I like salty more than sweet--imagine that?

Next Tuesday is Valentine's Day.  Next Tuesday Laurel needs to go to school with 22 valentines for her classmates, 2 for her teachers and 1 for that Paul.  As you could probably guess, I am not a fan of Valentine's Day.  It's a day when you either run the risk of feeling more alone than you are or pissed at your significant other for not doing something or spending too much on something (screwed either way).  Then there are those freakin' commericials--"he went to Jared".  I swear if I ever met this Jared, I would kick him in the face.

I have specifically told Ching not to do anything for the day.  Flowers die (and there is nothing more gross than old dirty flower vase water) and I am not into chocolates.  I like salty more than sweet--imagine that?  (Actually how awesome would a valentine hunk of good cheese be?)  Valentine's Day should be about kind gestures for the ones that you love and don't cost a cent.  If Mr Ching Wang is insistent on an idea for the day, you could give him one of these:

1.  If you wake up in the middle of the night and your mouth is dry, more likely than not, you are snoring.  Do me a favor, get up and sleep in the guest bedroom because, yes, I am awake.
2.  If you see three squares left, get a new roll!  AND take the old one off, throw it away and put the new one in the holder.  Just sticking the new roll on top of the old roll is only doing half the job.
3.  If you are going to walk to the kitchen with a dirty plate, reach a little lower than the counter or sink. (Nope, lower, lower...Mr Ching Wang meet the dishwasher.)
4.  Your socks didn't go from fresh to stinky on the floor.  And tossing them on the floor next to the hamper..not in the hamper?  No words for that one...
5.  When I ask for ideas of what to make for dinner, I am specifically asking for help coming up with an idea.  Saying that "I am fine with whatever" is not helpful.  I am asking for a suggestion not confirmation that you will eat anything.

If Ching did any of those five, he would be pitching serious woo.  (But then I would also have to repeat myself again..it's closed for business!! 1/13)
