I'd forgotten all about in-school flowers and how completely awful they were.
I think that this has left residual V-Day dislike for me. You spend years with some little hope that something unexpected and extraordinary will happen and it never does.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No one got flowers in my HS.
I think I've only gotten flowers once in my life. A friend sent me some to my work place on my birthday. Except for the prom flower thingie, I've only given someone flowers once that I can remember.

NEW SHOES!!
There is a drip outside my window that is landing on my A/C unit. It is not keeping perfect time, but it is akin to torture. I think I will need to put on some music for the rest of the day.
Wow, I've pissed away 2 hours. I need to make a list and do some work.

Yay new shoes!
I'm not sure I understand, but I'm also not sure I want to raise all the memories - in-school flowers? What are those? Please don't answer unless you have a lovely "hit my friends' head with them" sort of answer or if it brings happy memories, liek Cindy's.

Heh. Not Valentine's, but at my friend's wedding his new MIL made chocolate roses that were on long plastic stems. Ouch. I think I still have lumps on my head. The bride's family was I think a little shocked at how we went at each other with them. They're a much more straight-laced lot.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
We had in school flowers, candy, etc for various holidays, sold by student council. called "grams". As in, "Valentine-grams, Halloween-grams". They were $1 and you got a carnation. They were supposed to be super-secret!.
I had forgotten all about those!

Nilly - at my school, the student council sells carnations, candy and singing telegrams as a fundraiser. Students can order these things in advance and then they are delivered on Valentine's Day. So, throughout the day, people are getting deliveries. By about 1 or 2, all the deliveries will have been made and some girls will be upset that they did not get anything. My highschool did not do this. At college, different groups sold different things, but it was the same idea.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
We had some friends over and they asked if we celebrated - and the true answer is in the " well, it is Valentine's day , so I can't do X I have plans with Dh" Which really means it is a good excuse nto to do anything we don't want to do.
forgot about the in-school flowers thing.
DH will not be home tonight- he left at 6. I have taken 2 naps since he left. I am going to walk to the coffee shop and see if walk+ coffee = staying awake.
