So I just got home from class about 30-40 minutes ago. I was just relaxing, sitting here, PMSing a bit (ok a lot) when suddenly there was a knock on the door. I went out and it was the UPS man. So I just assumed it was something my roommate had ordered and signed for it, but when I looked down I saw that it had been shipped from my dad's shop, and sure enough it was for me. Turns out my mom and dad sent me a little Valentine's Day care package.
It came complete with a lovely card, a small bouqet of colorful fake tulips (one of my favorites, these are very pretty and a cute idea, I thought), a box of hot chocolate, a bunch of Rice Krispies Treats, a box of Hershey's Swoops chocolates, and a bag of Hershey's Kisses filled with caramel (YUMMY)!
Talk about a nice surprise, and what a great pick me up for a ho-hum day where I'm busy PMSing hehe.

This has just made me so happy and so I thought I'd share. Little surprises like this are really such huge things to someone's heart. I had a great Valentine's Day, but I haven't seen my family in over a month (a long time for a homebody like me) and I definitely miss them. PMS now over and I'm ready to have a great evening!


Anyone else get any little unexpected surprises this Valentine's Day?

That is so sweet of your parents to do for you!!

I was invited out to dinner by my neighbor. Both our husbands are out of town so we did the single woman thing and got burgers and beer
We got some funny looks too. It was great.


I have to tell you that I just adore your siggy.
Waffle is a cutie.

That's so nice that you and your neighbor got to go out! Nice way to make it a good holiday even without the hubby!!!

Thanks!! A friend of mine made the icon of Waffle for me. I think it's great, I'm glad you like it!

What a wonderful thing for your parents to do...

I also had a surprise this Valentine's Day.. I have been stressing and stresssing lately over our new little expectance(I am pregnant) and I wasn't supposed to see my boyfriend for 3 more months until he offically moves here..so when I got home from work, him and my whole family along with my friends were here to through me a surprise "Expectance Party" It was really fun, and it made me feel great.

I absolutely agree. I have always felt lucky to have had the parents I have.
Working at a visitation center I absolutely know that there are many not nearly as lucky, sadly.
