I admit it. I'm a Valentine's Day Grinch.
I don't like the commercialization of love or the marketing scam that says that you can somehow make up for months of relationship neglect by spending a big wad of money at Zale’s. I do like chocolate (dark), but the last thing I need is a huge box of it around my house. I'm no big fan of heart jewelry or stuffed animals or lacy lingerie or cut flowers that die and have to be thrown away in a few days. I really don't like doilies or ruffles... and I especially don't like PINK anything! I'm not your typical "girly" girl ... and I have struggled with that much of my life.

So it snows here in Colorado. I mean it really snows. I remember one time in college going out to shovel out my car, but it had snowed so much all the cars were covered in snow and I had no ideas which car was mine. I had to go up to all the cars in the general area I thought I parked and scrape it off to see if it was the right color.
So in a state that snows, snow tires are a really good thing. My husband Austin went to buy some snow tires last month at a brand new tire shop down the street and came home with 4 free club seats to a Nuggets game. How exciting is that! On our way to the game we pull up to pay for a not-so-cheap parking pass and the lady said someone had already paid for us. Free on top of free, really!? A fun night out with the family totally and completely FREE! At the game we used what we would have spent on parking to buy cotton candy and a basket ball for the boys. |
