What can be said about a man who buys you shoes for Valentine's Day? (I love him!) Rediculously expensive shoes with a dozen creamy white roses to go with them (I love him!). Shoes that he picked out all on his own that made even the woman waiting on him, try them on in the back while getting my size! Shoes which he handed me and giddily said that he thought they would look great with a dress or with jeans. He actually said, "You're the type of girl who could rock $300 shoes with jeans in a bar as he rolled my jeans up to get a better look at the shoes...

Internets, he's amazing.

update: These are the shoes, and no they aren't stillettos, but he knows that I stand on my feet for seven hours a day!

Dear Cupid,

Let me thank you ever so much for hitting me with your lovely golden arrow and allowing me to see my special friend a few days early! I know I could've waited for a few more days but you are an impetuous little bastard!! It's just so fucking romantic to be ragging it on Valentine's Day. That being said, it is a good thing everyone has plied me with chocolate on this ever special day of LOVE. John, if you're still unsure of that "special gift" that can show me your undying love?? A box of Tampax would be perfect right about now.

Love and Kisses,

Melina

PS. No one make me these tampon heart earrings because they are kinda gross...even for me.

John's night class got cancelled, whooo! So now I'm antsy for him to come home. One, because I love him and two, because he said we could now have a delicious VDay meal. He can't dangle a meal in front of me and expect me not to get excited. But now, it's four pm...I still won't see him until 6:30 on a normal non-snowy/icy/wonderous (for those who get snow days!!) night. So that means that I won't see him until around 7 pm. Always trying to be helpful I sent him this email:

won't they let you leave early from work? Tell them that your wife is in labor...we'll just look at them strangely if anyone ever asks to see the baby.

With today! NOT because it's Valentine's Day, but because I don't have to go to work today. This is better than a box o' chocolates any day.

John...this one's for you. Oh and may the force be with you and all that jazz. (Keep reading for a real explanation folks)

When you get a sleeve of Star Wars tattoos as John did, people assume that you're obsessed with Star Wars and that is the only interest that you ever have involves Star Wars...this would explain why he got a Darth Vader head cookie jar (perhaps it's actually a bank??) for Christmas from his sister. And it's pretty clear that he's a little sick of getting SW stuff all the time, but he's very gracious in accepting it and therefore will continue to receive the it when he's old, gray and using a walker (perhaps there will be a Millennium Falcon model by that time?) I'll admit, I fell into the same trap when I first met him and I did the same thing to him last year with the hoodie that is now referred to as " that gay Boba Fett hoodie". This is a little harsh because it was the first gift I ever purchased him and because I lost the receipt so I only got $24 back for it and in reality I just wanted to sex him up as a Valentine's gift, but whatever. That's what you get for trying to be "classy"...

Since we aren't going to be able to spend Valentine's Day together (which isn't a travesty or anything, but it would've been nice) since he has night class and he has to take a test. I decided to prepare this "very special" Valentine's Day post for him. It's only a joke...

I wouldn't do this to him, for reals.

Although...next year I was thinking about getting him an ewok.

Anyone else making their own valentine's this year?? These are for my BCTs (Bitches Coming Together)...I have yet to decide what Johnny's valentine is going to look like. I went to my childhood doctor to see if he'd give me an x-ray of my heart, but he said no, so it's back to the drawing board.

Whaddya think about these? Not too shabby right?
