My FUN Valentine...

This past Valentine's Day was awesome. The week started with me getting a beautiful "just because" purple rose arrangement from The Hubby which was awesome; and then on Valentine's Day I received another (this one with orange roses) - both with handwritten notes and were simply awesome. Mr. Swann can be such a sweetie at times - too bad he wasn't stateside for me to "love on" in person. It was a great day...

As for Valentine's Night I attended a concert at L'Auberge Casino Resort in Lake Charles. I was invited by a coworker and purchased the tickets months ago, only to realize that the concert was Valentine's Night the week prior and I would be attending as the "third wheel" to her and her husband! Nonetheless, I went along and had a ball. We sent text messages to the teleprompters, sang along, and danced in the aisles; I didn't feel like a third wheel at all and she was right behind me when I decided to run up to the stage to catch a rose (well more like snatch a rose) but it WAS intended for me. The concert was great and Boys II Men performed many of their hits to which I sang along so loudly, I was hoarse the next day.

Texting fun..(check out the message at the bottom)

The lady in front of me grabbed mine!

Take two...

I got my rose!!

After the concert we drove to Coushatta Casino Resort which felt like another hour away but was probably more like 15-20 minutes (I think I fell asleep on the way) and met up with another co-worker and some friends to dance the night away in the Casino's dance club. I really enjoyed myself and danced the night away. I was dropped off about 4:30 am and remember nothing of the ride but arriving at home, it was seriously past my bedtime!!! I haven't stayed out that long since....well I can't remember. And I know just why I don't as I had to get right up and have Robert at an 8 am soccer game that morning...it was not a good look. I slept all day on Saturday and it literally took until Sunday night to recuperate. They, on the other hand, went right back out o Sat and asked was I attending....I think I'm too old with too many commitments for that type of lifestyle regularly. But, I did enjoy myself immensely...and even got to talk to the Hubby via Skype right before I dozed off that night (well morning),

I hope everyone enjoyed their day as much as I did...
