You survived the day of Love!

and if no one said anything to you....Happy Valentine's day!  We don't do a lot to celebrate the day at my house because we don't like the commercialism that surrounds it - but I do like to let people know they are loved and appreciated.  We had a nice romantic evening at home, in the basement with the tv showing a crackling fire.  It was awesome. I made simple chicken cordon bleu, baby potatoes and apsaragus.  We had appetizers and key lime pie for desert with sparkling apple cider to drink... pretty romantic, huh?  :)  And then we had someone come buy our old truck...so that was fun too, lol.  It was sooo nice to get it out of the yard!!  How was your day??  I hope it was full of love and chocolate.  :)

I still love this sketch by Studio C from last year...  It says a LOT about Valentine's day.


Today there are a couple of silly things...and a couple of clips I want to share.

National Gum Drop Day - if you like gum drops, this is your day.  Personally, I'm not a big fan of them.  My uncle loves gum drop cookies my sister makes, so that's about the only way I've eaten them.  She used to make big batches and freeze them then cook them before they went to lake shoshone.  that brings back memories...  :)

National Hippo Day - every body celebrate the hippo!!  I love this clip from Disney's Fantasia...


No One Eats Alone Day - I'm not sure what their version of this is, but I think it goes along with the new initiative in the elementaries that no one needs to be alone during recess or lunch.  Everyone can be a friend.  I think that should go for adults too - none of us like to eat alone (unless we're trying to read a good book, lol)
I love the movie Wonder.  It's taken us a while to see it, but I watched it on Amazon Prime, and had to have my family watch it.  They all loved the wonderful story of friendship and growth.  I know some of it was corney and not realistic, but it was awesome.  I really liked this lunch scene...


Women in Blue Jeans Days - I had hoped to post the clip from Studio C where they go through women's jeans over a 100 years, but I can't find it.  sigh.  I guess they're trying to say that women look best in blue jeans?  I'm not sure why it's today and tomorrow, and I'm not really caring.  I don't wear jeans right now...something to do with this...
I sooo agree.  I haven't been able to wear good old fashioned jeans in a long time.  sigh.  I'm not sure I ever will again - but I do like to think so.
Anyway - there is a specific website that is talking about women in blue jeans...   Apparently celebrating the rural woman.  Well, here's to ya!

Well...hope you had a great week - that today is awesome and that you have a wonderful long weekend.  I think we all need it.
