I’m a bit of a dork for the holidays. I love themed stuff. I love cards. I love wearing the colors of the holiday. My favorite holiday for a long time was St. Patrick’s Day. Why? Because it’s the day after my birthday, I can drink novelty (green) beer, and it coincides with the NCAA tournament, typically. Since Mr. Pearl and I began dating, I’ve begun to love Valentine’s Day more and more (super cheese, I know).
This year, I am expressing my cheese in a couple of ways.
1. I bought him a corny card from Paper Source.
2. I am *this close* to getting him a gift basket sent at work. I mean, why should I get all the fun of people gushing ’cause I got something (flowers) sent to me at work?! And because I’m a major nerd, I was going to send an organic fruit basket, since he’s doing a wedding diet with me.
3. I am putting little love notes in his computer bag, in his car, etc.
4. I’m leaving work early to drop off some special cupcakes to him (red velvet, for Valentine’s Day of course!) at work.
Are you doing anything cheesy for Valentine’s Day?

I bought a little book of sex “coupons” at Kate’s Paperie. I also bought several different Valentine’s cards–I’m going to fill out the coupons, and put them in the cards. I’ll give him one in the morning, I’ll mail one tomorrow so it arrives while I’m at work (he’s off that day) and then I’ll give him one in the evening with his gift. Thing is, I’m still not positive what I’m giving him for a gift! With all the wedding spending, we agreed to only give little gifts, I hope he sticks to it. Anyway, here’s the book, if you want order it fast or find it at your local store. It’s very nicely printed, not cheesy at all. Other than the “sex coupon” part!
lol, i opted for totally cheesy this year because i couldn’t think of something else [this is the beginning hard stretch on my wallet: valentine's day, then exactly one month later our anniversary, and then one month later his birthday!] and i already figured out his last two presents.
so i put together a box of things that reminded me of him: hershey’s hugs and kisses [they're sweet and i can't get enough], hot tamales [his love is hot], band-aids [he heals my hurts] tissues [wipes away my tears] and so forth. my favorite part was the little angel and devil rubber duckies i found at the world market [i LOVE that store].
i actually got the idea from a friend’s wedding favor, which happened to be my absolute favorite favor ever.
Aww……thats not cheesy, its super sweet! The organic fruit basket seems extra thoughtful, especially if he’s dieting too! You also said the magic words RED VELVET!! Thats love!
Hey, I’m getting married on Miss Pearl’s birthday! That’s good luck, right? 
Definitely is a good luck charm! I’ll be sure to send good luck vibes your way that day 
I love Paper Source
I got him a couple Chocolate Marshmellow cupcakes from Sprinkles and I’m waking up early to make him Banana Pancakes before work.
