BAH HUMBUG. How long before HALLOWEEN?
...what I did do was got up early this morning, cleaned literally 1 inch of ice off the car, cleared the driveway of snow and ice, drove her to work on the worst roads imaginable just so she would get to there safely. I would do that whether it was v-day or not.
Well, I had wanted to get the wife a nice piece of jewelry for Christmas since I had not gotten her anything nice since we were married. The boss and I were talking yesterday and I told him I was going to buy some Godiva chocolates. So after work we went to the mall and visited Zales, I got her this really swanky "Journey" pendant. The salesperson said it is meant to symbolize your time together, and how your love has grown and stuff. Almost brought me to tears.....HA! Diamonds and Godiva Chocolate.....I should be in like Flynn yo.
I'm reminded of a Ron White routine (I'll see if I can remember it all). It goes something like this...I recently saw something that showed me there might be truth in advertising after all. The DeBeers people used to use this slogan, "Diamonds Are Forever". The next year they said, "Diamonds....Take Her Breath Away". The following year they said, "Diamonds...Render Her Speechless". Sh*t, why don't the just say it,"Diamonds ...That'll Shut Her Up.............for a minute".Thank You, Thank You. I'll be signing autographs at the door.Schro
Well, I went to the flower shop the other day and told them I needed to order something for my wife. The girl behind the counter said, "we can do any arrangements, what feelings would you like your gift to express?". I told her I'd like something that really says, "I didn't forget it was Valentines Day, so I bought you this just to fulfill my obligation as your husband, God knows you didn't do anything to deserve it."I thought the kid was going to pass out!
Happy Valentines Day to those that celebrate it with a significant other. To us that remain single, we're better off alone than with bad company!Ever notice when/if you receive a gift from your wife/girl friend it revolves around work (That new tie or tool set), yet when we give gifts it revolves around making them feel good/prettier (Chocolates, jewelery)?

I'd rather have tools then chocolate anyways.I believe this is the first year my wife forgot. I left her scented candle and card on her car seat when I left this morning, she was surprised and called me, said she didn't even remember a card. Usually its me that doesn't remember..
Ok, so I know this isn't nearly as romantic as Valentines Day... it doesn't involve expensive jewelry, or candy, or cards or flowers or any of that stuff... But I get the feeling you guy'll get a kick out of this... it's a new holiday... let's all look forward to celebrating...http://www.steakandbjday.com/only 30 days left P.S.This is my 50th post.... I feel like such a slacker.
