Real Valentines


Romeo, Romeo
Get off of my balcony or I will get a restraining order

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue
If the kitchen isn’t clean in the morning
I will go Elizabeth Taylor-Martha-Virginia Woolf on you

My love is like a red red rose
Kind of cliche and a little wilted

Be Mine!
(Just kidding. Everyone in the class got one)

Your love is like bad medicine
There is no appropriate way to dispose of it except maybe sending it to a third world country

Some say love it is a flower
But that my dear, is garlic mustard

I love you a bushel and a peck
Whatever the hell that means

And I’ll be your friend
And I’ll be your lover
And I know in our hearts we’ll agree
It’s better if you shave your own back hair

You are the sunshine of my life
and the dirty sock balls on my floor

Love me tender, love me true...
Let me go to sleep

My real valentine for you, dear readers, is a $100 dollar shopbop gift card giveaway! Leave a comment with “SB” and I will select a winner at random—posting the results Friday. Shopbop has stylish clothing and accessories at every price point. On the cheap--I LOVE these Madewell gunmental earrings, which would look quite fetching with this Alexander Wang Jess handbag (she says while slobbering on her keyboard).

xoxo

  2. The gunmetal earrings link doesn't work thanks to you slobbering all over it. I just discovered gunmetal slides I think I bought 6 years ago? They look a lot more appealing now than they apparently did 6 years ago when I slobbered all over and aisle and bought them.

    What in the fuck am I talking about?

    So... am I enrolled in the giveaway or was I supposed to go somewhere else? HELP! I want gun metal.

  7. SB Baby! You know I love me a good giveaway. (I've even won a few.)

    How about this one:

    She gives me love, love, love, love.
    Crazy love.
    She gives me love, love, love, love.
    Crazy.
    Crazy love.
    And now I have to buy my kid a new rabbit.
    (name that movie!)

  16. IS MY FACE RED OR WHAT? (I seriously have a caps lock issue going on)

    I went to the SB website and they have really trillions of gorgeous stuff. I'm going to write them and ask if I can move into their store.

    Strawberry preserves is a fruit, right?

  18. i'm considering making my own valentines this year, using those. if for no other reason than i have no "valentine" again this year and people (gross generalization of course) kind of suck.

    also, SB because no one else will buy me jewelry.

    SB and Ann will soon be going all the way!!!

    Okay I tried.

    :-)

    I better win or I will be so pissed.
    ReplyDelete
  28. Just say SB? Ok. That's worth a bushel and a peck, or at least a hug around the neck.
    ReplyDelete
  30. SB!!!

    Loved the valentines...
    ReplyDelete
  31. Oooh..I've never visited shopbop before today! Looks great! :)
    ReplyDelete
  32. SB!

    Merely coincidence that SB also stands for SOCK BALLS? God, I hope so!!!
    ReplyDelete
  33. SB, and you are so awesome for doing a give away. I think I am going to do one soon.
    ReplyDelete
  34. SSSSSSSSBBBBBBBBBBBBB.

    ReplyDelete

    That too.

  36. I am not funny, but I want to win. Can I win if Im not funny? SB

  37. KCH's poem is excellent. I sing the bushel and a peck song to my kids all the time. In our house the lyrics are: "I love you, a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck, a hug around the neck and a la-de-da-dee-dum..." because that's as far as I ever learned. And yet, I can't seem to get that song out of my head. *sigh* (And I'd love to win the SB giveaway.)
    ReplyDelete
  38. Ohhhhh, SB all the way. 'Cause dang, I loves me some ShopBop.
    ReplyDelete
  39. I don't even know what SB is, but i want me some!
    ReplyDelete
  40. I love me some bs. I MEAN SB.

  41. sb (if i say i thought those were funny, does it disqualify me since i didn't follow your rules? 'cause they were funny.)
    ReplyDelete
  42. Finally, someone has brought the romance back to Valentine's Day. Thank you Ann.
    ReplyDelete
  43. I have always been partial to a card that says:

    You were second choice. Happy Valentines Day.
    ReplyDelete
  44. "SB" too bad I'm not that clever to think of one for my ex... LOL
