A love letter...

Dear Hubby,

While you were gone, I cleaned the fridge. I spent about 4 hours dismanteling and scrubbing every piece.

Doesn't it look lovely?


One minor problem. I can't figure out where these pieces go...


Can we expediate our plans to get a new fridge?

Much Love!

Wifey

Question for readers: Have you ever disassembled something and found a few extra pieces? What would you do? Please answer the multiple choice question below:

a. Run away with Johny Depp.
b. Run away with Uma T.
c. Throw away the pieces discreetly and pretend they never existed.
d. Take a nap.
e. Something else that you feel compelled to write a 500 word essay about.


Please be honest!!! No one is reading my blog. No one will know.This  I promise you.

Valentine Day Plans


So what do you plan to do on Valentine's day? Anything exciting?

I am one of those people who think that Valentine's day is a Hallmark created event. So I don't really celebrate it. I am just cynical and jaded. But don't let me rain on your parade.

What are you up to this Saturday?

So what if you are single. Are you planning on having a fabulous meal? Cooking? Some chocolates or extra treats?

I think I am going to cook some yummy food. Maybe lobster or crab. I've always wanted to make like a 5 course dinner. So I may try that. And definitely some pink champagne. Who cares if it is nasty?

Years ago, when I was sweet and innocent, my hubby and I had a tradition of having a Valentine's day lunch. This is way back when we could hardly afford to eat outside. We had Andre's Pink Champagne (3 dollars) and a subway sandwich (6 dollars). I would pack everything in a picnic box and we would go to a park and have a little picnic.

Over the years, we stopped doing that. I started working and could not do champagne lunches. Times changed and things changed. We changed.

Over the years I decided that I no longer wanted flowers, did not eat chocolates and did not want presents for Valentine's day.

Why celebrate love one day per calendar year? Why not everyday?

This is a difficult time for my hubby. Every year he never knows what I want or expect. Wanting and expecting are two entirely different things. I may not want flowers but I may be expecting them.

See how confusing I am?

So this year, I am going to make it easy for him. I am going to cook something for us. A nice, special dinner. I don't want to go out for dinner.

Does anyone have any ideas what I can cook?

Any web sites you can recommend for recipes?

I'd love to hear from you! I need serious help!
