Or not.
Meh.
I am usually so meh about this ‘holiday’. MPS, not known for his romantic skillz, usually forgets. Even when he was reading the freaking ads and doing outside broadcasts at flower shops.
‘Sorry honey, I forgot’
Yeah, whatever.
So this morning I needed heart massage was pleasantly surprised when MPS presented me with a latte in bed. Complete with heart design.
Good thing I was in bed. Cause the fall would have hurt.
Then as he was walking out the door he called out:
‘I bought you a gift! It is on the kitchen bench. I didn’t have time to wrap it’
Apparently he wanted to get me this:
(smootches River for the inspiration!) Chocolate shoes!!!!!
But they ran out.
So he got me the next best thing.
Yeah. Ta. Thanks for replacing it, seeing you fucked up the last one.
But at least he bought me a card.
And signed it.
So now that I am feeling the love, what better day than to resurrect the <3 awards!
My lovely Meg fixed this up for my new blog. See the updated blog addy? Smootches for my lovely Meg. So anyone that already has been honoured with a <3 bling feel free to update it to the new one. Or have both. Whatever.
OK, before my PA *snigger* and I start flinging the bling, a note. I had quite a few emails from people that received this bling confused about what it means. Apparently some idiots bloggers thought it meant that the blog was less than good. WTF? OK, this is what it means.
When my daughters and I want to express our mutual admiration in public we say ‘Less than Three’. If you look at it sideways:
<3
It looks like a heart. So I heart you.
So please, when you pass this on, link back to this post, or this one which was the first fling of the bling.
Last time I awarded 28 people. Cause 28 is Boo’s favourite number. Which is a pain in the arse when he decides he wants 28 chicken nuggets, but fabulous when he wants 28 kisses.
28 drinks of water comes under the pain in the arse banner too.
The previous recipients were:
Veronica, Meg, Kim, Madmad, Lightening, Robin, Maddy, Ree, Fab, Contrary, Cellobella, Riayn, Bettina, Erin!, Lisa, VE, Stimey, Whymommy, Mystarbucks, Stella, Girl, Tiffany, Vic Jodi, Missy, Gina, kin, alyndabear, Babychaos
If you have moved your blog since then let me know and I will update it. Feel free to fling the bling again!
So with no further verbal diahorrea ado I award, in no particular order:
River – she doesn’t have a blog, but she told me about the chocolate shoes and read everything in my archives and commented!
Slouching Mom (yeah I know I gave her something the other day, shuddup, I pink puffy heart her)
and
OK, go forth and spread the love.
And finally. What are your thoughts on Valentines Day? Day for lovers, commercial crap thrust upon us by big business, a sad day for bees, needing a bit more oomph like a fat bloke in a red suit, or my usual expression for the day, Meh?

Commercial crap. I’ve never been a fan of VD (what an appropriate acronym), even when I’ve been madly in love. Give me presents any other day, just because you want to. Although it’s great for a night out with the girls because there are events like Breakfast At Tiffany’s playing in the Botanic Garden and such.
Besides, I hate teddy bears and (I know this might ruin our burgeoning friendship) I don’t like chocolate.
Meh. I just like to be the one to say to Groover first “Happy Valentine’s Day” – because of course then I win.
But that’s all that happens on VD for me.
Have you noticed that Valentine’s Day has the same initials as Venereal Disease?
Valentine’s Day? For those who haven’t been together long enough to have a proper anniversary – and the opportunity to milk $15 bucks for ONE long stemmed rose, of course…
Thanks for the lurve
I was nearly going to email you the other day to ask when you might be going to update that. teehee.
VD – a non event in this house. We might do a card or something, but honestly…………. I’d rather random small gifts at other occasions because he wants to, not feels he has to.
I was quite amused to hear my DD11 tell me about how the boys in her class had bought their g/fs presents. *rolls eyes* What 11 or 12 year old boy needs to buy his g/f a card, teddy bear and flowers ffs?? I hope their parents made them work for the money they wasted and didn’t buy that shit for them.
oh, forgot, come join our comment luv fest at anja’s blog in her absence! lmao
I’m sure when I was younger, and sans child/ren, I thought a great deal about Valentine’s Day.
Now, definitely a non-event. Other than a “Happy Valentines Day” and “Will you be mine?” and “I get a blow job tonight, right?”
Happy Valentine’s Day! I got breakfast in bed. NOT!
http://mystarbucks.wordpress.com/2008/02/14/happy-valentines-day-i-made-you-breakfast-in-bed/
I less than 3 you and more than 4 you.
(math is HARD)
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Valentines Day…
Did you know Hallmark is only one letter from “Hell mark”? Coincidence?
Oh i just love the bling, thank you so much!!
A happy Valentines day to you today and everyday!
Oh bless – what lovely pressies.
Love the card, btw. Classic male!
Happy VD. (Heh, heh) It’s a made up, too commercial day that, unfortunately, has the right idea to start with. It’s just that the implementation sucks. And BTW, it’s a good thing he didn’t get you the chocolate shoes ’cause they would have fucked up that grill.
He bought tickets to Crusty Demons for himself and the 10y.o.

I got a peaceful nights sleep……….. bliss!!!
that’s almost the nicest valentine ever!
(the nicest was the year my husband bought me an ipod – in their first year – and woke me up at like 2 am because he was so excited about how excited i was going to be).
and chocolate shoes? those are to die for.
It gets a “meh” from me.
I’m going with Meh-commercial crap.
don’tcha just LUUURVE those shoes? If I ever win millions of dollars I’m going to have them copied as real shoes. But since I don’t wear high heels I’d have to send them all to you……..
Wouldn’t it be cool to fill each choccie shoe with champagne, drink it, then eat the shoe. Or ice-cream, no wait, chocolate mousse…..oh dear god! the possibilities…….
VD day is a mixed bag. I have a soft spot for it because i KNOW the sweet 15 year old was concieved on it, but Hate the fact that it comes and goes with out much Tada…But thats life.
Least you got a card, and a Latte. I had to drive the youngest to school because she was carrying cupcakes….
Commercial crap! That’s why luscious husband waited until today, 15th to buy me a smashing bunch of tulips.
Weheeee!
Cheers
BC
There was a mad panic at work today to get all the card displays changed from Valentines Day to Mother’s Day cards. What fun…
Don’t love valentine’s that’s for sure.
Want those shoes, big time.
Cerebral Mum: Just means more chocolate for me!
Cellobella: And it is all about the winning isn’t it!
Meg: Your welcome my lovely.
Bettina: If I waited for MPS to buy me something ‘just because’ I would never get anything! My birthday is coming up wonder if he can top the cordless mouse that HE wanted for Christmas and the GF grill that he broke and replaced. Windshield wipers perhaps?
Ree: again our lives are parallel.
MyStarbucks: *snort*
Contrary: Yes it is. Yes it is….
VE: Methinks not.
Casdok: You are welcome my lovely.
Alyndabear: Do you think he forgot my name? Or his own?
Iceel: Or melted on my feet.
Angel: A true romantic.
Bettina: Oh bliss is true!!!
Magpie: An ipod! Ooooh, I wants me one of those. Everyone else in the house has one. But then again I do have the bright and shiny MacBook. And I love her.
Jayne: Meh is such a wonderfully descriptive word.
River: now I am drooling….
Sorrow is back!!! Yay for Sorrow! Um, hang on that didn’t come out right…..
BC: Tulips are my favourite. I pink puffy heart tulips. Damn, might have to go and buy myself some.
Solomon: You are freaking kidding me!?!?! Already? Sheesh. I have been resisting the urge to buy hot crossed buns since they came out in DECEMBER!
Girl: Smootches babe.
Valentine’s Day. I always hated it, but now that I have little ones I can’t get enough of the red paper hearts. I’m sure that when they get bigger and start exchanging them with (gasp!) girls I’ll start to hate it again, though.
Thanks for the bling!
I’m thinging Meh. why do people need a special day to give gifts as a sign of affection?
