Forget Romance


Wow. I never thought I would hear those words uttered from my lips. I am a hopelessly hopeless romantic.

But this year is different. I need more than romance. I need a total transformation. This is not to discount the flights of fancy surrounding Valentine's Day. Cuz there is no one more devoted to the celebration of holidays than I. I want all the cream puff/cutesy/lovey dovey things I can handle. We're talking heaps of decorations, valentines for friends, special outfits for said day (how do I choose?!?), dishcloths, theme dinners, etc.

But what I'm more concerned about is gifts. I need a total transformation. I don't want any jewelry (gasp!), or chocolate (huh?), or perfume (what the?), lingerie (oh my!) or even that darling little dress I saw at a certain designer store last week (have I gone mad?).

I want the gift that keeps on giving. I'm talking weights, stability balls, yoga mats, medicine balls, vitamins, and even protein shakes. Yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! I can feel myself getting tuffer just thinking about it. And I know how to correctly spell tougher, but I think it's just more tuff spelled the other way.
Sign me up! I'm in! And I'm serious. Just as soon as I finish my chocolate on fruit on ice cream on cake on honey filled dessert on Valentine's Day.

Sean Carter totally fooled me.

Um, this is a great Vday idea. I'm going to make these suggestions to my valentine. Time to firm up and trim up before spring comes. :(

I wish I liked exercising more.

You're crazy.. The day AFTER Valentines is for "The New York Diet"--the weights, stability balls, yoga mats etc. etc.

In my book, come Feb. 14th--I'm eating cookies and chocolates, wearing jewelry and cute clothes, dousing myself in perfume and hopefully smelling a beautiful bouqet of fresh flowers all day! (oh, and don't forget the lingerie)
