We here on Ceol Mor are all about going all out for any holiday we can. Valentine's Day is just another excuse to really lay on the lavish gifts and be all Hallmarky and stuff. You didn't buy it, did you? Maybe just for a minute?
Actually Mark gave me the most romantic proof of his love for me ever. He spent Valentine's Day slaving away on the boat to ensure that I have rock solid plumbing on the boat. Nothing says 'I love you' more than upgrading the sanitation hoses and putting in vented loops. That is love I tell ya.
Meanwhile, I reciprocated Mark's generosity by making romantic gestures such as laundry, running Kitty to gymnastics and the playground, getting Maura to school and by generally making sure everything back at the Casa runs smoothly so he doesn't have to worry about it. This weekend, I will further demonstrate my adoration of him by redoing the crooked buttons on the salon cushions and repairing the crap job I did on the salon curtains. Swoon.
Divide and Conquer. Sometimes it is a necessary evil if you want to keep moving forward.
Today it was largely just Kitty and I kicking it while Mark and Maura attended to other aspects of life. So today, its just shots of the wee girl.

You, my friend, you need to invest in some armor or something similar to keep the boys at bay in her teen years. That girl is a glowing beauty. Look out world!
ReplyDeleteNo worries Cindy! She might look angelic and sweet but she has no problem telling you how it will be and displaying her wrath should you disappoint. ;)
DeleteMy kind of girl! And also my kind of Valentine's day. On the 12th I commented to Mike that I had completely forgotten to buy Valentines for anyone this year. His comment was that why should we support what is just a 'Hallmark' day anyhow since we love each other every single day? That's the kind of answer I like. But he did get me roses. And I did draw him a cartoon. I totally would have settled for sanitation hoses, though. Maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteMy wish for you is that you spend next Valentines on your new boat on which the previous owner totally redid the plumbing for his/her love just prior to your purchase. :)
DeleteCute pics of Kitty! Tate and I don't really celebrate Valentines Day, especially now since our anniversary was just 2 weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteSomehow though as the night ends I always feel a tad guilty about not doing more...Damn you Hallmark for instituting this guilt. I'll be stronger every year.
Is it wrong that we didn't celebrate our anniversary? What's really bad is Mark forgot my birthday and I was okay with it. I like to give him a hard time for not wishing me a happy birthday and man oh man will i got mileage out of this some time in the future. ;) I did tell him that having the master cabin redone was enough for Christmas, anniversary and birthday so its all good. :)
Delete"All Hallmarky"?
ReplyDeleteWait, does that mean that Mark is...
wait for it.....
oh, this is good....
Hallmarky Mark?
"C'mon, c'mon, feel it, feel it..."
So sweet! (except when she's displaying wrath I'm sure.) :-) And funny on the Valentines. I'm for any holiday that involves chocolate really. Or actually...the day after the holiday chocolate sales. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy V day. I happened to be helping a certain someone push out a baby then sleeping the remainder of the day as my toddler would allow. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie Kitty is! Great pics.
ReplyDeleteAgreed that Valentines Day is mainly a commercial event these days, but still hard to fight the disappointment when no flowers or chocolates show up...or important questions don't get popped!
