HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, everyone!
It's also our 27th wedding anniversay and true to form, Keoni got me nothing. But that's fine because just having HIM is enough for me. ;-) 23621. Magoseph - 2/14/2008 5:28:04 PM Well, I think that just like two years ago, he will surprise you later in the day! 23622. Ms. No - 2/14/2008 5:38:30 PM Happy Anniversary, Juditha!
Happy VD to the rest of you! ;-> 23623. alistairconnor - 2/14/2008 7:21:28 PM What do you think Judith? Do you want to be surprised? Are you genuinely happy with "nothing" or is it just a matter of managing expectations in case he really does nothing?
I promised my gal that I would do nothing for "VD" but supposing she really secretly wants me to do something...
ah fuck it. 23624. anomie - 2/14/2008 8:20:47 PM You'd better get on the ball AC. Women never forget that you forgot. Or in your case, that you kept the promise she wished you hadn't. 23625. alistairconnor - 2/14/2008 8:31:07 PM She'll laugh about it but she'll be crying inside eh?
She'll get over it... :O) 23626. anomie - 2/14/2008 8:38:43 PM I wouldn't risk it. Unfortunately I speak from experience, although my particular sin was/is forgetting birthdays. 23627. wonkers2 - 2/14/2008 10:43:42 PM Thanks for the reminder. I just bought a pound of dark chocolate with a valentine wrapping. 23628. arkymalarky - 2/15/2008 12:34:08 AM HAPPY ANNIVERSARY JUDITH!
We're currently celebrating vd at the truckstop. Bob didn't plan it. I spent time after school hunting him a card and came home starving, so dinner was a matter of self-preservation for him. And if I don't see a steak very soon, he's going down anyway. 23629. judithathome - 2/15/2008 12:57:02 AM Are you genuinely happy with "nothing" or is it just a matter of managing expectations in case he really does nothing?
Let's just say I am resigned to receiving nothing. He claims it's because he doesn't know what to get me but I feel thst is just a cop out, like him claiming it's because he's a MAN that he can't put his keys in the same place every night when he comes home which results in US searching for half an hour every morning for the "missing" keys.
23630. arkymalarky - 2/15/2008 1:15:23 AM Bob says the same thing, and my response is that the town he teaches in is bigger than the one I teach in, yet I manage to find a card. I don't care about stuff--it is, truly, the thought that counts. 23631. Ms. No - 2/15/2008 10:00:05 AM I celebrated with my mom who's in town for a visit. We took care of car title exchange and registration and resident parking permit errands all morning and then went to lunch at a place called Paesano's.
I'm all about their pork fusili --- habanjero pesto, kalua pork and a dab of sour cream. It's amazing.
Tonight was opening night for The Vagina Monologues and the show went off really well. We were ten times better tonight than we were in rehearsal last night. All the same, I'm glad we've only got one more performance.
23632. alistairconnor - 2/15/2008 10:37:19 AM it is, truly, the thought that counts.
Aaah... so the SMS was enough! That's reassuring. 23633. alistairconnor - 2/15/2008 11:27:22 AM Congratulations Nyetskaya... Makes a change from Jex's Virginia Monologues in the politics thread... 23634. arkymalarky - 2/15/2008 5:25:38 PM Congrats, No!
I have a four day weekend. Bob has a three day weekend. Heh. 23635. arkymalarky - 2/15/2008 5:26:15 PM But he gets out a week earlier than I do at the end of the year. 23636. wonkers2 - 2/15/2008 5:28:57 PM Apparently Jane Fonda used a no-no slang word on the Today Show? yesterday when discussing the "Vagina Monologues." My morning paper failed to provide a clue as to what descriptive term she used. The network and Fonda later apologized. The paper speculated over whether the network would be fined by the FTC. 23637. arkymalarky - 2/15/2008 5:34:40 PM Starts with a "c" and ends with a "t" and matches the acronymn of a tasteless anti-Hillary group. 23638. judithathome - 2/15/2008 6:00:09 PM Well, Magos was right! After all my complaining and rationalizing yesterday, the lad came through. He knows me too well and explained last night that he knew I'd see a credit card bill before "the big day" so he put the gift on layaway and picked it up yesterday before he headed home. I saw the receipt and that is indeed what he had done...ha!
He also knows me well, despite his protestations, in what he bought me...a beautiful necklace of lemon agate flat beads and a jet black pendant hanging from it. It's very unusual and feels wonderful against my skin.
We went to a village meeting about natural gas drilling and then on to SONIC for a romantic dinner for two. Those caramel apple bites they are advertising now are vile. 23639. arkymalarky - 2/15/2008 6:52:00 PM Good for you, Judith!
I'm glad you tried the caramel apple bites first, because I love the cheesecake bites and was anxious to try the apple ones.
