A Valentine's day Blog

Valentine's day
So Valentine's day is here. As is a Crappy, Snowy, Cold day.
I am not letting that bother me (Except when I need to go out in it).
I would like to wish my wife, son, Rick & Colleen Jessi & Sean A happy Valentine's day.
Also anyone else who happens to put the effort into reading these pages.... Happy valentines day.

Thoughts from Last Night...
Now I was thinking... there were Magic in holiday's as a kid that begin to disappear as you get older. When Things "just happen" as a kid they seem like magic. But I think as you get older and realize all the effort that went into things to make that magic... You are both impressed with the people that did it for you and at the same time committed to making it seem like magic for your off spring... Now I know .. you are thinking... This blog would have been better suited for around the Christmas holiday... and if that were all there was to the story... you would probably be right... but that is where the twist comes in....

The twist
Well... Valentines day is one of the times where the magic of being a kid is still present.
Now of course it has some conditions... but all in all they aren't to bad.
"Conditions?" I hear ya say. Well first condition would be for you to have someone in your life that you Love... Not necessarily a spouse only... could be a parent or a child or a grandparent even. Doesn't HAVE to be the "Hot Monkey Love" kinda Love. Just someone you Love.
Then the Second condition is you have to want to inform that person How much you care.

Did ya meet the Conditions?
Well... if you did... then we can get back to the Magic part. Valentines day is one of the times where you can take the time to find inside of you the words you feel every day but forget to say.
Something as simple as "I Love you". that remembering... and the telling... see there in lies the magic. It doesn't need to be Diamonds... or Chocolates (My wife might disagree there though ;p).
But as a group... most of us get so wrapped up in the day to day bustle that we think those things but they forget to get outside of our heads where they can do the good that they were intended to do. So with Valentine's day... we are collectively reminded that we should inform those that we care for how important they are in our lives.
Sharing that kind of information is the best kinda magic you could hope for (aaaaand you might even get some booty too! ;p You didn't think that I could be all romantical this whole time with out a Booty reference did you?)

I'll Leave you with This...
I hope you all have a great day today... and that I didn't make any of you go...
"duuuuude...!?"


That is all for now I guess.

Not a lot of magic here today....My shoulders hurt from shoveling, and I am soooo bored. Zack is watching cartoons...Sigh...I did get some beautiful pictures that Zack colored for me this morning. He was very proud and it was a nice valentine card for me. I don't need diamonds and you know that. I never have really worn a lot of jewelery...and I do love chocolate..That would have been nice...But I don't need it...I would just like you, and some of that magic you are talking about. I didn't want to feel crappy about being alone on valentine's day...but you know me...I can't help it. I love you very much! I miss you tons! Don't know what else to say.

Joe came over and plowed the driveway for me...but I had already got most of it done. It really sucked and my whole body feels like shit. He said he would come over again in the morning. I thought that was nice of him. He has a new"er" duely (sp) truck with a plow so I think he just wanted to show off...You know how guys are...LOL...Karma is happy to have a long clear stretch to Poop in...Her valentine's day turned out good LOL...

Just a little PSA for you on your "Things I gotta get off my chest"...

I think you are going to have to let the cheese dream go. You see, Disney was not a complete waste of time as I learned at the Animal Kingdom that Bald Eagles are NO LONGER an endangered species! So...sorry...no national cheese bird for you :(

LOL

Awesome blog, Bro and you never make me say, 'dude?' I know you pretty well and it would really take something for you to totally shock me! Great read as usual and definitely in for something this weekend!

Colleen.... I think that if I ask Rick nice like... He might wanna test out that new gun of his on a couple "Baldys" I think we could get those Numbers back in line to make the dream a reality.
I mean I am just sayin.... ;p
