plus two red roses and a slab of chocolate… He spoils me… I had made some lunch, beef lasagne… Out of a box though as my mother did not want to find the lasagne pasta but it still tastes good! We had that for dinner too. We spent the day at my house playing PlayStation® with my younger sisters, driving around and had drinks at Jazz Time Café before heading back to my house to watch the television…

I am so happy that I will be spending this Valentine’s Day with someone that makes me feel loved… I used to hate Valentine’s Day… Victor has already bought a Valentine’s gift for me and I have yet to buy his gift. I have two days left and I still do not know what to get him…

I should have given this website a new look by the end of next week or so… Whenever it suites me, I guess… I will be basing my new layout on the latest version of K2 and it will be simple. I have had this current layout for months… And I am getting tired of seeing it…

I Feel So Clumsy

Victor and I went out for dinner last night. We sat down at Ocean Basket, made our order and after about an hour of waiting, Victor asks our waiter how much longer it will be before our food is ready. Our waiter told us that we did not order. We did, we ordered our meal when we ordered our first drinks but apparently we did not… Our waiter even brought the bread after we ordered our meal the first time but whatever…

Anyway, we then ordered again and while we were waiting, Victor bought me a beautiful red rose. I felt all special but now I feel a little clumsy because I had forgotten the rose at the restaurant when we left. When I had told Victor that I had forgotten the rose at the restaurant, he told me not to worry and that he will buy another rose for me. He is too sweet!

I still feel so clumsy though. It was right next to my handbag, I guess I did not see it as I just grabbed my handbag…

For dinner we had a seafood platter for two, which we shared. Prawns, calamari, mussels… I really like seafood, prawns are my favorite though. Often here at home, some of my sisters and mother would eat canned mussels. The smoked kind in the oil; I hate them. I prefer the cooked ones that Victor and I had last night though.

I saw my brother at Key West last night too as Victor and I were walking to Ocean Basket and this morning I was to go to his college with my mother. I slept in too late and had a bad headache so I did not go with. My mother is getting her hair cut and I was supposed to have my hair dyed black. I guess that I will get it done, sometime…

I miss my brother. We used to spend so much time when we were both attending college and before he got together with his boyfriend. All the time we used to spend acting like fools and having fun. Telling each other everything and being there for each other… I miss all of it. I miss him!

All Is Good, Said She

Victor is awesome. We have had three dates thus far and they have all been great. Saturday afternoon he came over to fetch me for our picnic, and as I was bout to sit in the car, on top of the passenger seat were a beautiful faux red rose and black hair piece. The faux rose is perfect, at first I had thought it was real but I am glad that it is not, it looks like the real thing and it will never die… He is Too sweet! Anyway, we had a picnic that included sipping on sweet sparkling red wine and eatingt delicious fresh strawberries with whipped cream…

After our picnic, we went to another park and after that we went to my brother’s place so I could introduce Victor to him. After our visit, we went back to my house but no one was home yet from church that night. So we went back to Key West and had a walk. My mom called for me to come home, so Victor took me back home. He joined me for dinner and then he, my sisters, mother and I sat in the lounge and watched the television till about eleven o’clock…

Victor and I have a date on Thursday. We should be going out with my brother and his boyfriend. Coffee, drinks or something… My brother suggested that we should all go out together on Thursday or Friday night…

I had received my new monitor last Wednesday. It was a mission to carry up stairs, it is heavy and I was practically walking like a duck trying to balance myself walking up the stairs in my long skirt. I would have asked the delivery guy to bring up stairs for me but that would have made me feel really uncomfortable… The speakers that I had ordered were not delivered because they were out of stock and I was reimbursed for that. I placed an order for a different set of speakers this passed weekend so I should hopefully getting the speakers soon…

Lately, I am really enjoying some of the music by Ratatat. Nick had sent me a small package which contained two CDs with mixed music, a Christmas card, a keychain and a pouch of strawberry flavored Pop Rocks. I love Pop Rocks and have not had them in many years so it was a real treat. I am going to send him a package in return; a South African keychain, biltong and some other things that I am unsure of as of yet…

My brother has asked me to be a model for an “up” hair style for his assignment for college. I should be at Hair Inc. in about an hour for this. I always help my brother with many things, I just wish he would do the same for me, have a little more time for me… I do not know…
