Valentine's Day and continuing wood working
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: Poison "Something to Believe In"

Yesterday was spent buying a folding bookcase to use as a display for this weekend, then buying various little Valentine's presents for DH, my Dad, for my Mom from my Dad, and cookies for my kids. I gave DH one of those "cookie cakes" from Mrs. Fields (I'm too busy to bake up a huge chocolate chip heart right now). I was told when he got home that his friend and coworker Cliff told him that he had to bring in milk today so that they could have milk and cookie. :)

I was on the receiving end of 6 long stem red roses. It's been ages since I got anything like that (usually, I tell DH to forgo flowers on Valentine's Day because they are so expensive, but I've decided that I'm worth it). Unless you get the wrong idea, I didn't ask for anything, nor did I hint for them, but they were very welcome. DH also suggested that we join another set of friends for dinner out at a local Japanese restaurant, but the reservation time was 8 p.m., which is way too late for us to have the kids out (Mom was willing to babysit). It would have been nice, but we'll go another time.

As part of my Valentine's present, DH brought home 6 samples of perfectly smooth sanded wood from our projects. We have 9 different types of wood being used for the spinners tool, and he worked for several hours sanding these down to show me last night. Tonight my plan is to go over to the shop, and help sand everything down. We have one more night after tonight to get everything assembled, and ready for the Spa weekend. It will be cutting it close, but we'll be ready.
