1. Happy Birthday to my sister Debbie!
Enjoy your birthday blueberry pancakes!
Love you sis!
2. I have triumphed over Valentines Day! Or Single Awareness Day as I used to call it- because really let's be honest, it's mainly a marketing day for florists, candy companies and jewelry stores. While I sound cynical, let me specifically say: Yes, I love the dinner my husband makes me, cards and all that goodness, (he's a great cook) and is so good to me that I don't want to make light of that in any way.
But my triumph is really over the fact that for the third year in a row- I AM NOT A FLORIST!
- I don't work at a flower shop anymore, my fingernails are not a algae-reminiscent green, and I didn't have to work until all hours of the night arranging, wrapping and selling over-priced roses!
- I don't have to give relationship advice to strange men wanting to know "what do I put on the card so she'll... ya know..." ---"NO, I don't know" is my answer.
- And I won't get yelled at because the roses aren't the exact Sterling roses from the movie "Bed of Roses" that are her favorite! (Can you tell I have some floral baggage?)
Anyway, this truly is a day for celebration! So Happy Valentines Day to you!

Happy Valentines day to you! Just curious..How would you feel if Jeff bought you flowers on Valentines Day? Also, what is your favorite flower?
Hallelujah!!! I can sympathize because I've been there and I still wonder why you put up with it for so long.
Yeah...back at you. Still "Single Awareness Day" for me. But it was a great reason to break my lent and eat chocolate. Hi Rachael...from Robin.
I so wanted to walk into the nearest flower shop and laugh loudly and hysterically, then turn and walk out singing "Freedom!" at the top of my lungs. But then I thought, "Wait, I might be working here for extra cash on Mother's Day..."
