So no big money dropping going on here as far as flowers, cheap candy, marketed jewelry etc. I'll make the kids a Valentine's with some construction paper, glitter, sharpies and my vivid lack of arts and that is about it. I prefer when the 14th lands on a Sunday because then NASCAR is on and it makes it WAYYYYYY better as far as celebrating anything...

this if fabulous! i am jealous of the construction paper cards with glitter, those are always the best kind and the NASCAR does make celebrating anything wayyyyy better! driving a NASCAR round the track is on my bucket list... woOt!

salud!

I will be working. But. Come to think of it. It is suppose to be about love...and even though it won't be romantic love i will at least get to talk to a few of our sickly elder population and wish them a happy V day.

So, actually i think it will be a great V day after all.

Last year, she sent me 18 long-stem red roses to my job.

This year, our belts are a little tighter so I think I will make a nice roast instead of going out.

I did order pink and red M&M's that I had them put a picture of us on one side and "forever" on the other.

I think she will be surprised and will like them.

Last year was a host of recreated scenes from My Bloody Valentine, the original AND the remake. I am not certain what the day holds here but I am sure it will involve something low just key like last year.

Oh gosh, speaking of Porches, I used to tend bar in college and I had a regular that came in pretty much everyday. He worked for Porsche and would tell me Porsche jokes all the time. Here is just one of many that I have.

A yuppie parks his brand new Porsche in front of the office to show it off to his colleagues. As he’s getting out of the car, a huge 18-wheel truck comes flying along too close to the curb, tears the door off the Porsche, and keeps on going.
Distraught, the yuppie grabs his cell phone and calls the police. Five minutes later, the cruiser pulls up to find him screaming hysterically.
“My Porsche, my beautiful red Porsche is ruined! No matter how long it’s at the body shop it’ll simply never be the same again!”
After he finally stops ranting and raving, the policeman shakes his head in complete disgust. “I can’t believe how materialistic you damn yuppies are,” he says, “You’re all so focused on your possessions that you don’t notice anything else in your life.”
“How can you say such a thing at a time like this?” snaps the yuppie.
“You must be in deep shock,” the policeman replies. “Didn’t you realize that your left arm was torn off when the truck hit you?”
The yuppie looks down in absolute horror. “Damn it to hell!” he screams, “Where’s my Rolex?”

More often than not, I have to work. In the past I have taken my cue on how to celebrate based on the wants of the person I am with. One thing I would love to do is prepare an indoor picnic. By this time winter in MN has taken its toll and I want to be outside. So instead I would lock the cats away (they like to steal food), put out a blanket and a nice spread of foods based on what she likes, pour some wine, put on some music, probably have some candles going, and spend time just talking, laughing, smiling, kissing... whatever

Yeah, I'm a dork... but I'm cute and loveable.
