I GOT A CARD!

There may be an item on the news this evening about dangers posed to aeroplanes flying over the Midlands. I am beaming so hard you may be able to see it from space.

I'll make sure to keep an eye on the western horizon tonight.

I got an animated e-card. Knowing that my boyfriend is quite romantically challenged, I'm happy with it.

Monster was born & raised a Brit, she's moved to the States since.

Valentines Day in the UK is all about romantic love. We certainly didn't give out valentines at school - unless it was someone we fancied. In which case it was a private exchange and not sanctioned by the education authorities.

Work colleagues/ different gender friends sometimes send eachother valentines, but in general it is considered odd to send them to family members, especially children.

(I appreciate it is different in the US, just explaining what happens here)

Ahh. Thanks, didn't know that since her Location: is Michigan according to her info at left.

No wonder you are so excited about a card

oops, sorry -have changed that now. Yes, my attitude would be a little unusual for a Michigander.

I adopt the "when in Rome" philosophy for my kids -they have all made cards for their Valentine's parties at school (which will now be tomorrow or Friday as today's a snow day), but I'm too old a dog to be taught new tricks. It just feels "icky".

Trilby · 02-14-2007, 09:14 AM

I got a booty call. And a card. And a little something else that is very nice to have on snow day #2. All before noon!

Happy

day!

And, SG---how cool is that? You're not gonna tell us who it's from?

My sweetie scraped the ice off my car for me this morning.

I'm taking him out to lunch at Pod.

Sundae · 02-14-2007, 09:20 AM

My card isn't quite a romantic card, but it's definitely not like getting one from my Mum either.

From someone who cares & that's certainly enough to make me happy today.

Bri - do we have to guess what the 3rd thing is?! Did someone send a rescue dog to your house with brandy round its neck?

You know I love how your mind works, Sundae. It's close to a rescue dog with brandy round it's neck, but better.

I don't believe in this sentimental sh!t.

Phil · 02-14-2007, 02:09 PM

Sundae Girl, happy to hear your news

I shovelled the snow out of the drive so beest could get to work this morning -does that count as romantic?

All evening activities are cancelled tonight because of the snow.
I'm thinking beest and I could make the most of the free time and do our tax return and finalise our wills. Well it's a form of togetherness isn't it?

Death and taxes on Valentines day, I like the concept

BigV · 02-14-2007, 02:53 PM

Delivered pink tulips (her favorite), a lovely small card, "...you're more than I deserve...", and a sparkling beverage.

...

But it's still early.
