Of Strings and Sweets
Ladies and gentlemen. It is my pleasure to announce a successful Valentine's Day weekend. There was dinner and swing/ballroom dancing to a 16 piece band, all with the finest friends. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea--Kirk Douglas was quite a stud. There were two versions of Jane Eyre (yes I do appreciate the book and countless remakes.)
Of course, what the day be without gifts? Yes friends, sometimes the best gift is the one you give yourself.
It's a handy-dandy brand new little giant 12-string. Perfect for those performances where six strings just won't cut it and anything more would just be crazy.
I also made a stop by the local See's for yet another thoughtful gift.
Ok, I know what you're thinking... just a step above pathetic. I understand, but must respectfully disagree. I rather like my gifts to me... they're so much better a flaming bag of used dog food.
And now a word to the wise:
Oh, remember young men, flowers and other sincere gestures are to be used sparingly, lest you find the above mentioned flaming bag on your doorstep.

Hooray for your guitar. And hooray for Jane Eyre.
Sometimes you just need those gifts, doesn't matter who they are from. :)
Three amazing things in this post: guitars (including music video!!), chocolate, and Jane Eyre. A fourth if you include clever almost-devotional quotes.
I am assuming that you once got flaming dog food as a present, or know of someone who did. I love stories. Do tell.

No, never an actual bag, just a threat once :-)
