That's me, my own "funky valentine." Partly because I used "punny valentine" five years ago, partly because it's a fitting moniker for someone wearing everything from cutout sweaters to what the husband described as a "Valentine's funeral hat." Still, maybe there's a connection in there somewhere. "Cutout" makes me think of "Cut it out," which makes me think of Dave Coulier on Full House, which makes me think of Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know." And Alanis seems like the kind of woman who'd appreciate a Valentine's Day Massacre style topper.
Not that I have any reason to be snarky about St. Valentine. This lovely bouquet was waiting for me at my computer this morning:
Oh, that husband. As I type this, he's making us a seafood dinner! Here we are at my parents' last weekend:
You'll notice that I swapped my hat for just the flower barrettes. As fun as it was, it just wasn't conducive to scarfing down my mom's baked ziti, and I certainly wasn't going to let anything, fashion statement or not, get in the way of that.
So, whether you're in an Alanis or sweetheart state of mind this V-Day, I hope you had fun. And that you ate lots of candy.
