Valentine's Day: Sweets for the Sweet

http://www.mrsfields.com/gifts/Happy-Valentines-Day-Cakie/10

Yep! It's that time of year again when people go fishing for a nice catch or throw what they caught back! Recently I found myself single at the beginning of the this year and first thing I thought was: Well I don't have to buy a gift this year. Selfish thought??? Naw not really...just a true statement. I don't have to buy any seikos, cologne or necklaces for a guy so what is a girl to do for the holiday?

Choice 1:
Sit at home in front of my TV eating Bon-Bons watching Lifetime Movie Network. (Where's my razor and bathtub now?) EEK!

Choice 2:
Go out to dinner by myself....EEK!

Choice 3:
Have a ladies night out with other single ladies. Get ripped and talk about how much the male species sucks.  Double EEK!

Choice 4:
Hangout with my two sons and do something special for them... Hmmmm... Much better and not desperate sounding at all!

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that one. I'd rather kick it anyday with my kids than the homies anyway. Plus they are so filled with energy there is no way you can sit and feel sorry for yourself. They make the best valentines because first off they don't cost that much and will appreciate even the little stuff I do for them. So it was decided this year they will be my valentines. So the next question was how do I make it special? Well go figure...A few weeks back I received a Mrs. Fields catalog in the mail because last year around this time I ordered my then sweetie cookies for Valentine's Day. At first glance, I cringed at the magazine because all the memories came back in one swoop. On my way to dump it in the trash I walked past my youngest son who immediately took notice. Like a one of the greatest plays in NFL history he intercepted the catalog and began to salivate. So I had him and his brother flip through it come to a decision about what they wanted for their special day.

Decisions... Decisions...

Well they took a couple of days but they agreed that a Valentine cookie cake would be awesome! So I ordered it and set the delivery date for Feb 14th. Got a cute card with a heartfelt message since my oldest can read now and felt like man thats what its really about... :o)

Anyways nuff about that. I provided a link to the website so if anyone wants ideas on how to make their valentine smile I'm sure this will do the trick!
