it's february... the month of L-O-V-E. a month decorated with red and pink, tons of hearts, cupids, chocolate, and uber-displays of love and affection.
i think it's great, but i also think it puts A LOT of pressure on people...especially the boys who are smitten with a new kitten and want to impress. today an old co-worker of mine reviewed his valentine's day plans with me to see if, as a lady, i would give it a thumbs up.
here goes....
before his fancy dinner reservations he's going to go to his valentime's house with champagne & presents. in the first box, there is going to be a stuffed giraffe (an inside joke). in the second box, a COACH purse. and then, he's going to tell her to look inside the purse where tucked neatly inside the side pocket will be two orchestra seat tickets to the phantom of the opera. then if things go right she will "thank him" appropriately before they head off to dinner.
...WOW, right? needless to say, i told him he was on the right track. then i smiled happily to myself because although perfect for him & his girl, i opt for a more simple version of love. keith and i have a valentime's tradition of a fresh dungenous crab dinner complete with butter, crusty bread, and champagne... at home.
no presents.
just goodness.
