Happy VD day to you,too Twink!

Happy V D to you too Twink! I arrived home from work expecting to cook dinner for him and he is cooking italian for me!

Happy V-Day!

My DH treats me like a princess everyday, so I can't imagine anything more on Valentine's Day. Today, he did tell me to rest while he cleaned up the kitchen and folded the laundry. He also went to the grocery store and made dinner tonight. But that"s not unusual really. He shows me how much he loves me every day, much more than any amount of flowers or candy ever could.

Another Happy Valentines' Day greeting here.

Wish every day could be a day to celebrate love and kindness.

Just another excuse to buy myself some chocolates. I wait until the day after to get them half off. Shame on me.

This little piggy wears its heart on its hind

LONDON (Reuters) - A heart-shaped black mark on one little piggy could just save it from being sent to market this Valentine's Day.



The Gloucester Old Spot breed normally have a smattering of black splodges on their pink bodies, but a piglet born on a farm in Gloucestershire has a perfectly formed heart shape on her hind quarters. Born just before February 14th, the piglet has predictably been named Valentine by farmer Eric Freeman, who says love must have been in the air when Valentine's mother conceived.

I got a ScoobyDoo VD card from thecatsmeow today! Thanks Joyce!

Glad everyone had a happy day. And yes, you're right Twizzler: we should show our love for each other every day ... but I still like to get flowers. Makes me feel spayshul!

An aside: I was getting a pedicure last night when there was a knock at the door. Steve, my Vietnamese nail tech, answered it, but here was no one there. He called out to some giggling girls who told him to look on his porch. They had left a cute plate of goodies and signed their names on a card.

Steve was absolutely mystified. Why hadn't they stayed? Why had they run away? He wasn't really sure who they were, even though I read him the names (he can speak English, but doesn't read it).

It is a peculiar tradition, and I couldn't help but laugh when I tried to explain it to him.

Steve had already explained a Vietnamese tradition to me just before the knock. He wants to go home and see his extended family, but can't afford it. No, it's not the plane ticket to Vietnam --he could afford that. But you don't just show up from USA without bearing gifts for everyone! And "everyone" includes not just your family, but your girlfriend and her whole family. It would cost him about $5,000 in gifts alone just to visit!
