Jason gave me one of the best possible presents for Valentine's Day this year--a plan. In addition, there were roses waiting for me when I got home from a morning appointment! I gave him Neil Gaiman's _Harlequin Valentine_, doubly significant because we celebrated our very first V-Day together by attending a Gaiman reading that touched us both deeply. In the evening we went to our favorite local sushi place and then into town to see _Girl with Pearl Earring_ before heading back to snuggle on the couch. We've been in a particularly loving mood lately--always convenient when that happens to coincide with the calendar.

Here's a not-great photo of the totally fabulous present that Jason gave me tonight:
The thing is, I saw it at the jeweler's as steve and I were headed for our weekly lunch date. I ooh'd and aah'd over it and pointed out how perfect it would be for me--not only is it an opal, which I love and wear daily as a pendant, but the stones around the opal are garnets, my birth stone. So he snuck back after lunch and bought it for me and then called Jason and said "here's what you're giving her for her birthday." And my husband, smart man that he is, said "Absolutely!"
This was merely the visible highlight of an excellent day...more about that later.

A Dozen Long-Stemmed Red Roses
Jan. 8th, 2004 10:36 amThere are certain things that I don't mind being woken up for. The delivery of a dozen long-stemmed red roses from my best friend in England is one of them.
I love being the birthday girl!
