Meatloaf has a valid argument

It's tricky coming up with masculine Valentine's day gift ideas. One year I just bought Matt a pair of shoes that he liked, stuffed them full of flowers and called them sporty vases.

This year I thought I was on to something clever, a cookie bouquet! True, it is mushie like a bouquet of posies, but that mushiness is tempered by its high caloric snackiness. This is perfection. What could possibly stop me from making this purchase?!


`
The answer to that question is a price tag of $73.98!

What the hell? We're only talking nine cookies here sister! NINE!
`

In quoting the great Meatloaf, as I am often wont to do, I would do anything for love . . . but I won't do that.
`

(Or suck toes, I won't do that either).
`

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! May your homemade cookies be tasty and affordable.

that's crazy talk. you can make those cookies, wrap them, and ship them yourself for $30. And have WAY better messages.

I'm getting my hubby an Amazon.com gift certificate -- it fits like a glove, every time.

Two Words: Beef Jerky.

It worked when my wife gave it to me.
