omorkaThe number of stuffed animals at school this year was up by about 150%, but the number of big ugly red mylar balloons was down by about a quarter of two years' ago's total (last year V-Day was on a weekend, so it can't really be directly compared).
I got chocolate from three students and RR.
Spouse brought me roses when he picked me up. :) I didn't get him anything special - now I feel guilty.
We went to our special-occasion semi-cheap Italian place. It was good - better than last time. And the waitstaff has gotten back to its usual level of cuteness, too.
I really am not much for V-Day - it's a saint's day, after all, and I have Imbolc and the Spouse's and my cryptoversarry bracketing it, and those are both far more meaningful to me. But the kids are rabidly cute, and it's nice to have a day to celebrate sexual attraction, for once (instead of condemning it or trying to sell stuff with it).

The restaurant was full of red balloons. This, plus Flyboy's having a minor freakout on Friday about the North Korea situation and my totally realizing how new this was for him, has led me to my newest playlist, to be entitled "In the Shadow of the Bomb." I have a half-dozen songs in mind (leadoff is "99 Luftballons," of course; penultimate is "1999," and the anchor will be "End of the World as We Know It") - any suggestions?
