Valentine's Day 2011
Feb. 14th, 2011 08:55 amHappy Valentine’s Day to y’all. Caroline had her cards ready to go for the usual school ritual of card giving. Peter and I are going for a Romantic Lunch at a place we like to go. It is our third choice but the first two closed last year doggonit. And Peter got me the coolest Valentine’s Day present. It is the Jedi Path. I haven’t read the book yet but the snippets I have read are really neat. The packaging is a treat in itself. You push a button and the opening of case makes you feel like you are in the Star Wars universe. There is a video on Amazon of the case opening but it doesn’t do it justice.
I finished Ariel’s Costume and got Caroline’s down to a few Velcro pieces and snaps. The Wig is a little more than half done. I now have to go back and make more plugs for it since I apparently under estimated how much I needed. I am hoping (ha-ha-ha) to have that all done by the end of today since tomorrow is Toy Fair Day for me.
I have some really mixed feelings about Valentine’s day especially after I read the Saint’s Life about St. Valentine. It is rather violent and sad. Iin the Middle Ages it changed to romantic love in the courtly love tradition (think Lancelot and Guinevere). That kind of faded until the Victorian Era where it became much more like the holiday we have today with the exchange of cards and tokens. But it started with a rather gruesome martyrdom.
I am grateful for hair that behaves.
