Well, now that the super bowl is over, we can move on to more important things, namely Valentine's day.  While everyone has their own set of expectations and fantasies, I think mine are quite simple:

1.  I would really like to see the person I "like" on valentine's day.

2. I like the idea of a card that was painstaking picked out with their name written inside and maybe some more if I'm really lucky.  This card will then be stowed in my one of my drawers until one day when you have angered me and I find it stowed away and at that point, I will forgive you for not putting the toilet seat down or whatever your infraction was ( within reason)

3.  I would like to have some flowers here just once that I didn't buy myself.

Now I know that men think Valentine's day is a made up holiday, but here is the deal, women just want to feel special and thought about.  Since men aren't very good at the " just because flowers,etc" this holiday and it's advertising bombardment was created to help men.  They just don't see it.  :)
 

Friday, February 4

I would just like to start today by apologizing to anyone I might have offended with my blog about the Packers.

Now, with that out of the way, I would like to make fun of the way people hoard groceries before a winter weather event.  This past week, we were forecasted to a significant amount of snow.  Like over a foot.  

I live in a city and I go to the grocery store up the street that is mainly the choice of other city dwelling people - it's not a store that draws traffic from rural areas that surround us.  I went there on Monday and people were hoarding stuff like there were never going to be able to get out  again.  Now i know what you are saying, but you were there too.  I was, but that is because I usually grocery shop on Monday or Tuesday. 

So here's what I want to know-- what is about snow that makes people eat bread?  By the time I went to the store about 6 pm, the bread was picked over in a way that I had not seen in a long time.  So do these people only bread because it was going to snow?  Would they still have eaten/brought bread if it wasn't going to snow?  Where they going to make snow sandwiches?  I just don't get it.
