Say what?

The greeting card racket is spiraling out of control.  Today on my lunch break I slipped into a paper store to pick out a meaningful valentine for Hubby.  As I squeezed my way towards the card section, I finally found one that spoke to me.  I got in line.

"That'll be $10.78, please!"

"What was that?"

"$10.78."

"Really?"  I had to ask, since I had chosen a sweet but ordinary, simple card.  It couldn't jazz dance or do my taxes, for example.

"Yes, it's $9.95...do you want to pick out another one?"

Reader, in another year, when I was perhaps less self possessed, I may have actually bought the ten dollar greeting card.  Today I walked away.  I guess that's one of the perks of being in my latest twenties. 

In the end, I made Hubby a card.  Turns out he did the same for me.  xoxo 

Since Hubby has always cooked special meals for me, this Valentine's Day I decided to shake things up a bit.  I would prepare a Valentine's meal!  La tour cheese, gruyere puffs, chimichurri flank steak with asparagus, and chocolate souffle.

Thank God for heat and eat.  Thanks, Fresh Direct!!  (Well, after a hard day's work, it's the thought that counts, is it not?)

xoxo
