V-V-V... Valentines!

Well ladies, it's that time of year again ... where everything in the store is a shade of pink and the entrance to every grocery store is a rose garden.

J and I always have a pact to NOT celebrate Valentines in a traditional way.   This year, we semi-failed though.  We made dinner and got drunk at home ;)

I made a vegan lasagna with salad and an artichoke appetizer.  It was delicious!  And only about 300 calories with 16 grams of protein per serving!  Noodles, spinach, garlic, eggplant and tomato sauce were the only ingredients, and yet somehow- it was divine!   While I cooked the food, J made Espressotini's!  I also had champagne while he drank merlot.  It was tasty and perfect.

Not to mention we had Avett Brothers on vinyl the ENTIRE night... except for two hours where I had a dance party with these 2 to the "Back to the Future" soundtrack .... man I love vinyl more than I can express :)

 Not to mention it has "The Wallflower (Dance with me Henry)" by Etta James that I jammed out to NON-STOP when I was a kiddo!  Then we continued the dance party to the Annie Soundtrack that was the FIRST vinyl I ever owned ;)

We also spent the night making this little gem ;)

Truth ;)

So Happy Valentines to all my friends and fam!  May you celebrate today surrounded by those that you love!  Be it a friend, family member or significant other.  Today is about love and that is truly all that matters :)

and I had a random bubble heart in my champagne.... weird ;)
