February 14

Ahhhh... Valentine's Day.

What a fun day for me to check the mail and find that Cupid's Helper (also known as Michelle Beal) had sent me a little V-Day prize!

She sent me a fun (by which I mean: chocolate) filled padded envelope. There were (I counted them) 24 hand-written kiddie valentine cards complete with heart-shaped stickers and creative names in the "To" and "From" fields. Examples:

To: The Great Laurie - From: The Great Gonzo
To: Vous - From: Moi (it was a Miss Piggy card - I laughed - out loud)

(Yeah, they were mostly Muppet-themed Valentines, with some Charlie Brown thrown in for good measure.)

Cupid's Helper was sure to include personalized gifts and love letters from some of my favorite celebrity boyfriends.

Behold:



To: Laurie Lou - From: Castle Poo (I WISH!)



Mmmmmm... Batman.



Who doesn't love an inscribed photo/love letter from Bruce Wayne? (Also, "Bat-entine"? LOL!)



And what may well have been my favorite thing in the whole package:



I. Love. Dan.



There's a real shortage of sweet and hilarious widowers in the world people. Dan's brother Mitch? Oh, there are a bunch of Mitches out there... I've let a lot of them buy me dinner, so I should know. But Dan? He's a one in a million. I'd let him buy me a planet-sized blueberry muffin and tell me stories about his Bonanza lunchbox any day. Amen.
