Sweet Nothings

I woke up today very excited for valentines day! I know its a silly holiday but if you are in a relationship you actually really enjoy its the one day you can do something extra corny and sweet and not get any slack for it. Because I bought Brad some super expensive nike basketball shoes, I decided I needed to save money on the rest of my purchases for the occasion, so I hit up the dollar store! Let me tell you, people think just because its a dollar store does not mean the items are any cheaper than the expensive stuff! I got candles, rose petals, candy and cards all for 7 bucks! You know I'll be going back for some heart balloons and streamers! It's the thought that counts so this holiday maybe you should show your bank account some love and scope out the dollar store! (but beware of dollar stores where items actually cost more than a dollar, they are usually a rip off)

Have you given any thought as to what you might do for valentines day? If not here are a few options, Go see a movie! Valentines day opens this weekend in theaters and Dear John is already out, yes these are some "chick flicks" but I promise they won't make you any less of a man if you watch them. I recently saw "Everybody's Fine" and wow, it was a really real and honest movie but talk about a tear jerker. Robert De Niro never lets me down.

Now let's talk about your food options. Breakfast in bed is a classic for good reasons, but this really only works if you live together. So if you want to try a romantic lunch, why not try packing a picnic or going to the Art Museum cafe, its cute has good lunch specials and is right on the water. Dinner is also another classic, Johnny Carino's and Montana Mike's both have dinner specials that include an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert for about 20 bucks, cheap and yet still classy. Olive Garden is always nice but, can you say over done? and ridiculous wait time!

If you need some early excitement, Foreigner is going to be playing in Corpus tomorrow night at the American Bank Center!

Hear the Love

Also ladies, don't think I forgot you, your man will be happy with basically anything as long as its from the heart or delicious! But if you want to show him how amazing you are, you could always cook up something delicious for dinner and gather around the tv to see the all star game! Lebron and Wayde on the same team?! should be illegal. Oh and just as a side note, make sure your man stays away from cloud 9 lingerie, they tell your man to come to a private party so they can buy their ladies lingerie but the add says men only! Um, why would your man not want to bring you too? and what if you are a lesbian and want to buy something sexy for your lady?! Cloud 9 needs to re-evaluate or get out, a men only lingerie party is bull! and sounds a bit suspicious to me.

But no matter what you do for your sweetie this V-day, make sure you tell them you love and appreciate them, because that is the greatest gift of all.
