Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day from the Weavers! Now, ladies, prepare to awww. Monday morning, I awoke to this:

Not pictured: red lighting

Yep, those are heart-shaped, made-from-scratch pancakes! Yeah, with strawberry milk. The night before, Robert went to Wal-Mart and told me he got "red" stuff. (Red? I asked. Yes, he said, it's Valentine's Day!)

I wanted to get him something that was classical Valentine's Day, but something more personal than cologne:

Coupon book!

"1 pass from taking Roxie out - good anytime"

I also got Robert a tempurpedic neck pillow like I have. He also got me a box of chocolates. Because, hey, awesome breakfasts do not excuse you from getting the box of chocolates.

Anywho, now a lightning fast recap of the past 2 weeks. Our roommate, Mako, moved out. We got to move into the room with the bigger bath and closet, and now we also have two bathrooms, which is great since we get ready at the same time.

I got the flu.

We bought furniture! We got a great deal on this floor-model couch, which is a good thing since Robert ended up sleeping on it during my flu.

Poor Robert....

Robert found this interestingly shaped table at a flea market, and it was perfect for our corner TV.

Also, we got a table off of Craigslist. You can see it in the Valentine pictures above. It has a granite top which is cool looking. Once my best-inlaws-ever get here in March with the coffee table and a few recliners, as well as my bedroom furniture, we will definitely be feeling like we have a home! Not having a roommate helps too....

My husband is a pretty organized guy. I am too, in theory. In the theory that I would like to be organized. The great thing about Robert is he thinks of ways to get organized easily. Instead of fighting the fact that I always leave my coat on the chair instead of putting it in the closet, he just put a hook next to the front door.


Instead of fighting to get pots and pans in and out of our tiny cabinet, he put hooks in our pantry to hold them.

Now while I get to enjoy all these innovations, I have been doing my part too. No more "folding" t-shirts like a single girl:

My previous method of choice

Ah, so much better

Robert and I made a deal that I will do all the laundry and he will do all the dishes. Which we are both pretty happy with so far. I'm especially happy with the fact that I have made $25.36 while doing his laundry. It is a bonus that he is always amazed at my ability to have cash on hand when we need it without ever having to go to the bank.

For Superbowl Sunday, we went to 2 parties, because there is just not enough Weaver to go around. I made 6 layer dip (not 7 layer, because olives are gross)

The recipe is pretty basic, put a layer of refried beans, cover with a layer of cheese. Bake until cheese melts. Cover with salsa, sour cream, then avocados. Top with a layer of cheese. Then, have your husaband make a ring of sour cream topped with spices so it is more aesthetically pleasing. Next, take to Superbowl party where you will contract the flu by sharing dip with people.

Next post I will share the recipe for made-from-scratch pizza! Hopefully in less than 2 weeks.
