Accidental Valentine's Day

Doug and I usually don't do Valentine's day since we don't really believe in overpriced love. I had my interview this morning and then work, and he was at work all day. We had been planning on going to youth group, but Doug's boss randomly told him to take the night off. So I cooked us an impromptu candlelit dinner and then made chocolate covered strawberries (with Ghiradelli chocolate!). The strawberries were on sale at Target (and they're huge!), and turns out Ghiradelli chocolate chips are the same price as Nestle. Who knew? Now they're still chilling in the fridge till we're ready to eat them.

I also made Doug watch a chick flick. Made is too harsh a word. He was actually very nice about it and went along without any complaints. I did use Valentine's Day for some leverage as to why we had to watch one (just waiting for Halloween to bite me in the butt...). I chose The Time Traveler's Wife, and he said it was pretty good. I feel like I like the good chick flicks though...I don't think I've steered him wrong yet.

Our strawberries!

Lately I've really been into trying to eat healthier. (I ate three donuts last night though...and one today...). But I've been having some fun with some cooking. I tried making my chicken a new way and now that's the only way I cook it. I have a hard time with changing recipes once I find one that I like. I've also gotten into brussel sprouts. I don't know if how I make them is healthy, but they're delicious. And I've never liked them before. I make a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, minced onion, and salt, and then roll the brussel spouts in it (I've only used frozen too as they're super cheap at Target that way). Then I roast them at 400 for about 30 minutes, turning them half way through. They are so good. I've eaten them 4 times for dinner this week. I've been pleasantly surprised to realize that I like many more vegetables than I despise (brussel sprouts just switched sides, but lima beans are still on the despise list). 

As I stated earlier, I had an interview today. It was for a teller position at Wells Fargo. I was online and searching for jobs and thought, "Why not?" So I applied and got a group interview appointment. I feel like it went well, but I felt like we were all on a similar playing field, so I don't really know how they are going to choose who to extend a second interview to. Pretty much, either a hiring manger from a branch will call me or I'll be emailed a rejection. I guess after that I'll really know how I feel about this position. Right now it's pretty casual. Not that I don't care about the position, but just knowing that if it doesn't happen then I'm not supposed to work there. Simple as that. 

Luna has discovered our bath mat (I called it when we first got her) and has been loving it. She "fights" with it and plays with it. She bites it and hides under it. She's hilarious with it. Here's a video of it (you also get to see her ninja somersault that she does)

Haha she cracks me up
