Shortly after midnight, sdavido appeared behind me with a Valentine's Day present. It's a brooch with three sparkly heart-shaped stones in a horizontal row; the center, larger stone is clear, and the other two are lavender. Very pretty. He said that he'd been saving the stones for a while (he has a talent for picking things up in odd places) and asked Angela to make something with them. He gave it to me early because he knew I'd want to wear it tomorrow. (Yes, I'm definitely planning on lavender.) I like having a romantic husband...

Oh, and I gave him a Spider-Man tie. So far. :-)

Awwww. :)

I have a romantic husband; I also have a deep queasiness about celebrating a saint's day even if it has become comletely secular in its actual observance by now. Has this ever bothered you and sdavido, and if so, how did you resolve it? We have ignored Valentine's Day deliberately the last two years; it doesn't feel quite right to ignore but it wouldn't feel quite right to celebrate either and I don't know what to do with it.

We actually have joked about that ("Happy Christian Saint's Day!"). But (a) it really has become a Hallmark Holiday - I doubt that anyone thinks about the origin anymore, and (b) we like giving each other things and will take any excuse to do so. :-)
