kosher valentines day.

our first valentines day was in 2005 for RB and i. everybody knows what day valentines day is- february 14th. some might argue that RB is forgetful, or cheap, or dumb. either way, its funny, it worked out, and now it's our tradition, like many of my own family's random little traditions, RB and i have kosher valentine's day.

so, the story of our first valentine's day and everyone there on in is as follows: february 14th 2005 came, and nothing arrived, no flowers, no candy, nothing. i called RB and i was rip roaring pissed. i finally had a real boyfriend with a real job and real money. why was there nothing for valentines day? i mean, at the very least for the first one.  he was insistent that valentines day was the 15th. i began laughing at his ridiculous argument. seriously, you're 25 years old, you've had girlfriends and a mother and you actually expect me to believe that you think valentines day is the 15th. what a schmuck. he did! he checked his flower order, and he did indeed order his flowers for the 15th. he was amazed and how inexpensive his order was. dummy. 

the next year, he had flowers sent on the 14th and the 15th, naming the 15th, 'kosher valentines day'. i insisted that it was silly to buy flowers for both days. i thought it was much sweeter, funnier and the flowers were just as pretty on the 15th as they were on the 14th. it was decided from then on that he would buy flowers only for 'kosher valentines day'. cards and an item made can be given on actual valentines day but nothing can be bought for actual valentines day.

like i said, some might say that he is an idiot, or that he was trying to get out of something, but i doubt it. RB can be that dumb sometimes. some people also find it ridiculous that he gets out of buying me an anniversary gift- but that's another story too... and a choice of mine, not his, plus, i know i've said this before, mind you're own house.
