I actually agree with this but there are some who need to 'recieve' I try to make that happen. I don't wait for 'one day' thus my overly long day because we did things throughout the week. We usually do these things anyway.


Money's easy come easy go around here.
I gave my mom a heart shaped box with what appeared to be candy were really candles.

I have the older lady I work with a single rose. She is near retirement and her knees are weak. I guess I wanted her to feel 'loved' because she is.


I had to work yesterday so a few days ago I went over to my partners house and played a conversation card game while he was still in bed. HE didn't seem to mind so much I woke him up. I brought him a card and some 'love' lottery tickets to hand out to people he meets throughout the week. It was kind of a ' playing cupid thing' I also gave him a 'spin the bottle' pin so if he was feeling lucky some one might want to give it a spin while he was wearing it. These were just fun silly things.

Monday we went out to lunch. I had both jobs off so it was a doubly beautiful day for that. It was sunny so we took a drive to a small town and stopped at an antique mall and a used book store. I bought myself a bronze crane and two new books to read. Oh, before all that he presented me with a snow globe heart and two cupcakes from starbucks.


Last night after work I called him over for banana splits. Then he almost talked my son and I into going to see the Vagina Monolouges
but it was a school night. The 10:00 showing would just be too long since it ran for 90 min so we just opted for buying it on DVD one day.
After banana spilts he took my son and I to this small german cafe which sells cake slices. These slices are more cake than two people can eat. It is a very famous little place and all the college kids were in there on their valentine dates. We felt like toads among the flowers. Anyway. I had the best strawberry lemonade I'd ever had. That's it!

oh and my Canada friend sent me a valentine. I only sent him an ecard. I feel bad about that.

Hi Pooka! Welcome to the Cellar. I've seen your movie and you are awesome.

And yes, celebrate love every day; we are all lucky to have people who love us.

I thought I'd surprise my boyfriend by traveling to his house earlier than expected (half an hour before he'd come home from work) so I could do some groceries and surprise him with a lovely dinner.

Unfortunately, my train had a 20-minute delay. I rushed to the supermarket, rushed back home, but then I saw that the train had just arrived and the boyfriend was walking further down the street. I wouldn't be able to catch up with him, so I called him and 'chatted' a bit with him about how his day was - that gave me enough time to reach his front door and make sure he had gone inside. Then I went ahead and casually asked him, "do me a favour will you? Open the door."

The surprise was slightly ruined by the public transport, but luckily he was still surprised to find me at his door. Dinner was lovely, and the sex was great.

We don't want you to describe the dinner in detail.

So I was in Finland. They celebrate ystävänpäivä, friends-day. So you send cards to your friends and family. My friend's sister came home with a paper heart on which her friends all signed. I got a present from my friend's mother (a cork with a heart on top). And from my girlfriend a mind teaser shaped as a heart.
When she was back from work we went skiing. When we were back her mother had already cooked but forgotten to head up the sauna. So we ate at her's with her sister and mother turning around (not very romantic). Afterwards to the sauna, on my own (not very romatic too, but we are not yet that close). Finally we went out (she just came and asked : "Are you too tired or shall we go to some place?") So we went to the town in a superb club and danced all night. Was wonderful

You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go by Dylan........ seeing as how Dylan can't sing (and is still better than me)

Bah. I love Dylan's voice. And that song makes me go weak at the knees.....but not as much as 'Sarah', or 'One more cup of Coffee'.

A little belated Valentine's something for all you tolkien-types

We did the day-before-Valentine's day thing again, and took a train up to NYC. Part business, though--spent the afternoon at a vendor's office in Brooklyn (great people!), then went back to Manhattan. Did a nice walking tour, starting at Canal St., and zig-zagged over to the West Village with some interesting stops on the way. A fabulous mini-vacation, I must say.
