It's Valentines Day!

The day is gloomy here in Zadar, but my heart is anything but, and that’s all that matters on a day like today.  It’s Valentines Day, the day of love, romance, chocolate and flowers.  I’ll be lucky to get any form of the latter three because D is not a fan of the Americanized, moneygrubbing holidays (V Day being on the top of his hate list) but I’ve forced him into cooking me dinner and picking any flower from the side of the road to present to his pajama attired princess waiting patiently for him to get home from work.

This morning I decided to get all V Day crazy and have my usual cup of jo in an appropriately themed mug, with a side of cookies and chocolate, while reading my newest paperback.  I just finished reading “A Walk in the Woods” by Bill Bryson, a tale of travel on the Appalachian Trail, and thought what better way to start my next read “My Life in France” by Julia Childs, a story about her love of food, France and hubby Paul, on a day like today. 

After reading a few more chapters and doing my twenty minute workout with Gillian Michaels (my celebrity trainer for the week), I’m off to the market to buy something to make for dessert.  I’m thinking strawberry and cream crepes.  Sexy huh?  Be back to report soon.
