In honor of Valentine’s Day 2014, Your Plans for Your Loved One

  1. Dinner and movie, maybe The Wolf of Wall Street. Dinner likely at Tomatina, Santa Clara.
  2. Pizza and the Olympics. When my tax check comes, I’m buying her art supplies.
  3. Some catnip in her kibble. =^.^=
  4. The usual, champagne and wild women.
  5. Nothing. After only 2 years together we decided never to go out on the 14th. We do it on the 16th.
  6. Open that special folder for Ms. Rosie Palm…
  7. An XOXO greeting card and a dozen red roses; maybe dinner out next week.
  8. Fancy burgers, TV, and a bouquet of kittens!
    (actually he gave me that–he knows it’s way better than flowers)
  9. He shovels, I salt. (Snow is a four letter word.)
  10. We saw Gravity in 3D.
  11. Dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant, then eating chocolate covered strawberries outside in the snow. Mmmmmmmmmmm…
  12. The usual: dinner, show, return home, make love, only complicated by having to avoid all of the paparazzi determined to see this much older mystery guy Joseph Gordon Levitt is dating now.
