No, not the old acronym for venereal disease, but for VALENTINE'S DAY instead. Anyhow, whether you're coupled, singled, poly-amorous, swingers, or those of you who just don't care about the holiday, I hope whatever you did was what you wanted to do. We did!!
Ours went kind of like this:
The Hubs bought me a card and chocolates.
I bought the hubs a card and [literally] the same box of chocolates.
We laughed. I had chicken for breakfast. He stole some of my chicken.
Bubble bath.
Bad TV and movies with sarcastic and mean commentary from both of us.
You know, because we're really rich fucking movie critics!!
We cracked each other up.
The dog had high hopes for popcorn.
Hilarious.
Then, The Hubs cooked New York strip steaks and jumbo prawns on the grill. We had a fresh baguette and a lovely little salad. Best of all?? No muss, no fuss, and I didn't have to make reservations or wait for a table or any of that other stuff.
I didn't really ask for anything for VD. As we've gotten older, it's been pretty much acknowledged that we *can* buy things that we want and not have to wait for a special day. Shouldn't most days be special in some way?? I'm currently looking for a Charles Bukowski stretched canvas to go over all of our bookshelves in the living room. He's one of my favorite authors, and The Hubs enjoys his stuff, too. Try "Notes of a Dirty Old Man" or "Ham on Rye". They are brilliant - and are so dysfunctional that they can't help but make you laugh.
So that was our day. Life is good and this year is turning out to be better than expected.
Oy vey!! If you had only had a glimpse of last year!!
Signing off,
Gulf J.
