Valentine's Day

Yeah. It's Valentine's Day. DrummerWife and I have never really been big on V-Day. We acknowledge it, accept that some people get insanely bent ou of shape over the ficticious holiday, but we don't really go all that nuts over it. A couple years back, the V-Day before we got married, I had a bouquet of roses delivered to her parent's house, and then a few years before that - back when we're a'courtin' - we went and had pictures taken for Valentine's Day. That's about it. No overly grand gestures or anything.

This year is no different. We're exchanging cards - she already got hers, since I was the only one of us to remember to actually buy the card BEFORE the holiday ;) - and I'm picking up some fresh chocolate-covered strawberries today that we both ordered together a few days ago. Our excuse this year is that we're trying to conserve finances with DrummerBaby on the way and all.

Anyway, I spent yesterday bombed out of my gourd from Tylenol PM, which I took to alleve the cramped-up back I received from shovelling about 40,000 metric tons of snow on Sunday. It would have been easier if DrummerWife could have lent me a hand, but we all know that's not possible. So, I picked up a heating pad at a large, blue, corporate-behemoth of commercialism that prominently features a smiley-face in it's advertising. I spent a solid 4 hours on that thing yesterday, and I'm feeling about 4000 times better today. Huzzah.

Yeah DrummerWife...being pregnant during LARGE snow storms does have its benefits. Supervising all the shoveling is much better than helping.

Drummer -- you should try some of those heating pads you attached to your back and then you can wear it while you are at work. They work great!!
