My Funny Valentine

Two things drove my design of this year's Valentine for Jeff:

1) In all the years I've known Jeff, any time I've used the phrase "there are a lot of fish in the sea," he says, "No other fishes!" (Let us note, I've never said it to him, just in conversation with or about other people.)

2)  He loves goldfish crackers, particularly the Flavor Blasted cheese ones.

I got his fave goldfish crackers and repackaged them in a transparent cellophane bag. Then I made a cute graphic tag that said, "There are a lot of fish in the sea, but you're the only one for me!"

I showed it to Lauren. We both groaned over the cuteness. Then I mentioned, "They're those super-cheesy goldfish."

She said, "Super-cheesy. Like this gift."

Heh.

J and I hardly ever do our big romantic dinner out on Valentine's Day, so tonight is it! Happy V-day to anyone else who postponed to the weekend!


Saturday 9: Pour Some Sugar on Me

1) Do you have a favorite "hair metal band?"
Not really. I'm not into hair metal, in general. I do like several Aerosmith songs though.

2) Def Leppard got their start in South Yorkshire, England. Have you ever been to the UK?
I've been to London and Brighton.

3) Who would you rather chat with, one-on-one: Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Prince William or Prince Harry?
Prince William

4) Do you use real sugar or a sugar substitute?
I use both, but typically Equal.

5) Valentine's Day is big for candy sales. Did you indulge in any Valentine-themed, sugary treats this week?
Yes. Jeff gave me chocolates.

6) Do you regularly balance your checkbook?
Nah. I rarely write checks.

7) What was your last impulse purchase?
cool lipstick

8) When Sam was a girl, she had nightmares about snakes under her bed. When did you last have a bad dream?
Hmm. I can't remember my last bad dream. That's a good thing!

9) We're ordering pizza. Do you want deep dish or thin crust?
I love deep dish, but I usually get thin crust to cut out a lot of the calories.
