Valley of the Valentines

I just noticed that comments are closed on the previous thread, and two days is way too long to be looking at Oprah’s face anyway, doncha think? Crawdad & MyIQ are at an undisclosed location, so this gives me a chance to sneak some candy in here.

Here’s what me & the kids made yesterday in honor of Valentines – candy!

And tonight, we are probably going to watch another  episode of Merlin via streaming video. That’s our exciting VDay agenda in our home!

In worrying news, Borders is set to announce Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection. Worrying for me because I still have a giftcard, and my kids like to browse their books. Online browsing is just not the same.  But I suppose after Borders, Barnes & Noble will go next, and then, in the end, there will be only Amazon. (insert evil amazon laugh here)

In other news, protestors are still in fashion. Egyptians are still striking and protesting, Iran has protestors and is predictably, cracking down on them, Yemeni protestors are getting tasered and batoned, Bahrain protestors hold a Day of Rage, and the Palestinian cabinet resigns (apparently,we get to blame Egypt for this).

Back home, status is still quo as Obama announces his new budget in front of that most critical and gimlet-eyed of all audiences – middle-schoolers.

How’s your Valentine’s Day going?
