Valentine's Day Quick Takes

1. Mother Nature is a tease. Yes. It was 33 yesterday. Maybe even 34. That is above freezing people. And it was sunny. And the snow did start a melting. But my glory was short lived when I awoke to snow. More snow. And cold. Snowy and cold. I'm willing to bet the Pagans dancing naked in Spring weren't crazy they were just relieved the Winter was over.

2. Happy St. Valentine's Day! I know a lot of people are all "we don't need material things to show love" and "corporate Holiday" and all that. But I don't subscribe to that philosophy and I enjoy even the small gift giving holidays.

3. C got 2 new Elephant and Piggie books for his collection:

He is excited by this and in the hour since receiving them we have read each 3 times and the other Elephant and Piggie books once. It's an Elephant and Piggie kind of day up in here.

4. Husband got a desperately needed pair of tennis shoes, which is not entirely selfless because I may strongly dislike the pair he has taken to now. (A pair that is in goodish condition but are ugly to the ugliest power.) But since Husband's life revolved around 4 pairs of shoes: black dress shoes, brown dress shoes, tennis shoes and a casual summer shoe it really is okay to throw a new pair in the mix selfish or not.

5. We are having a party tonight, the details of which I have not hammered out. It may involve cookie decorating but we'll see. The guest list is in fact figured out so I suppose that is something.

6. I am being summoned to read some new books over again so I should probably go.

7. Link up with Jen will ya?
