We (well, alright just me) refer to last year's Valentine's Day as the Valentine's Day Massacre of 07. Neither of us have ever been a huge fan of V-day so last year we decided to just do something very small. At least I thought that was the plan. Greg interpreted "something small" as meaning "nothing at all." Leading up to V-day he assured me that he did have some plans and that I wasn't too worry. I trusted him. Well, he did have something planned. That something? To give me a footrub. Whoa. Not awesome. He really is such a good husband but I have to admit . . . I was less than impressed. Because of this "massacre," leading up to this year's V-day I have been forced to have a lot of long talks with Ross to try and coach him about what makes a good V-day. It looks like these long talks are slowly sinking in. I came home from work tonight to find this "invitation" on the kitchen table. I don't know what he has planned for V-day but already this poster was much more effort than the "footrub."*Don't worry I am not leaving it all up to Ross - I am doing Valentine's week or "the week of love" (I know that title kind of makes me throw up in my mouth a little but it is funny). So far - a new tie for Sunday and tonight - some "Aquaphor" for his dry lips. That's right - I am going all out.

You guys sounds highly, highly romantic! If I could I would dot my "i"s with hearts.
Nice, Ross, nice. I am a big fan of the posterboard and candy invitations. It sounds like y'all are headed for one heck of a Valentine's Day. (and it's a good thing, too -- A marriage can survive one holiday massacre, but two?)
Let's face it - I think I have Ross quaking in his boots after all my talk of the Valentine's Massacre of 07. I am expecting a JLo Diamond of some sort . . . at the very least.
Oooh. And I hope he gets it from Jared's. Then you can make all your friend's envious, which as we all know, is the real purpose for jewelry.
Oh, Abby, no...not Jared's. Everybody knows that "every kiss begins with Kay". Kay Jewelers is the only way to go. Or something from the Piercing Pagoda because nothing says "I love you" more than a lovely gift from a fine jewelry stand in the mall hallway.
PS- I don't know what Kitty is complaining about. A fot rub is very romantic. Maybe Ross should just take you to see that lame movie that makes you get all romantical right in the theater and make Ross uncomfortable.
I HATE and I mean HATE both the Jared's commericials and the Kay Jeweler commercials. I've already told Ryan that we just cannot support those stores in any way shape or form. So Ross, that goes for you too!
Lindy, what makes you think you are too good to shop at Jared's or Kay's? At least tell me you like the Piercing Pagoda.
Do you have Watson's Pools and Spas in Austin? They have some annoying commercials with a woman who dresses in a not-so-modest way to sell hot tubs.
I hate the Jared's commercials too! (I'm not sure why but I find myself indifferent to the Kay ones -- maybe it's because the song speaks an irrefutable truth: kiss does, in fact, begin with "k".)
Todd, we don't have the pools and spa company you talked about but we do have an auto-parts store here named Pull-a-Part whose billboards sport 1940s-style drawings of extremely voluptuous women practically pouring out of their form-fitting yellow jumpsuits. 100% awesome -- and by awesome, I mean inappropriate.
Before you judge me for being snooty, I believe I actually had an ear piercing done at the pagoda in high school.
I also hate Time Warner Cable commericials. I ALMOST hate them enough to pay more money for another service provider.
Kitty, what's going on with Valentine's week? You told us what you got Ross on Sunday and Monday, but here it is Wednesday evening and we are two days behind on your gift reporting. What the freak is your problem?
Oh Todd - i didn't want to spoil the surprise. But who are we kidding . . . Ross gets tired of our comments. Yesterday I gave him some church music (like I said - all out) and the rest is still kind of up in the air. Whatever I see at Jewel on my way home - I'm going to give him.
You guys crack me up! I'm with you, Valentines Day is for the birds. Oh well, I hope you have a good day.
Oh, Kitty, I hope you are Schruting VD this time like Ross did last year.
