Another much appreciated public service announcement!
(******SPOILER ALERT FOR ENOCH STEVENSON aka MAGISTER!******)
I'm thankful that my hubby gave me some extra cash to buy myself a Valentine's day gift--so I can get exactly what I want: a little bit of chocolate and some cheap flowers for me, a sweet little surprise something for 4 of our 5 kids (#5 is almost 7 weeks old), and a case of fresh jalapeno peppers for my husband. I just love that man!
Thanks for the PSA - after years of heeding her words "Don't buy me flowers, they're a waste of money", and, "don't get me chocolates, I don't want the temptation around the house", I was prompted to ignore them by this - and it was well received!
Neither of us wound up getting the other anything this year, but it was mainly due to circumstances beyond our control. It turned out well, though, because I got to pick up my wife and drive her home from volunteering at the pregnancy center. Normally her mother would do that, so it was an unexpected time for us to be together and just talk and enjoy the drive.
I'm not counting on doing that next year, though. 8o)
Telling you what dainty elitists won't tell you, and saying it the way they won't say it, since 2004.
You're welcome.

Hahahaha. Good one. We actually have in-laws coming to town today so it should make for a different kind of Valentine's Day.
I fell for that one once, never again. I was a yoot in high school.

LOL!!! Perhaps this should've been posted yesterday?
Nah; that's Monday Music day! Tradition!
Besides, stores are still open, Charlene.

I've never understood this.
Is Valentine's Day so important that you can justify having an attitude if you don't get presents?
My wife's Valentine's day to me.
"Oh...Happy Valentines Day...lol" via yahoo messenger...in the middle of a discussion about what history curriculum to use next year.
My wife is the--Best. Valerie. Ever!
(good way to make sure this doesn't make it past the moderation queue :) )
Oh, I allow comments that are just DEAD WRONG all the time.

(I think my dear wife, The Valerie, would say that the name itself tends to excellence.)

Exactly :)
Not Related: Someone that I gave a copy of WTG to quoted it on his FB page today. I think he's enjoying it.
Oh, sweet! Thanks Mike!
I just tell my wife, "you still have me, what more do you want?"
;)
@Sir Aaron:
Well, that's better than, "I told you I loved you last year;if anything changes I'll let you know" :-D
Sir Aaron & Pierre, you are blessed to have such longsuffering wives....
(And Mmes Aaron & Pierre, you have my sympathy.) :P
LOL, Pierre. I love it.
My husband is in Las Vegas on a business trip and did not send have an overpriced bunch of roses that will be dead in a week delivered to my door.
I love him so much.
I flew into that trap, now what?
