Just kidding. Well, sort of. J. and I have never celebrated Valentine's Day. It pains my fiscally conservative upbringing to see someone spend $30 on a dozen roses, only to have them die in a week. And I've never felt the need to be given material things to know that I'm loved. I don't begrudge the holiday for other folks - it's just not my thing.
But that doesn't mean we didn't celebrate in some form or fashion. The evening started out with a trip to Sears Outlet for 2 more pieces of FREE clothing: a really nice black Levi's buttoned dress shirt and a package of Hanes undershirts for J. Then we were off to grab some free Redbox movies (use code HEART today only for a free rental). And, finally, dinner at Houlihan's where J. had received a FREE $15 entree coupon because his birthday is this week. The waiter screwed up our bill and ended up taking our drinks and my soup off, so we paid just $10 for dinner. Score!
So there you have it...I'm a cheap Valentine's date. But a night out with my sweetie? Priceless.
Oh, and a shout out to my buddy, Tom, who turned the big 4-OH today. Remember: growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional!
