and on and on
Valentine's Day, shmalentine's day. I will be out of town this weekend - but just as well since Paul and I don't particularly celebrate this holiday as a regular part of our calendar. Believe me - there's plenty of love that goes around the rest of the year, especially on our birthday. But for whatever reason, we just don't get all "lovey dovey" about Feb 14. Could be that it's just our rebellious nature. Could be that we find plenty of other times all year long to say "I love you" and "There's no one I'd rather be with than you" or whatever.
Blech, though. The only thing I've ever really loved about cupid's day is people tend to be nicer to you in public.
Or whatever. What I'd like to see are more holidays like "Spontaneous Day Off From Work Day" or the ever-popular "Celebrate Your Favorite Dinosaur Day." Or how about "Day of Redundant Things Day" or "Blue and Orange Day." This last one would be Paulie's favorite holiday as most of his favorite sports teams are blue and orange.
But I digress. If you feel the need to spend all kinds of cash to get your freak on this weekend, have fun. Just save some dark chocolate for me, will ya?

I'm totally down for a Spontaneous Day Off From Work Day! Especially if it involves reinacting "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
Mojan--I'm with you. All over that.

I'm *so* down with the Day Off From Work Day. But what about people in school, like my hardworking husband? Hm. Maybe we should designate the first day of summer as National Play Hooky Day. It seems wrong to be indoors on the first day of summer, doesn't it?

I'm familiar with the "why can't every day be Valentines Day/Christmas/Halloween?" argument... Okay, nobody ever asked why every day can't be Halloween. But I like getting surprise roses on a day that I'm unbathed, lying in bed nursing my 4-week old baby. I wasn't expecting it, but it was sure nice!

I second the notion of blue and orange day. Pretty much all my favorite teams sport the blue and orange. My college colors were blue and orange. My Knicks and my Mets wear blue and orange. I certainly own enough of it myself, and I'm all for team pride..heh
