Best Valentine's Day to date and new words

I'm liking doing quick short posts as I remember cool things that happen.

I had a great Valentine's day this year.  It is traditionally my least favorite holiday of the year - just not into the commercialisation (notice the appropriate use of "s" - I'm working on using British spelling!).  This year, 2 of the Brits were in town for work, so the three of us grabbed dinner at my favorite Indian place.  It took us a while to find a place to go and the guys were really great about avoiding places with balloons and the like.  The food was great, conversation was awesome.  Not sure what I was dreading about V-day this year - most fun I've ever had on the holiday!

Speaking of British spelling, I've also started using more traditional British descriptions...like "loo" for restroom or "trousers" for pants.  I haven't developed a British accent yet, but hopeful that will happen :)

On the Dutch side, I'm now up to about 10 phrases.  It's so hard!!!  And it's pretty embarrassing because one of the UK guys has picked up a lot more than I have and he doesn't live here!  He can order food in Dutch!  Grrrr.  Clearly, languages are not my skill.
