Valentine's Day

OH goodie!! A totally made-up Holiday ... actually it's such a horrible holiday it doesn't even deserve to be capitalized.

Yes, I have a Valentine and yes, I still hate Valentine's Day.

That being said, and because the day is just so stupid, I thought:
Wouldn't it be nice to get each other a present???

So, we got each other something special.

All Mr. Nonmomjeans could talk about was how much he wanted a cast iron skillet. I'm pretty sure he even put that in his Match.com profile. We just don't seem to carry them here in Virginia, oddly enough. So in a magazine I was reading, it just so happened that an editor loved hers from Lodge Cast Iron Cookware and it comes preseasoned! Valentine's gift problem solved. Mr. Nonmomjeans also has delicate hands that are sensitive to heat so I thought it'd also be nice if I got him a handle protector for his precious phalanges.


I've never had a massage or a spa day. So I was pretty excited to see this:

Let's just say this overworked Momma is really looking forward to that little treat.

The icing on the cake was Lovie and Baby Sister's red roses and the sweet card they both signed.

The penmanship alone is enough to make any Mother proud.

But I still hate Valentine's Day.

I have so many things to say about this, I don't even know where to start!

a) thank you for that link to the cast iron skillet. My mom really needs one, and has been griping about it for years.

b) you have never had a massage or spa day, really?? I guess I know what I'm getting you for every gift forever after!

c) that card is so stinkin cute. I especially love how Lovie is better at spelling his sister's name than his own.

Happy stupid valentine's day (lowercase) I love you!!!

You are so sweet ...
a.) the cast iron skillet really is nice b/c you can use metal spatulas on it and not worry about getting cancer
b.) never. had a massage. i'm pretty excited ... lifting 20lb baby sister in her car seat in and out of the car takes a toll
c.) that card alone would've been a perfect gift.
i love you too and hope you had a good stupid valentine's day too!
