As most folks are aware this past weekend was Valentines Day, or as I prefer to think of it, Singles Awareness Appreciation Day (SAAD). Even as a married person Valentines is not my favorite holiday. Fortunately it’s not my husband’s favorite either, so we’re pretty equal in that. He doesn’t like it because it’s a holiday where in men, even when they do all the right things, tend to take it in the chops and I just spent too many V-days alone or with girlfriends sharing in the frustration. So…we’ve made the holiday our own. Every year my sweetie and I exchange the same Valentine gift…windshield wipers. It’s highly practical and also useful as the darn things should be changed about once a year anyway. Then we reaffirm our love by ordering in food so no one has to cook or make a mess and watching TV together. It ain’t fancy, but it’s love.
This year my sweetie added one little thing to the routine. He painted my fingernails. The act itself was adorable, but then he produced Mickey Mouse decals and put those on, all in prep for our upcoming trip to Disney World.
It ain’t traditional candy and roses, but it works for us.
How about you, gentle reader? What non traditional things do you do to celebrate the relationships in your life?

Kelly found these little plush hearts with mushy words on them and stuck them all over the bedroom, bathroom and closet. Getting the suit out, brushing my teeth, and several other typical Sunday morning activities turned into a treasure hunt.
