Spressing the Luv on Valentine’s Day
By: Ginger | February 13, 2009 | Category: General
Once I took my 6 year-old nephew, Solomon, out for pizza. There was a young couple across the aisle kissing and having a private moment. My nephew pointed at them and in a very loud voice announced to all the folks in the tri-state area, “Look Auntie Marmoo, they are spressing the luv!” I don’t think the young couple heard… they were clearly distracted.
Well, there will be no “spressing the luv” at my house this Valentine’s Day. About 6 months ago, I bought a new shower brush to scrub my back. I hung it by the bathtub. This weekend, my husband was taking his turn to clean the bathroom. I happened to walk by and saw what he was doing. I discovered that he thought my shower brush was a toilet brush and he’s been using my back scrubby-brush to clean the toilet!
My husband tried to put a positive spin on the situation. He said, “It can’t be that bad. I’ve been using that thing to clean the toilet ever since you bought it and you never noticed.” Well, you know what they say payback is… and I’m here to tell you, her name is Auntie Marmoo! I wonder how long it will take him to realize that I’ve started using his toothbrush to brush all of our pets’ teeth?
Anyway, Saturday is Valentine’s Day, and you are probably wondering what Valentine’s Day has to do with the government. I did a quick search just to see what would come up on USA.gov.
Did you know you can send a Valentine message to your loved ones serving in the military? A video store in central Illinois is running a program to send donated DVDs and a valentine message to soldiers in Iraq
The Census has a Valentine Fact page that has some interesting statistics regarding Valentine candy, flowers, and jewelry.
Do you wonder about the origin of Valentine’s Day? Check out this Valentine page brought to you by The Library of Congress.
Have a wonderful Valentine weekend and ladies make sure your husbands understand the difference between a toilet brush and a shower brush.

Ginger I hope you will be able to laugh about this next year...although a labelmaker might be a great Valentine's gift. Comment Permalink | Post a New Comment

I will have to write a blog about worst gifts next X-mas. When we were first dating, my hubby gave me a can opener and a rabbit ear antenna for my TV, so that I could get better reception to watch "Star Trek- Next Generation". Sounds pathetic, right? But it was actually sweet in its own way. At the time I thought, "You have got to be kidding." I deserve an Emmy (in the not-a-real-actress category) for the performance I put on gushing and thanking him for my TV antenna! This has become my fondest and favorite story to tell about my husband, because it exemplifies my husband's very practical, "trying to be helpful", nature. Comment Permalink | Post a New Comment
