probably not. probably tex-mex and margaritas which is what we both like most anyway. I'll take any chance to drink margaritas!

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 15:06 (seventeen years ago) link

and yes we should enjoy the going out for margaritas as much as possible before we reach the point of needing babysitters first. ;)

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 15:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Watch out; I hear margaritas can figure into winding up needing babysitters. ;)

*insert shocked smiley face here*

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Just remember: I have two kids.

I REALLY want a margarita now, too.

Ahem, not to worry, though; A. had a vasectomy after J. was born. (TMI alert!)

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 15:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Funnily enough, circumstances have dictated we having r valdin the day after.

Which is nice.. Not packed restaurant and can pick the one we like / to try/ best!

xpost ditto. TMI also.

M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 15:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I am going to watch LOST on Valentine's Day. And worry about the take-home test I'll get on Thursday. But I do have presents for A. So at least we're doing something! (hopefully not TMI)

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 15:16 (seventeen years ago) link

presents? TMI?

I have to finish stitching G.'s tonights. I hope he doesn't go overboard for me b/c in the end mine are nothing special.

I will also be watching Lost on vday!

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

since only fools go out to eat on actual valentine's.

It will be our 4th or 5th anti-Valentine's day dinner. We gather up our friends, especially the single ones and go out to dinner. The hardest res on 2/14 is a deuce but for a table for 12, it's a cinch.

Michael White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

do you make reservations far in advance? how is service?

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 15:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Mmm, hello everyone. My anti-Valentine's dinner is with three friends tomorrow night at my fave local spot the Avanti Cafe. Reservations already in place.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 15:34 (seventeen years ago) link

We made our res some time ago, Sam, but we've had to tweak it as people cancel or get added. We're going to the same place as last year 'cause it's reasonable and the service was good.

Michael White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 15:42 (seventeen years ago) link

These large group activities sound extremely fun; I never had that brilliant of a plan for anti-Valentine's day.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link

mmm, Sauce, sounds saucy. :) (also, obv. Michael, you are not a fule.)

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 16:34 (seventeen years ago) link

re: kids and swearing

My son is at this age right now where he REALLY gets a kick out of saying things that are ALMOST swears, ie "son of a biscuit!", "holy grits!" etc. Sometimes when I and other adults accidentally cuss or say things akin to cussing, he will ask "is that okay for kids to say?". I think he's hoping I slip up one day and goes running to his mom school "FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK...dad said it was okay!".

nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

It makes me really proud of him to see that he, at 7, has enough self-control to not say things that aren't parent-approved.

nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 16:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I am doing absolutely nothing for Valentine's Day, and you know, I'm perfectly okay with that. So hey, Sara, I'll babysit! :)

(stupid distance.)

luna (luna), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 16:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Spencer does that too, sorta - "Mama, is crap a bad word? Can I say it? What about hell?"

luna (luna), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 16:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Spencer and the Nickboy need to form a rap duo. Titled that.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Someone swears on the DVD or the TV..

Amber (nine nearly): "oh, Shall I turn it over?"

Blummin sensible kids.

M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I wish you could babysit; we are supposed to go to a party at A's boss's house on Friday, but 4 sitters have turned us down, as have my parents. I think we're doomed.

I swear way more than I should and usually Al3x doesn't repeat it. (J. does sometimes, though). The funny thing is that Al3x will call me out on really mild words like, "crap," which are apparently not allowed in school. He just ignores it if I use serious swear words.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 16:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Spencer picked up a couple of bad words when he was very small "FUCK FUCK FUCK!" (oh that pleased my mom somethin' fierce), but now (if he doesn't ignore me) he does says things like "mama, you shouldn't SAY that! It's a BAD word!"

I should totally tell people I will babysit on Valentine's Day - I never thought of it. I mean, we have movies and a ton of video games and popcorn and ... yeah.

luna (luna), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

You could have a crowd of kids! And if you have kids, then they'd have someone to play with and you wouldn't have to entertain them...

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I know, right? Most of my friends here either don't have kids, or have kids that are way older than mine and don't need babysitting, so I'll probably just order chinese and watch sappy movies. It's cool.

luna (luna), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 17:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't know where else to post this but it made me laugh.

Eve de Harben?

Michael White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i would host a lost-vday fap (will kate choose sawyer or jack?) but there's that, you know, distance thing.

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay that is pretty funny about the hoax. The letter wound up in a book? Wow.

Sam, it would be fun to watch LOST with people other than my husband, but most people are not fans of watching with closed captioning. I love it, though, because then I don't miss anything. (Kate chooses Sawyer, therefore proving that good taste occasionally prevails, even on network tv. I gotta say, though, that Jack's heroics made me almost like him.)

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 19:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I say she should go heal Sayed's broken heart. Or make Hurley a man.

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 19:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Mmmmm Sayid. Yum. (That would make way more sense than either Sawyer or Jack in my opinion).

I want more Hurley, too. He's funny and sweet and therefore attractive.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 20:02 (seventeen years ago) link

There's not enough JIN in this series yet either (just repping for other handsome dude)

ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link

overall - way too much Jack and Sawyer. esp Jack.

Am I wrong for being shocked that a v-day card and a pack of hairbands just cost me $7.50. what the hell? shit be expensive. . .

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 20:19 (seventeen years ago) link

JIN, too. Very awesome.

Cards in general are insanely expensive. My mother has taken to not buying them and spending the money on a small thing of chocolates instead. I guess that wouldn't make much sense if you were sending chocolates already, though.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 20:22 (seventeen years ago) link

it's just a card for G to accompany his oh so loving car mats and stuffed creature. I think it was 3 or 4 bucks. sigh.

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 20:26 (seventeen years ago) link

That's what I mean; cards used to be a lot cheaper than that! Maybe I'm just projecting into the future, though; are they going to be $10 when I'm 90? (I fear I'm sounding like a combination of the Grumpy Old Man and a really fretful old lady...)

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

A customer pointed out the other day that I kept apologizing for the prices of things. Every time I sell a four dollar loaf of bread, I feel like someone's being cheated. (I know a large part of this is the culture shock of moving back to the expensive northeast, though.)

Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

-- that was connected to the discussion by the fact that I noticed the other day, sodas are more expensive than when I was a kid, candy bars are more expensive, but the "2 for $1" bags of candy and the 25-cent ice cream bars are the same price -- because they simply made them smaller.

Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

everything's more expensive! wtf?!?

Cans of coke costing .75 sucks b/c you could used to be able to get a coke and a snack for one buck. :(

it got totally freaking frigid here this morning. boo. :(

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Cokes should never cost more than 50 cents. It should be a law!

Sorry to hear about the cold weather Sam. My car said it was 5 degrees out when I dropped J. off at preschool; it would be okay if there wasn't some wind. Brrrr.

I thought I would be virtuous and exercise this morning, but I'm just going to take a nap instead.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I will shut up about my cold weather. I know you can pwn it.

my allergies are acting up today to. as are my clients. bah. where is something good to entertain me?

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

always get cards at the dollar store.

teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

:( I'm way too last minute with my cards for this. I went to the crappy CVS by campus that only had a few picked over cards left (although I did find a nice one.)

Target actually has lots of cool, not so high cards. (well that's true for everything at target.)

do not want to be at work today.

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I checked out the break room vending machine for the first time the other day (I've been being virtuous by not even looking at it). It is FULL OF POPTARTS for $0.20!!!! Only strawberry though. Maybe I'll take one home to Mr. Jaq as a valentine offering, in case Amaz0n doesn't deliver as they promised.

jaq (jaq), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

!!!!

I just bought poptarts downstairs in our vending machine, 2 for $1. they were apple strueduel. not even strawberry. :(

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I wanted to send a card to a friend of mine yesterday and realized the store doesn't sell them -- so I sent her a First Communion card. I figured, hell, at least it's pink.

$4, ftr.

Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:04 (seventeen years ago) link

im at the office all day...im supposed to cook dinner tonight for v-day, but if i have to snowblow when i get home, that ain't happening. its v-day everyday at my house anyways.

thebingo (thebingo), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

hi chris!!

teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Sam and anyone else who's interested, Here is how you pronounce the French curses and epithets I posted above.

Michael White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, and Good Morning and Happy Valentine's Day to you all.

Michael White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Happy happy joy joy (and heya Chris indeed!)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:26 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks Michael!

chris, the card accompanying my roses this morning said 'yeah I know it's valentine's day, but I would've been thinking about you anyway.' Which I guess sums up G.'s attitude. :)
