valentine's day
Brewman:
I didn't even see my wife yesterday. I leave for work before she gets up, and when I got home, she was still at work. She worked late, so I went to bed before she got home. A couple people where she worked called in sick, so they asked her to stay.
The annoying thing is that they weren't really sick. They wanted the evening off, and were denied. Hope they get their cabooses reamed when they show up this morning. And they better stay out of Mrs. B's way........ >:(

--- Quote ---So does anyone around here do much for Hallmark and See's favorite holiday? My B/F and I lament that commercialism has seized this one so thoroughly.......be he still got new PJ's and I got chocolate covered strawberries. We keep it very mellow. Dinner of leftover sushi and shrimp with a bottle of wine in front of reruns of Southpark. So romantic.

I completely agree...not only Valentine's Day, but also other holidays. Some are worse than others, but V Day is right at the top.
My boys (twin 17 year olds) had their girl friends over to watch a movie and have take out. Still did the card and gift for my wife. It was low key and a nice night with the wind blowing and the temps dropping.

My wife and I hardly acknowledge Valentines day. Like most guys, even though you found the love of your life, V-Day is a comercial, high presure pain in the butt. My wife get's annoyed at the price gouging. ($80 for a doz roses? $35 for chocolate? $6 for a card? and resturants? Forget it. they are a zoo.)
We celebrated one V-day when we first met, and since then she has been very outpsoken about not doing anything special. I protested (I think it was "oblilgitory that I did at least protest even if I to thought it was a sham..."But honey! I WANT to show how much I love you.....). Nope. She hates it.
Yesterday was actually a nice day. We each took a snow day, slept in. had coffee and bagels in the late morning. relaxed all day and then took care of the shoveling while she cooked a nice dinner.
We lit a fire in the upstairs living room, and pulled the two new chairs we just bought up close to fire place, listened to some music and had a bottle of wine. I just picked up Harry Conik Jr's ne CD NOLA and really enjoyed it. Nice background music. We just talked and watched the fire. We had forgotten it was valentines day, when I reminded her. "Happy Valentine's day" I said.
"oh yea. I forgot." she smiled.
Then I wandered out to the tub for a long overdue soak in the snowy night and ease my back from the shoveling.
:)
Life is good.
Very good. 8-)

I guess I'm the Valentine Pooper....I gave Ol' Meanness this box of candy I used as a prop at the recent home show. It was about 2/3rds full. I gave my daughter the bear, then I took them out for the buffet at Pizza Hut. I did give Ol' Meanness a $100 bill so she could buy me a present. She didn't.
