Valentines Day

[NA4BH]

The boss got a card and a bouquet of flowers.

Little Miss Field Day got a bouquet of roses (the boss prefers mixed flowers to roses) and a card.

I got scolded by the boss for giving LMFD a card, because the boss bought her a card that was supposed to be from both of us.

I got a card and a sugar-free chocolate bar. The card read "From my husband" because the boss pulled it from the "husbands" display, and someone had misfiled it --she thought it said "TO my husband." She's mortified. I told her not to worry about it.

My mom is getting a bouquet of flowers delivered & some chocolate covered pretzels. Mom, however, told me last night NOT to waste my money sending her anything... too late, the order went in days ago. She'll get over it.

And to top it off... in about 2 hours, I'm having my annual review at work. For 2012. Yup -- 13 months late.

It's a BEAUTIFUL day in the neighborhood...

It couldn't get any worse, could it? Oh wait, they're towing your car from the parking lot.

Good luck

Technically, it's her car. (Title is still in her name only)

In all fairness, I should note that the evening had a happy ending. We hadn't made dinner reservations; Little Miss Field Day is in the cast for the High School play, they had a "full cast" rehersal scheduled, and we didn't know when she'd be done -- some of the cast would get early dismissals. Turned out that the "full cast" rehersal was cancelled (replaced by a "background dancers only" rehersal), so that was no longer an issue.

We went to a nice little Italian place about a mile from the house. No crowd, in & out, food was good. The boss even got a rose, courtesy of the management -- who got them from the new florist that just opened up in the strip mall & was advertising.

And... my mom got the flowers and was quite happy to arrive (I should have known her protest was pro forma). The boss gave me a "new" card, this one properly said "TO my husband". So all was well.
