What to Get Me for Valentine's Day

Ok, seriously insanely good brownie: Sweet Muse. Founder Laura Siner was at the Collective-E launch party back in September, and she brought with her these brownies. I had never tasted them before, and when she was next in line to become a member, she gave me a little brownie bite, and I swear, I could hardly put her order through, I was so on cloud nine of chocolate goodness. So, do yourself a favor. Tell someone who loves you to give the gift of chocolate brownies from Sweet Muse.

Love Cards and a Super Funny Video

Please look at the funniest video that I saw on melissahead's blog. I was eating while watching, and if you're laughing out loud while eating, that could be a problem. So, finish up, then watch.



Then, I visited her etsy shop for stationery, and about cleaned it out for her Valentine's Cards!! Keep checking the store as she ads new things! I hope she does it soon, because I want to do some Stylehive Therapy. Some of you (only 4, sorry, that's all she had) will get a Valentine card, and David will get some love coupons for chores and a date. He's also getting a nice custom framed picture of our love ring. I should get him something manly. Maybe some golf balls as encouragement of spring.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Valentine's Day Eve was spent curled in bed next to Gerdy, who was blocking 10 mile per hour gusts of wind coming through the makeshift cardboard window blocker from the air conditioner that we keep in the window all year (nowhere to put it). It took two hours for my feet to warm up! But I was grateful that I was not homeless, and that I had saved Oliver the Terrible Orphan, because what if he was shivering out there. So sad!

But then, at the break of dawn, like in a cartoon, smells of bacon drifted into the bedroom even though I could not hear a sound coming from the kitchen. David had quietly gotten out of bed and made our Paul Bunyan breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon and mini Pillsbury things to the soundtrack of Allison Krauss & Union Station. Then he brought over flowers. My Valentine wishes were granted when he gave me the Sakura Washi Earrings!


I gave David the big wheels t-shirt because he was the King of the Curb in his childhood days, and a yummy pair of Access corduroys that are a smidge too small, so I'll take them back and hope there is another size.


Oh, and if you'd like some valentine hearts for your computer's desktop, have some Valentines Hearts desktop wallpaper from Katie James! It's a free download. Happy day! Hopefully you're not buried under mounds of snow like folks in Ohio and the rest of the Midwest are! It's pelting frozen rain right now! I'm afraid to go outside!

Smitten! Valentine's Gifts for Boys

Doing a quick search for valentine's gifts for boyfriends yielded a crazy Google search, but then found these Smitten Mittens at UncommonGoods.com. David's always wanting to hold hands in the cold, but I keep my hands together to keep warmer. More importantly, "smitten" was David's chosen word when he confessed his feelings to me in our elevator back when he lived on the 4th floor and I on the 9th...

Valentine Boy Gift: Solid Threads T-Shirts

I've heard about David's legendary skid-outs on his bigwheel from the days he grew up eating the sidewalks of Columbus, OH. (psst: i maybe just got this for him. ;) )


As for fantasy football, when I asked him why he didn't play it, he answered: "You already don't see me on Saturday (college football). Do you not want to see me on Sunday (and basically any other football day) as well?" But I know there are other fantasy football boyfriends out there.

Valentines Boy Gifts: Cufflinks at Patrick McMurray

The place to buy these cufflinks, Patrick McMurray, is a fellow Mista. I may like the cufflink designs for myself as rings...can't tell. But boys need help dressing sharply sometimes.
