Just in time for Valentine's Day..... (a classic)

Tuesday, February 06, 2007

Getting close to Valentine's Day (only 8 more days - but who's counting)...
So What do I want for Valentine's Day (my sweetie asked me) - Well... Flowers of course & diamonds & pampering & the works (just.... Kidding) I dont want all that - BUT I am BIG on flowers. I remember going to New York one year for Valentine's Day - We stayed in a nice hotel, eat out at some nice resturants, went shopping, received a nice Tiffany's bracelet, ect. ect. - BUT two VERY important things were missing:
The Card
and the (2) dozen roses (LOL) - okay....okay... 1 dozen
Roses arent mandatory - I did receive VERY lovely lilies last year and I nearly wanted to shed a tear to show how grateful and creative I thought it was...
Anyways... Fellas - DO NOT
for Pete's sake - forget the CARD or FLOWER(s) - I dont care if you get ONE single rose - you better pick one up from off the street or 7-eleven!
Let me fill you in on something you obviously dont care about.
When your woman (wife, girlfriend, fiance', lover, ect.) goes to work she is bragging about you and she has to hear about what her co-workers or girlfriends received from their men - So please dont embarrass her - By the end of the day (Please dont forget that Valentine's Day is Wednesday) - If your woman has not received anything delivered via fed-ex, ups, 1-800-flowers or by another person - she has had to make an excuse FOR YOU: It goes a little something like this...
Oh, he hasnt told me what we are doing - I think he is really trying to surprise me (Lie)
We are doing something over the weekend (another Lie)
We are staying in and having a romantic evening he planned (half Lie - It wont be "romantic" and he could care less - so actually its a Full Lie)
Now you wonder why you get dirty looks when you show up to a company picnic or office christmas party - They have been waiting to meet your trifflin azz

Wow - Here it is Feb. 13 - the actually date that I will be publishing this blog
Okay quick story before I press the infamous button - Publish Post

I met a man today, at CVS (local drug store) - picking out a card and candy for his wife of 35 years.
Now do we care that you picked up the candy and card from CVS -
NO
In this instance it is truly the thought that counts (hopefully you arent thinking little is better in this instance).
He married is wife when he was 21 and he said with all the ups and downs - he doesnt cease to give this woman a Valentine's Day gift (or treat her like a lady)
Now that's old school
All you new-schoolers - who barely make it in a relationship that last 35 weeks (by the way its 52 weeks in a year) - you could learn a thing or two from this man.

I have a friend - who claims that if the woman cant cook, she will be scratched off the list... Fortunately for me we never dated, because I cook - but I act like I dont (ask my boyfriend). When he found out that I knew how to cook - he was SHOCKED - I really had him going. (It took him almost 6 months to find out)
Good thing for me, because I dont want any obligations to play Mommie, Wife-y or Slave...

Last point here and then Im gonna go - This one is for the Ladies
The man I met said that men are moved by us - This statement came after I asked him what would be a good Valentine's Day gift for a man and he said that its just Us . Now this is old school again - so if you are guy reading this and you disagree - come back and talk to me when you get at least 35 years of marriage/committed relationship under your belt.

More I See You

The more I see you,
The more I want you.
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows.
With every sigh I become more mad about you,
More lost without you,
And so it goes.
Can you imagine
How much I'll love you
The more I see you
As years go by?
I know the only one for me can only be you.
My arms won't free you;
My heart won't try.
Nina Simone (1945)
