February 14th, 2010 - Today is Valentines's Day and folks everywhere are doing special things to show their sweethearts how much they love them. I too, have a sweetheart, well actually a couple and two of them spent the night last night. My sweethearts are my grandchildren and they love me no matter what. They also keep me young by having boundless energy and expecting me to keep up with them. But, that aside let's talk about Valentine's Day.
Today is the day where folks young and old profess their love to their significant others. Hearts are set on fire and if you are single like me, well, suffice it to say, this day can't pass soon enough. Did you know that more proposals are made on Valentine's day than any other day of the year. Let's face it folks, it is grand to be in love. So here are a couple of tips to guide you through this day. 1) No matter how many times she/he says, "no need to do anything for me honey, just knowing you are here is enough for me", she/he is lieing. What she/he really means is don't do anything special for me short of booking an exotic get away weekend, skywriting I love you in the sky, renting out her/his favorite restaurant, or promising to be slave for a day, after you have given her/him that diamond necklace/golf clubs they have been wanting. 2.) In the event you tripped up and believed her/him and didn't do anything, well you are in deep doo-doo. All you can do is lie. That's right lie and tell her/him that it wasn't quite ready so you had to wait til Monday to pick it up. She/he won't believe you, but the curiousity of the gift will outweigh their anger. I mean, they then know the gift will be even better than it would have been had they gotten it on time. 3) Never give your sweetheart a certificate to a gym on this day, NEVER. Not the best way to tell someone you love them, while saying, "by the way, can you get in shape". 4) If she/he cooks for you, say you love it and don't ask, "what is it"? Not unless you want to wear it. Just smile, chew, swallow and take a drink to wash it down. Repeat until gone. And 5) and most important, If you are a male and she cooks, do the dishes. If you are female and a game is on, let him watch it. If you want to stay together, clean yourself up, shave your legs if you are a female and your face if you are a male, don't believe them when they say, "I like when the hair on your legs is long, it is so European", or when she says, "Hair on your face makes you look manly", yeah Cave Manly. And take time to be reminded of why you fell in love in the first place.
As for me, besides my Grandkids, I got a 'ring the doorbell and run' surprise last night. When I opened the door, I was left with cookies, flowers and baloons. And a smile on my face that remains today. So whoever is my Valentine....Thanks so Much.
