T,

DAMN!

I was going to send this when I got home tonight, and you beat me to it.

And look at your egregious exclamation point usage, Miss Exception to the Rule.

Happy Valentine’s Day,

C.

Egregious? I think you mean spirited! Today is a holiday! About love! Aren’t we supposed to be enthusiastic?

(And yes, in case it isn’t obvious, this is the first Valentine’s of my life where I’ve actually got a boyfriend, so let’s hope he doesn’t shank it on the date plans.)

Lol, have some faith. I’m sure Mr. Boyfriend will blow your mind.

I’m a simple woman: forget flowers; give me a cupcake and it’s a perfect date.

Are you seeing anyone?
