V-Day on a budget....

[farmerjerome]

I figure since we're all probably feeling the wallet-crunch a little bit this year, we can share some tips. I'll start.

Dr. J and I thought about dropping a bunch of cash on Syracuse/Georgetown tickets and having a nice dinner but nixed it.

Instead, I'm going to make chocolate-covered strawberries, pick up the cheap champagne that we both like and DVR the game while he's at work. He'll probably make dinner later and we'll pick up a DVD from Redbox.

V-Day on a budget is GREAT if you're single!

But if I had a lady, it'd be a fine dinner in cooked by me. Probably my go-to dinner of shrimp scampi.

**** the flowers.

I'll be your Valentine for shrimp scampi, Highway. :D

See, the good thing is that my hand doesn't expect a gift. Now ol' lefty, well. We'll just keep ol' lefty in the bullpen.

I'm the last person who should be commenting on someone's appearance... but running the large photo of him next to the column made me wonder if he is boycotting Valentine's Day or if Valentine's Day is boycotting him.

Just keep him loose, in case, well, you know.

I have two shows on V-day so me and the fella are celebrating on Monday with tickets to see our favourite Junior hockey team play. Tickets are really cheap and seeing a game together has become a real luxury. 8)

So you're saying the 12-piece orchestra, ice sculpture and rent-a-cupid is a bad idea?

Unless it takes a while. Then?
Threesome!

FJ: Roll the chocolate-covered strawberries in powdered sugar. He will be yours forever.

Trust me on this one. :D

 

[imjustagirl]

Strawberries in powdered sugar are the best things ever ever ever.

Super Nintendo. I'm hanging out with Pat and Vanna, and I'm gonna win me the grand prize.

No, no, GIVE the flowers.

Geez. no wonder you don't have one.

Single and working ... sounds like a cheap way to spend V-Day.

Single and working ... sounds like a cheap way to spend V-Day.

I'll probably spend more money Saturday grabbing a dinner between games and running a couple errands than I would have if I had a valentine.

That said, it would either be a homemade meal with strawberries and chocolate dipping sauce (good call, FJ) and a fire in the fireplace and/or dinner at this cute BYOB (bringing the cheap wine!) jazz club I dig. Of course, the date I'd like to take isn't nearby, so ... off to work and errands for ducky. :P
