Another Hallmark Day, another reason to shoot myself in the head.

Okay, so I hate Valentine's Day. I have always hated Valentine's Day. Four years ago, I decided Feb 14 was Halloween and dressed up as Daria. I dunno, I've just always been one of those people who believes that we should show our loved ones we appreciate them more regularly than once a year ( Read more... )

I'd suggest a home-made "gift ticket" jar. Make up 12 tickets that he can redeem once a month for things you can give him that require more of your time than your money. Like a back or body massage, 60 minutes of your undivided attention, his favorite home-cooked meal, an opportunity to have you do his chores for a day, getting to pick everything you watch on TV one evening - and having you watch it with him, getting up early and making him coffee & breakfast for a week (if he goes to work before you), etc. Be creative. If you're feeling really generous (and creative) make up 52 tickets and let him redeem one a week ( ... )

Thank you, helpful mystery person. Who are you?

Ok, so even though it's totally sweet what he's done, putting you on the spot is not cool. And he has. You live in that godforsaken Welsh village for him- that's enough! If you were living on your terms, there'd probably be like an H&M nearby. At LEAST.

So tell him you're sticking to the plan, and then squeal over every little thing he gives you. If he's disappointed, it's his own damn fault.

Jory baby- the printing press is my arena!
