Valentine's Day

So I recently moved offices within my building and relocated to the top floor of the building.
It seems here on the top floor I have lost all concept of time. I no longer know what day it is, what time it is, and occasionally, I have no idea what month it is. As nice as the view from the top is, I miss my old office and knowing what time of day it is and if it is time for me to go home.
Because of this new time warping office, I lost track of time and had no idea that Valentine's day was this weekend...I know...some wife I am.

In an attempt to savage this over commercialized holiday without battling the mall to buy gifts for each other; Matt and I left the apartment today without a plan except to have some type of Valentine's date.

So, we tried a new (new to us) restaurant called Mango Thai on Lovers (lovers = valentine's day, right?) Lane.
Drank fancy drinks with little umbrellas!
I marveled at all the pretty vegetable garnishments on the food. (There's nothing I love more than radishes turned into roses, carrots turned into butterflies, miniature corn [I know they don't do anything fancy to make miniature corn...it's just so darn cute], and any other vegetables shredded up into little curls.)
And we finished up with dessert from Sprinkles cupcakes!
I got Vegan red velvet cupcakes and they were DELICIOUS! Especially because I had no allergic reaction to eating them!
Matt got a Black and White cupcake and a Red Hot Velvet cupcake. (The icing is suppose to taste like red hot candies)
Oh and did I mention that we did all of this before 4pm?
I know that makes us sound like 2 old fogies, but I'm choosing to take is as we've got the whole night ahead of us to find more fun stuff to do!

LOST is back!

Themed meals totally disappeared as the year went on last year. I don't know what happened...I just did it for so many years that I finally just lost my sense of creativity. I'm really trying to get it back though, so we started out small with our sad 2 person LOST themed meal.

L for LOST...and not Losers!
Matt put his favorite quote from the show on a shirt...he's hard core.
Traditional Jack Shepherd's Pie

The Egyptian foot Matt molded from mashed potatoes...it looks pretty gross.
