So.  After my big “I’m going to be more domestic and blog about it!” announcement, what do you think I did?  Did I go right home and cook a big dinner from scratch for my husband?  Did I thoroughly clean our apartment from top to bottom?  Did I spend my weekend organizing stuff?

Heck no!  We went to Ikea for a new desk chair (and wok for me and pillow for Will), to WinCo for some groceries and then spent the rest of the weekend lying around.  I made frozen DiGorno pizza for dinner on Valentine’s Day.

We’re extremely cash poor these days so, even though it is our first Valentine’s Day as a married couple, I wanted to keep things low key.  I didn’t want Will to have to worry about whether or not we could afford to go to dinner (nevermind that every place we’d want to go would probably be packed) and I didn’t want him to buy me any presents.  In fact–for this Valentine’s Day I really really wanted to spoil him.

So, I found a card (“If our love were a garden I’d wanna be your hoe”), some “naughty” dice and, because when we saw it in the store he went into a childhood nostalgia riff, a box of 24 packets of fun dip (which in this context sounds x-rated, but is not).  And, for the BIG gift, I told him that he could spend the whole day in front of World of Warcraft without nary a complaint from me.

To add just a little hint of “awww, we’re married now and soooooooooooooo in love”-ness to our day, after we finished eating our pizza we defrosted the tier of our wedding cake that has been sitting in our freezer since the wedding and ate most of it.

As a present to me, Will said we could wear our geek shirts (his: “geek”, mine: “I <heart> my geek”) and, after spending the morning and afternoon in front of his game, he spent most of the evening curled up on the couch with me watching stuff that we’ve saved on the DVR.

In a word? Awesome.
