Valentines Day question

[Capt Jack]

ok...guess I'll add my dos centavos.

V-Day.
V-day was always taboo to us. Mostly due to a loooong track record of horrors and cluster-f's over time that made us both deathly afraid of it. mega-jinx I think would be a good word for it.

Pretty much any and every time we'd attempt to schedule or get/create/do ANYTHING at all for V-day, it would end up in some horrendous fight or at best, with us not speaking to each other for days.

It got to the point where neither of us would actually say the V-word out loud to each other. For the last decade (alot more actually) on that day we would awake, get dressed, wish each other a good morning and avoid each other like the plague until the horror had passed. No cards, no flowers....no acknowledgement of the day at all (not even eye contact if you could at all avoid it)....lest ye call down the wrath of the gods.

So, my general opinion...

RUN! HIDE! DUCK AND COVER! ITS COMING!!!!!!!!

(but thats just one reporters opinion)

I find that strangely romantic.

Whenever I hear someone say V-Day I think Vagina Day. When someone says VD, I think venereal disease. I guess I'm weird.

I always really really want to go build a bear. It is so muchy fun picking out the bear and stuffing it and getting it little outfits. But then you are left with this bear. What the heck am I going to do with a bear? Nothing, that's what. And I don't want my house looking like a little old lady lives here, so I'm not about to decorate with them.

I really really really want a pajama gram. If only Michael read this forum! Actually, there are probably a thousand things more useful that I could get than a pajama gram, so I will probably never drop that particular hint.

I would like a teddy bear if it were holding a dvd collection, or a new book, or diamond earrings.

Now see, my last addition did have a similar use, and he was proudly added to the collection at the head of my bed.
He joined my retro Mickey, and my Marie Snow White. (No, I do not share my bed with anyone. Dont worry about how the man feels about this)

And the build a bear thing? totally cool. My reccomendation? Dont get a 'bear' get something you either want to have around, or that serves a use. I have a reindeer... she likes to come out at Xmas time. (serves a use.. that was silly)

perhaps next time he'll dress up like a bear so he can be added to the collection.
