Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and that's all I've got to hear about the past week on my communte. Even Howard Stern is talking about Valentine's Day.  So sad, he's usually my go to guy when all else fails. The gas stations are full of tacky gifts, oversized cards, and jumbo candy bars.  I can't escape the madness!

I'm not a huge Valentine's Day celebrator.  Jewell and I usually just cook a nice dinner at home and he knows there are a certain few things never to buy me.  See below...

1) Teddy Bears - I'm not 8.  Buy me a massage instead.

2) Chocolate - It goes straight to my hips.  Please don't tempt me.  Shoes will work much better.  High heels make my legs look longer.

3) FLOWERS - they don't last, but I've got a better idea.  Take me on a trip to Hawaii.  There I can see all the fresh flowers my heart desires.

This year for Valentine's Day, I am leaving the significant other behind and headed to the mountains with one of my greatest friends, Sara, for my 1st attempt at snow skiing.  Terrifying!

This all started when Ryan and Jewell both decided they were leaving us for the weekend.  Sara's husband, Ryan, will be pursuing his second love, fishing. Jewell will be in St. Louis for Mardi Gras enjoying two of his favorite loves (use your imagination), and Sara and I will be in Breckenridge where we will celebrate many thing we love....

1) Friendship - sorry, had to get the cheesiness out of the way.

2) Hot chocolate (with his best friend)...peppermint schnapps

3) Relaxing by the fireplace - great for warming my cold little toes - speaking of toes...a pedicure may be celebrated also.

4) Hot tubs and champagne - I'm sure my muscles will need this after the 100's of falls I'm going to take

and last but not least...

5) Ski Bunny Fashion -  chances are I will spend most of the ride down the mountain on my butt and not my skis, but gosh darnet....I'll look good doing it.  So far, the best part of this week has been shopping for my ski outfit!

So, if any of you are thinking of getting me a gift to show your love...please see above list of do and don'ts
