Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. You did remember that, right? What’d you get your honeylamb? How are you showing your sweet that you love him or her? SO is getting a first edition of “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” and a pair of amythist earrings. Dinner and dancing if we don’t get the ice storm that is lurking on the horizon. ---

Like all good dorks, my husband is a huge Simpsons fan. So he got a Moe’s Tavern bowling shirt along with his subscription to Gourmet magazine. A geek that cooks. I scored, dude. He works on Vday night, but I’m popping over there to take him out for a drink or two when he gets done. ---

A card and a card game. Sounds cheap, but we’re saving for our trip to England in March, which is in honor of our tenth anniversary, so there! ---

I got him a plant for his office. It’s a pothos, or whatever those stupid hard-to-kill things are called, and it’s stapled to a board so that it grows up before it starts trailing. Also a pot to put it in. And a card. ---

A card, a box of chocolates, 2 pair of Looney Tunes Boxer shorts, and a car stereo. Yep, I know how to keep the hubby happy. ---

Mr. Winnie & I aren’t exchanging gifts. Just a nice dinner out at a fun little jazz place in Northern VA and we made each other mix cd’s. I know, very high school, but we really love music and decided against purchasing anything 🙂 ---

I can’t say at the moment… he’s a Doper, and even though he hasn’t been reading the Board much lately, I can’t take the chance that he reads it within the next 36 hours. So I’ll tell y’all when I’ve given it to him. (Though I can tell I’m getting the better end of the deal with this one. We’re talking he’s making me stay in the computer room with a glass of wine, a blindfold and good music while he gets things ready. It makes me feel cheesy… but he knows I’ll be VERY appreciative for whatever he does for me. ;)) ---

We’re treating tomorrow like any other Super Hero Movie Opening Day. Going out for dinner, maybe thai, maybe Subway, anywhere that won’t be packed. Then we’re going to see **Daredevil** cuz we’re both comic fans. Afterwards, we might hit up an after-show cast party my friend is throwing. ---

I haven’t gotten **jeremy evil** anything yet. I’ll send him multiple e-cards tomorrow from work, and pick up some roses on the way home. I can get away with this because I’m taking him out to an _ **expensive** _ restaurant - one we’ve been wanting to go to for quite a while. 🙂 ---

I am a bad girlfriend. I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day (won’t get into the numerous reasons), so I told my boyfriend from the start that I would NOT be getting him anything and I didn’t want him to get me anything. Now I’m feeling kind of bad that he won’t have something to open tomorrow (we’re long-distance). However, he is going to be here to visit me next week, so I told him that I would take him out to dinner to make up for me being a Valentine’s Day Scrooge. Ava ---
