E-g-g-p-l-a-n-t Spells Love

You may be looking at the title shaking your head. Let me assure you, I know what the dictionary says it spells, but with all the work that goes in to making a low-fat, non-fried eggplant parm... that's LOVE!

Elvis is working on Valentine's Day. I already told him that if he walks through the door on Tuesday with a bunch of roses, I'll whack him on the head with them. I am not against Valentine's Day. I happen to like it, a lot. I am not a fan of tossing money away because the calendar tells you to. He heard a commercial for a real rose dipped in 24K gold. I looked at him and shook my head. He confessed, he thought about it. There are so many other ways to show love and if he was dead-set on giving me a gold rose, instead of spending $75, plus tax, plus shipping for one... I would rather have a nice rose pin... something I can look at, use, show off, remember the day he gave it to me.

Seriously, I don't hate Valentine's Day!!!!

We are doing our "date" today. He went to the store to buy the ingredients and I am cooking the eggplant parm, home-made gravy (tomato sauce to you) and pasta for dinner. We rented a few movies from Redbox. Nothing says Valentine's like Scorpion King 3 and 50/50. *lol*

I am very much a "chick flick" admirer, but I love him enough to force him to watch them with me.
