I'd much prefer flowers to diamonds; at least nobody gets brutally murdered trying to cut the roses. No, but some folks cutting the roses are apparently exposed to dangerous levels of toxic pesticides and fungicides: "Cut Flower Industry Relies on Heavy Pesticide Use"

We went to see Music and Lyrics and we both loved it. I’m a sucker for romantic comedy and I’m a double sucker for Hugh Grant. He’s about the charmingest mofo on the planet.

I always end up having to work on Valentine’s Day, so my wife and I usually end up celebrating the weekend before or after, so we get a day that really is all about us, and therefore end up liking it better. We go to dinner and give each other gifts we actually want, like books or CDs or DVDs or something.

Heck, this year, instead of giving gifts, we just agreed to allow ourselves to spend extra money at the New York Comic Con (for me) and a scrapbooking supply party (for her). The perfect gifts! ^_^

My wife’s birthday falls a few days before VD, and we both despise the commercial aspects of many holidays, so we long ago agreed not to celebrate VD: no cards, no chocolate, no dinner, no flowers, no jewelry. What we do instead is each pick a totally random day throughout the year (not a birthday, not anniversary, etc.) and do something unexpectedly nice and/or romantic for each other. So we get two days, not one, and we get them on our own terms, not Madison Avenue’s.

Thank God Jane and I aren’t the only ones who sit and laugh at jewelry commercials…

Happy Valentines Day!

My wife and I have similar plans. My mother is going to watch our kids for a few hours and we are going to either go see Music and Lyrics or just stay home and enjoy the quiet.

What? Diamonds don’t make girls love you?! Another theory goes out the window. You really can’t trust TV, can you?

But seriously, no bitterness here. I hope you and your husband have a great Valentines Day. :)
