Locke: I heard you have lost your wedding ring.
Sun: Yes. I have been looking for it everywhere.
Locke: You know, I have once lost something valuable to me. Luckily, I found it later.
Sun: How?
Locke: By finding it the way everything gets found.
Sun: (Staring at Locke)
Locke: I stopped looking. -LOST

• Valentine’s Breakfast= awesome. Buttermilk pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream were heavenly! Thankfully I also kept them down. Roo’s been giving me a little bit of morning sickness lately.

• Our long walk on Skagg’s Island was wonderful. We saw wild birds, and Match’s favorite: abandoned buildings

• Realizing after the long walk that Match lost his wedding ring= very sad. We thought about going back, but we knew it would be impossible to find. It’d be like searching for American silver eagles in a big jar of coins. Plus the ring was really loose, and he needed a new one.
• The irony of losing the wedding ring on Valentine’s Day was not lost on us. Sigh.
• Quick stop by Kay’s and they still had the same ring he had before.
• It had to be special ordered and won’t arrive for 30 days. Match felt so bad, but I kept telling him it’s nobody’s fault. In a way its a good thing since the old one was so loose and it was only a matter of time before he lost it.
• We had a day full of great quality time and this evening we have plans for takeout and a movie on the couch. All in all a great day with just a little hiccup.

Charlie: So, how many?

Claudia: A couple….a few….some….six.

Charlie: Six? Six cavities? That’s, like, 20% of your teeth, Claud! -Party of Five

Phoebe: Ninety percent of a woman’s pheromones come out the top of her head! That’s why women are shorter, so that men will fall in love when they hug them! [Ross is staring at Phoebe] Oh, come on, Ross, you’re a scientist. -Friends

Like I said in a previous post, Valentine’s Day isn’t a huge deal for Match and I. We didn’t buy each other gifts, but we did use the holiday as an excuse to do nice things together. With Match’s new schedule, time has been precious, especially weekend day time. Match got home from his night shift and offered to take me to a Valentine’s breakfast. It was a nice little change from the typical Valentine’s dinner, and far less crowded. I cheated from the diet and splurged on waffles. They were so delicious! After breakfast we went home and Match slept for the rest of the day while I worked on a little homemade project for him. (more…)

He proposed on a Valentine’s Day, although he didn’t do it face to face, he did it in one of the little Valentine bits in the paper. I think he had to pay for it by the word, because it just said “Lee love Dawn, marriage?” which you know, I like, because it’s not often you get to something that’s both romantic and thrifty. -Dawn, The Office

I can’t believe how fast January has gone by. It’s almost February, which means both Match’s birthday and Valentine’s Day are coming up. With Match still being out of work, any sort of gift giving event has become a sore subject. I want to do something nice for him, but I also don’t want him to feel guilty. We thought he’d have started his new job by now, but they’re really giving him the run around. Three weeks for a background check just to be a security guard/EMT? WTF?! Grrr….anyways… (more…)

Harper: Love is just a bunch of exaggerating and lies, all dolled up in pseudo-poetic language (uttered preferably while intoxicated) and all for the singular universal purpose of… uh, you know.

Trance: [laughing] Harper, you’re a born romantic!

Harper: [hesitantly] Sometimes there are flowers? -Andromeda

Just as I planned, our Valentine’s Day was very low key. Match and I shared a yummy dinner, exchanged cards, and watched the movie Juno. He did surprise me with a beautiful bouquet of red tulips, which I love! I love that they’re not roses, and they’re different than what 90% of guys out there buy. (more…)
