And honestly, the whole world is so exhausting right now, I'm glad to have the excuse not to do more than that. We've been stressed to the eyeballs since about June, when all the crazy shit on top of the pandemic started, then rolled right into the batshit insane politics. We don't need more of this societal pressure to consume and fuck when we probably don't feel much like it anyway.
I'm definitely on page "Fuck this guy and his Parisian cafe."
(This from a guy who loves Thanksgiving and holidays in general. But it's logical to synchronize those dates since the festivities are done as a family or community. Vamlumtimes is supposed to be one-on-one, so we may as well do it on a day when not everyone else is.)
We will help ourselves to that day-after discount candy though.
A few weeks ago, I suggested to my wife that we should try hotdogs cut up in the mac'n'cheese. The face she made was exactly the same as if I had suggested I put my "hotdog" in her "mac'n'cheese".
I don't know what that means.

Ah those were the days
It's fairly easy to not compare myself to others. It's more difficult to get others to stop judging me by those standards.
That sounds appealing. Are a lot of people doing that yet? Maybe I'll wait until it catches on...
For this Valentines, I am just making her some chocolate/peppermint covered Marshmallows at her request, we are keeping it simple.
I'm just imagining you feasting on white truffle and pule mac and cheese. Laid in front of you by your servants on fine china, while you're wearing your fancy clothes.
(Pule is an expensive cheese. I had to google it for the joke, because I'm so uncultured that I think anything that's not in the sliced-and-bagged cheese aisle is expensive cheese.)
(I was going to figure out the equivalent for the hot dogs but I was afraid to google "high priced wieners".)
Mac and cheese with hot sausage cut up into it.
I dunno if they sell it in the US, but you can get a jar of what is just the cheese powder in Kraft Dinner. A few shakes of that for double cheese.

Decadent
And quite possibly disgusting? Hrmm
The same thing I do every Valentine's Day: drink heavily, try to stay away from anything that reminds me of the day, and quietly resent my friends with healthy, romantic, relationships.
They're Pinky, they're Pinky and the Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain,
Might go to the hardware store to get a new door latch.
That's the kind of valentine's day I prefer. Unfortunately my ex had different standards.
I walked around town in the slushy snow to get my wife some pokeballs because our son had wiped out her supply in pokemon go. We might watch a Nic Cage movie if we are feeling feisty.
