What did you get for V Day?
I got a nifty little one-piece USB dual speaker thing for my laptop.

And some hyacinths.

If of they mortal goods thou art bereft,
And from thy slender store
Two loaves alone to thee are left,
Sell one and with the dole
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.

1. Nothing. Wasn't going to reply with something so negative, but didn't
want your thread to sink with zero replies. :)

Note that we don't think it is negative here.

19. I already used it
I am short so finding jeans in hard, but BR alters stuff for free. And their petite button downs fit like a dream.

10. nothing but grief from my roommates...
I have classes, a paper to finish by Thursday and not much money, yet I'm the mean one because I don't want to drop everything I'm doing to go out and spend a lot of money at a restaurant for lunch with them! Some days I wish I lived alone!

15. you don't want to know...
seriously. I had to get a lip abscess drained at the ER this morning. :puke:

My fiancee, on the other hand (aside from me being home during the day) - got her favorite candy (Turtles) and will get to go out to dinner for her favorite meal (steak and beer).

16. Earrings and a new black belt
I originally got a ring I wanted from Target, but after a week the damn gemstone fell out so I returned it. Today I picked up a $3 pair of silver hoop earrings and a black belt so I don't have to wear hubby's every Friday. My 50 dollar gift dropped to $15 but I really like what I got!

Oh, and I'll get a card and laid when I get home from work. (tee hee)

30. My husband brought home a candle in one of my favorite scents...
to add to the collection I use when I take a bubble bath. He also brought me a bottle of wine, which I thought was funny - I gave him a bottle of wine too!
