I like Valentine's Day (I like holding up my end of a resolution too...but that didn't go so well now did it??) mostly because I like chocolate and fluffy feelings of love and mush. I also like sappy love stories on TV and jewelery commercials - even though I think it is a waste to buy me jewelry considering I wear my wedding ring and the cheapest pair of earrings Silpada has.
I really like Valentine's Day when I get a gift and not the "leave a hint" kind of gift. When Mr. T. does it all on his own like he did when we were in high school. Or when he brings me flowers from the pasture.
Mr. T. was informed that we were not going to celebrate Valentine's Day this year - we would make some supper together and rent a movie. He looked at me sideways. I knew it...he already got me a present.
After a little prodding he finally admitted he got me a present. So he jumped up and ran to our bed room and brought out my gift....a 12 gauge shot gun.
I tried my best to look excited and not horrified. I like to hunt but I wasn't expecting it - especially since we are flat broke.
So imagine my humor when today at lunch the basketball coach excitedly told his wife, the preschool teacher, he got her Valentine's Day present in the mail. She shouldn't open it unless she was very careful. We all made jokes about what it could be....nun chucks, a live animal, etc.
However when she left the room after lunch he told me...it's a tazer. In a few minutes she went to his room and he told her. She said she didn't want it. BAHAHAHAH. Because it made her think of Janet Evanovich's books (One for the Money...etc) BAHAHAHHA and she was afraid her kids might try it out on one another...OH Vaild point.
So, it's nice to know that while my husband tried and failed, at least he tried...and at least he got something one of us will really enjoy.
