Valentine's Day

Ah, what do you get a girl who has been in your life for nearly a decade? How do you express your feelings when your writing skills have gone to hell? Why, with a song. Not mine, of course. She's already heard my nine minute opus on waffles. No, with other people's words. It's very sweet, if you could hear it. Imagine the brilliance. Believe it or not, all the songs make perfect sense for us. And there are two that refer almost directly to our first few dates. And her favorite breakfast food that I make.

What did she get me? A monkey mixed with a pony. But she may have used too many monkeys. But that's okay. It's enough that she ruined a pony for me.

The girls made me awesome cards.
