It’s Monday and it’s busy.

And it’s Valentine’s Day, so there have been quite a few bouquets of flowers delivered to the courthouse, including one woman in our office who claims that her husband has only sent her flowers twice in their 20+ years of marriage. He sent her some lovely tulips and iris.

I’ve long been slightly anti-Valentine’s Day because I consider what used to be a minor Catholic feast day to have become a ponzi scheme by the card, flower, and jewelry industries. That makes me sound unromantic, but I’m as romantically notioned as the next gal and if I had one, I would prefer that my beau show his affection on a more regular basis than to go all out on one commercially manufactured pseudo-holiday. I’m not alone my thinking.

Anyway, I’m busy, so little posting until later…

1. So ... you have issues with Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Easter as well?

   Some of us perfect men do both!

   :-p

3. Exactly, Jen.  Deb never knows when I am going to bring her home chocolate or something.  Why save it for today?

4. Tony - I do have issues with Mother’s/Father’s day as I do believe they fall into the manufactured “holiday” for the card/gift industries. That said, I agree that we should honor our parents - however, Scripture calls us to lives that honor our parents. So like the love thing, it should happen much more frequently than one random Sunday in the summer.

   Obviously Christmas and Easter are the highest holy days in the Christian faith. I have issues with the secularization and commercialization of those days as well. But I do participate, I admit.

   Jared/Jay - your wives are fortunate to have married men who romance them on a regular basis.
