Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is great time to declare love for the things that really matter in life-- the parts of your life that you don't just really like a lot, but would experience soul-crushing can't-live-without-it bitter teeth-gnashing crying-woe-is-me suffering were it removed.

Great loves.

True loves.

Never-get-over-as-long-as-you-live loves.

The-world-is-a-bleak-and-lonely-place-without-the-existence-of-them loves.

Write-poetry-about-them loves, if you were, you know, into that.

Pine-for-them-endlessly loves.

If-you-were-in-junior-high-you'd-have-a-whole-notebook-full-of-doodles-and-your-name-next-to-theirs loves.

Loves that have the power to draw you in no matter what the circumstances because they seem to have their own gravitational pull... of love.

Things like...

Bacon

and

New York City

and

DVRs

and

Cupcakes

and

Green sauce from Pio Pio

and

iPhone aps

and

Target.

What are yours? (And obviously, the people and pets in your life that you love go without saying-- we all know you love them, most of the time.)

Happy V-day to you and Ian and the pups of course. We love, along with all of your other fans, reading and laughing with your posts. And I haven't given up on finding a way to get you your green sauce. :)

From Aaron: iPhone apps?

I LOVE this post.
Ditto to NYC, green sauce and Hulu.
I add Jamba Juice, Hatch's chocolate covered cinnamon bears, and pilates.

Did you get an iphone? I literally thought 50 times this weekend that I cannot live ever again without an iphone.

A couch big enough to fully lie down on
