Valentine’s Day

I’m making cookies for my students for Valentine’s Day tomorrow.  Even though they are 8th graders, they are begging me to have a Valentine’s Day party tomorrow.  They will use any excuse to have a party.  I know my Principal would not be happy if I had a party so I’m not doing it.  However, I decided to make some chocolate chip cookies for them (break and bake, not from scratch!).  Anyway, break and bake cookies got me thinking about the cutest thing a guy ever did for me on a first date.  He came to pick me up and he brought me some homemade cookies.  At least he claimed they were homemade but they looked a little too perfect.  I suspected they were break and bake… but either way, I thought that was a really original idea.  The date was all downhill from there.  He proceeded to talk about his married brother how he couldn’t imagine being married or having kids (a little background info… this dude is 38 years old).  Not that I was looking to get married but, dude…. if you’re afraid of marriage and kids at 38 its time to get a grip on life.  THEN he started talking about how he hardly ever turns on his heat in the winter because its like throwing money out the window.  Wow, afraid of commitment AND cheap.  What a catch.
