Flowers and Chocolate

Hope you all have had a great Valentine’s Day weekend…mine is still going since we had the day off today!! 

I really want to just dive right into the INCREDIBLE dinner I had last night, but that baby deserves its own post.  I will say there was a deep fried banana involved…just saying ;)

First, let’s rewind to Saturday morning.  I hit up Body Pump and then came home starving for breakfast!

Whipped up an iced latte and a ham, egg, cheese breakfast sandwich on an Arnold’s Thin!

Mmm, hit the spot.  I was so involved in making my breakfast that it took me a few minutes to realize this was on the table:

:)  I love flowers…and chocolate.

I was good and ate my breakfast first, but it wasn’t too much longer before I had to see what was in that box!!!

In here we have: (let’s see if I can remember what Brian told me)

  • the top piece is a chocolate pretzel rod…I ate that guy first.
  • bottom left: salted caramel
  • bottom right: green tea truffle
  • top left (hidden): dark choc. cranberry turtle!!
  • top middle: pomegranate truffle
  • top right: a cappuccino filled chocolate

I’d say he did a perfect job.

This week was also a fun opportunity to really PINK-out my table :)

And used my glass heart bowl that you receive from Crate and Barrel when registering :)

I switched the roses to this old silver antique tea kettle

and even had a PINK grapefruit in a PINK bowl :)

Was hoping to get in a run today but let’s see how the weather is.  Either way definitely going to Body Combat tonight!

Enjoy your President’s Day!  Anyone else have the day off??  Poor Brian had to get up early to go to work while I slept :)
