Rosé, Rice Krispies, and Rednecks (Translation: Valentine’s Day)

Valentine’s Day is a weird holiday to me. Some people love it, some people hate it, and some (like me) are pretty indifferent.

This year, though, I gotta tell ya- I’ve had an exceptional Valentine’s Day! Let me just outline my perfect little day for you:

*an unexpected day off of work
*lunch with one of my best friends
*a McDonald’s HFS (hot fudge sundae to the lay person) in complete silence in my car in the grocery store parking lot
*an unexpected delivery of flowers and some VDay treats at my door (thanks, Tin Cup and Felicity! Well, lesbihonest, thanks, Felicity. I’m sure TC has no idea about your sweet gesture)
*a positive appointment for a nagging issue that’s been plaguing Smokey G
*watching Abducted in Plain Sight. Whoa. What a ride that was.
*bread and butter for dinner
*rosé, Rice Krispies, and rednecks (Swamp People) for dessert

But the real highlight? Video footage of the Singing Valentine that Keith and Bessie and I sent to Gertrude. You see, Gertrude works in the special education department in River City. The River City high schoolers go around to the different schools and businesses in the area, delivering a rose and a beautiful tune to the one(s) you love for a mere $25. I mean, for $8.33 apiece, Keith, Bessie, and I gave Gertrude the gift that will last a lifetime. Special shoutout to Gertrude’s colleagues who were sure to video tape some of the event.
