Is today a holiday or somethin'?

Happy LoveyDoveyKissKiss Day, peoples!

As I sickeningly gushed about yesterday, Glenn Coco and I already had our lovebird celebration, so we'll be spending tonight chuggin' sippin' on wine, cleaning out the DVR list, and likely snuggling with our dog in bed by 10:00. Wooweeee, we sure do drop it like it's hot!

And as we fall asleep to the sleep sound app on my iPhizzle, there's always a chance I'll have a violent nightmare, as I often do. And my hope and prayer on this Day of Love, is that my Glenn Coco Valentine will cuddle me up and tell me "there, there, nightmares be gone." 

Mama cat style.

If you're not screaming "AWWWWWWW" right now, you don't even deserve the bad-flavored conversation hearts today.

{That's a joke ~ all of them are bad flavors. Because they're actually made of chalk and poop.}

But I'll tell ya, what I'm reallllllly gunnin' for this V-Day is one of these suckers. Though cats are cute, ^ duh, this pup looks like he could really get the party poppin'.

Something about the two-leggedness is legitimately trippin' me out.

But for serious, people?! These are a thing? This is 2013 and these are a thing. I give up. 

But still may kinda want one, because drunky Lex would likely get a big kick out of a dancin'-to-the-beat stuffed dog.

And because I love y'all so much, and sadly can't afford to send all of you a rockin' stuffed animal for Valentine's Day, I've got an even better gift for you today. Helene from Helene in Between is takin' over to share an only-in-Helene's-life-would-this-actually-happen Valentine's Day story!  Gangsta Lene was my first blog friend turned real friend, she's one of the funniest people I know, and I truly love her to pieces. I know you will, too!

Hey all you lovely Southern Living, Our Way Readers! I'm Helene and you can find me over at Helene in Between. I'm a big fan of Alexa, and so happy I found her through this crazy blogging world. I imagine Alexa and Glenn Coco are nestled together celebrating Valentine's Day in their cute coupley way right now. Probably passing each other love notes under the table. Makes me sick.

I mean I'm married and everything - but you know what we're doing tonight?

We are spending Valentine's day with a bunch of friends and playing board games.

Don't worry, I'll be drinking.

It's Valentine's Day, Our Way.

{Did you see what I did there? It's her blog title but with Valentine's Day. OK, cool.} 

But don't you worry, we've had our fair share of great Valentine's Days. Like the time he pretended the flowers were for me when they were really his mom's. You can read about that story here. 

Michael really has been a good Valentine occasionally. 

This story takes place wayyyy back in time, around 2005. 

You see, this was a very important Valentine's Day, because his mom had recently caught us doing "the No Pants Dance." Basically she caught us making out and I might not have had pants on. And I was super embarrassed to be around her. 

So Michael really wanted to make this a special Valentine's Day by having me over to his house and cooking a meal.

Well, I was very excited to have my boyfriend cook for me. 

He really went out of his way. 

He got rose petals and put them all over the table.

He cooked shrimp and scallops over angel hair pasta.

He made homemade bread.

It was awesome. 

Then we settled on the couch to watch The Notebook.

Perfect.

But, just as we start watching the movie, his mom creeps into the room (she has a way about doing that). 

And she looks at us and says, "Don't get too close, I'm watching, too," and proceeds to sit on the couch and watch the movie with us.

Michael and I look at each other in fear, because we have no idea what to do but go with it.

And she just sits there. 

And when the sex scene plays she says, "Don't let this happen to you," and leaves the room.

I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.

By now shes *hopefully* gotten over it, but I still will never let Michael get too touchy-feely with me when she's around.

What a great Valentine's Day. 

I just realized all of these pictures are of my side profile. So I guess you'll have to stop by and say hi sometime! And see the front of my face!
