I know Valentine’s is a Hallmark holiday, but I still love it.
I love hearts. I love doilies. I love valentines. I love pink and red. I love red hot, cinnamon candy hearts. I love red hot, cinnamon candy hearts smashed in sugar cookies. I love it all. Including my husband.
As I said before, we are watching our friends sweet, little teacup terriers for 10 days. At night we put them in their crate to sleep and then, in the morning, let them out when we wake up. Well, those little stinkers have somehow figured out how to unzip their crate and get out!! The first morning it happened, we thought it was a fluke and figured we must have not zipped it up correctly. The next morning, when they came running to our door, we we’re still a bit baffled. All to say,..it’s happened the past 3 consecutive mornings and we’ve come to terms that we just have two little smart puppies on our hands!! It’s hilarious and so cute! They get so happy in the morning, jumping on our bed and licking our faces,… we can’t find it in our hearts to get upset with them. It’s just so stinking adorable.
Well,…all that to say,….they woke us up again this morning, bright and early, at 7am (I know, I know,..7am isn’t that early, but it’s early to us!!). While J went back to sleep, I decided to stay up and surprise him with some pre-valentine’s day waffles. YUM!
We went on a Costco run last weekend and bought a ton of blackberries, blueberries, and ridiculously priced peaches. I think all of those are, technically, out of season but, we live in San Diego,…who in San Diego keeps tabs on “seasons”. Seasons, shmeasons,…it’s summer year-round here!
But,…..LOOK! Yummy,…fluffy delicious waffles…!!! With ridiculously, overpriced berries on top!!!
I must give props to my sweet mother-in-law, though, for buying me the most amazing-ever-belgian waffle maker and waffle recipe book for my birthday!! Thanks Mom R!!
Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!!

I am having a great Valentines Day so far. But not as great as you. Yum yum.
You have to watch out for those little puppies. Before you know it they’ve stole your heart and when they go back home, you will have to go out and buy two more.

Oh, those waffles look good. Makes me wish that we had decent fruit here this time of year. And that my stomach would stop acting up so I could actually eat stuff.
And, while I have to admit that I’m a V-day hater, I hope you have a wonderful Thursday.
