happy love day!

there seemed to be much to celebrate this valentine's day. the girls in my office went all out, with homemade valentine's day cards, two different kinds of cupcakes, roses, chocolate, and even disney princess fake tattoos. kasi also surprised me with flowers delivered to the office!

for the first time (in my adult life) i actually felt really into valentine's day -- and not just for the relationship aspect of it. i sent my mom a bouquet of roses + lilies (even though i ended up at her place twice today). and sharing valentine's with my office-mates was especially fun. maybe next year i can convince a group of friends to celebrate together, kind of like what brandi + kelly did...

kasi and i celebrated at home, with a low-key dinner. we had strawberries and whipped cream for appetizers, sipped champagne, and had a candlelit picnic in our living room. i made quinoa cakes using this recipe found on pinterest. i paired my "quinoa burger" with greek yogurt, middle eastern flat bread, a mound of arugala, and sliced cucumbers. mmm, delish!

hope your day was as filled with love as mine was.

ps. why valentine's isn't bullshit.

pps. i miss blogging.
