Jen posted this picture on her blog the other day and it totally cracked me up. It pretty much sums up how I feel about stereotypical Valentine's Day gift giving. In general, I think I'm okay about this day, but I do insist on calling it Shmalentine's Day. This picture still makes me laugh though.
**How do you feel about today?**

That is HYSTERICAL!!
I feel good about how our family decided to do gifts this V Day - handmade and a family dinner at home.
While at the library this a.m. for Luci's book club, the librarian asked Luci if she had given me a Valentine yet. Luci replied, "No m'am. I am waiting for my OTHER mom to come home from work before we exchange Valentine's." I'm sure the old librarian is still wondering about that!
I love that one!
V-day is a little too "hallmark" for me...but I love to do something special, from the heart when I can!
i love it! i'm on a one woman campaign to help people get over their anti-valentine's sentiments.
I HATEd valentines as a pre teen/teen---
so I am determined to make it a special family day.
I love it now :)
that card is HILarIous !!!
That card trumps all funny cards out there!
I really embraced Valentines Day this year--I guess because my kids are getting to be a bit older--they seem to appreciate things a little more (I use the words "a little more" loosely). I'm still working with them on some majorly needed social skills like "please" and "thank you"
I don't usually do much for Brian...I always felt like is a day for the guys to give to us--Is that wrong?
I think anything is funny with an "Shm" added to it...So Happy Shmalentines Day it is!
I like today. I got to sleep in, went on a date, made and delivered some valentine treats. A good day!
Hee hee! I will forever associate you & shmalentine's with this day!
That is stinkin' funny!
Today was my catch up day - heart attacked each boy's door and gave them a treat.
That is how I totally felt about v-day growing up. Now a days v-day is about our family. Jason and I don't make a big deal about it for each other. We always do a dinner at home and give little gifts for the kids. We save our lovey dovey stuff and nice gifts for our anniversary. Although Jason does always give me flowers for v-day and that is about it.
Funny then and funny now....totally cracks me up!!!
Ha ha ha! That is hilarious! Someone sent my mom that one today too and it totally cracked me up!
Oh that card is so funny. I love that v-day landed on a 3 day weekend :)
I have no problems with the day. We don't go overboard or anything, usually a card with sweet sentiments and dinner at home. I love how excited and kissey Mya gets over the day though.
I SO needed something funny - thank you for making me laugh out loud!
Hi Jill,
I have a question about your "Good Mail". What is the best and most inexpensive way to send good mail that doesn't fit into a envelope? You know like candy, $1 items from Target and the dollar store and such?
You would be proud of me I sent two good mail things this week...woo hoo! It made me feel so good! I want to do more. I am a decorative stamper and love to make cards and things...I read your good mail posts and I just wonder do you have any tricks for economical sending of good mail...thanks a million!

Valentine's is not so much a big day for us. But we had a nice dinner with our family...lots of red on the table.
The card on your blog is hilarious!

Hahahaha! I LOVE it! (The picture, not Shmalentine's Day. I think of it as Singles Awareness Day.)
So funny! Great graphic!
