Don't forget!

I could get behind a National Pancake Day!
That's exactly why I'm puzzled, and a bit miffed, that DH said he got me something. We had specifically said nothing would come in the door for this Hallmark manufactured "holiday."
I'm hoping that at this point next week, I'll report that my "unromantic" something was a visit from a plumber to fix that leaky pipe in the basement.

I personally LOVE gifts whether they come on organized holidays, unorganized holidays, or even pancake day. Commercial, non commercial. Religious, non religious. It is safe to say that I will always receive a present with a huge freaking smile on my face.

And you know all that blah, blah, blah, blah about the joy of Christmas is the giving? Well, that is all good, but as we all know, there is, dare I say it??????????? MORE JOY IN RECEIVING THAN GIVING

There - I have opened myself up for slaughter - I can take it, just give it to me with a gift, please!!!

Well, I did the unthinkable. I told my hubby to skip the flowers this year. Whatever roses are being delivered in this area don't last but a day so instead of watching the flowers die a quick death, I decided to forego that and wait and see what hubby has up his sleeve. So far it's nothing.

I think I am rambling, so I will get to the point- no flowers, no diamonds, just get me cycling stuff and I will be happy. If the UPS truck with that parcel on it crashes and burns, then I will be saddened!

Are you sure your name isn't SILVER?

No flowers please, cycling stuff or books are just fine.

My birthday is the 17th and all I care about is people remembering me then. I do prefer DH get me a valentine's card but not much else. We usually get pizza and stay home.

Silver's b'day is the 16th...for her 40th b'day, I found out that florists don't give post valentine's day discounts for 40 red roses...$150!

Glad that was a one time thing...

Ouch!! Guess that isn't your plan for her 50th?

DH shocked the heck out of me and sent me a pajama gram! I am a HUGE fan of flannel pajamas and he picked out a pair to be sent to me. So much better than flowers. Of course I worked crazy long hours this week and didn't even get him a card.

National Pancake Day is the only exception.

That's funny, because for V-day, we went to the Vet College pancake breakfast fundraiser. That's all. No flowers, cards, etc.

Feb 14 is too close to our un-anniversary on Feb 22. We always celebrate that, because many years ago, we forgot our 1st wedding anniversary in August in the excitement over a one month old baby. (Do the math, 12 - 1 = 11, and 11>9. Not that I care, just so you know.) Feb 22 was the day we first kissed, 15 years ago.

But no flowers or cards for the un-anniversary either. He's taking me shopping at Victoria's Secret!
