      Bread and cold cuts will do too. I know. I do that on a weekly basis. Seriously, there is a Chinese myth about the God of Thunder Bolts throws Thunder bolts at people who waste food. Even now I am always scared when I throw all that food down the disposal…

         Ah. That is neither here nor there. Pardon me. I am working on a big glass of Amaretto Sour…

      I feel like going over to Someecards now and make me up some cards to celebrate Spoiled Milk Day.

   Ha ha! Ohhhhhh . . . good one. Glad to hear that someone else on the planet doesn’t go all ga-ga over Valentine’s Day.

   How funny – I am married and have a daughter but I’ll be pretty much doing nothing too. If it’s any consolation!

      There is too much unnecessary stress surrounding Valentine’s Day. *sigh*

      Thanks for making me feel better! 🙂

   I’m going to send myself a card, and buy myself flowers. It’s funny how the Match.com guys are all avoiding asking me for a date THAT day. Sunday – sure. Tuesday – great. Monday – *cricket*.

      LOL. Do you watch 30 Rock? Do you remember the episode when this guy asked her out and it HAPPENED to be the stupid Hallmark holiday?

   I plan to dress in black and boycott Blogland so I don’t have to read all the mushy valentine’s posts. (I’m actually serious about this.)

      My husband is not even in the same country. It has been quite a few year now that he needs to travel on V day. I actually enjoy the lack of stress; I also cannot get pissed if he’s not here to not do anything. Ha. Every year I buy myself stuff. If I am working my ass off, I can at least buy myself shit, right? 😉

    Actually, milk is fine for several days past its due date, and even much later if you give it to Now Husband Dan.

       I am pretty sure according to my dad, milk is fine as long as there is nothing floating inside it… EWWW.

    Valentine’s Schmalentines. You know what I love about Valentine’s Day? I love the (many) people who call it “Valentime’s.” That’s my very favorite.
