Cheap undies and bad chocolate

Feb 4th 2008RachelG
RachelGOn Writing!

It’s February. That time of year when we’re supposed to celebrate love, but not everyone loves Valentine’s day. I don’t hate it. I’m just not a huge fan. So in recognition of those who might not love the day set aside to honor love, I present Rachel Gibson‘s top ten reasons why Valentine’s day sucks:

10) Red is a bad color on you. It clashes with the red in your eyes.
9) All the best restaurants are filled with couples. Forcing you to actually cook.
8.) Married friends try to set you up with thrice divorced loser with bad hair and no teeth under the misguided assumption that any Valentine’s day date is better than no date.
7) Your one single friend abandons you for thrice divorced loser believing any date on Valentine’s day is better than no date.
6) Fake flowers. Nothing says “I love you” like a silk carnation from Seven Eleven.
5) Cheap chocolate. Enough said.
4) Stuffed animals. You’re over the age of twelve. What are you supposed to do with a stuffed kitty holding a heart pillow?
3) Singing telegrams. No one should subject the person they love to Albert Morris’ “Feelings.” That’s just mean.
2) Cheap/tawdry undies in a size two. You haven’t been a size two since junior high.
1) The expectation of cheap/tawdry sex after the presentation of size two undies.

What is your worst Valentine’s day memory? Can you add to the Valentine’s day sucks list? Or are you one of those people who loves getting singing telegrams and tawdry undies?

    I for one love stuffed animals, but I am going to ignore Valentine’s this year. Valentines sucks. I hate Valentine’s. I think only 10 year old’s that have never had a broken heart find it great.

    I ban all things Valentines! It doesn’t exist this year.

    My husband was born on Valentine Day. We have been separated for 17 years, the marriage is working out much better this way. I don’t give Valentines, I give them back!
    I do however accept chocolate whatever the reason!
    Size 2 undies?? For my 3 year old grand-daughter maybe.

  3. Freedom Writer on 04 Feb 2008 at 7:25 am #

    Valentine’s Day is not big on my list. I like stuffed animals, roses, good chocolates, and going out to dinner, but I like to spread these types of gifts and good times throughout the whole year not just on one day when it seems that the prices on all the above mentioned things cost more. As for the size 2 undies, they wouldn’t fit my big toe, and even if I received these types of garments in my size I would be too embarrassed to wear them. And if these cheap tawdry undies would include a thong, forget about it. How can anyone look at a thong and think, now that looks like something I’d like to wear?

    Mmm, a thong, comfy and sexy. Yeah, right!

    Oooh. Rachel, I’m with you. I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day, either. We’re doing dinner, but nothing else. And nothing fancy, either.

    I love spontaneous romance. That’s the way it’s supposed to be and not ‘Ok, at 7 pm on February 14, I’m going to give you a card and roses because I’m supposed to.” That’s baloney.

    As for my worst V-gift, my ex stopped by a gas station once an got me a plastic rose and a card that had two very elderly people on it and said something like ‘Even though we’ve both had some problems lately –”

    Yeah, romantic, wasn’t it? PPPHHHHHBBBBTTTTT!

    (Btw, CONGRATS to the Giants fans out there! Good game!)

  5. Lisa H on 04 Feb 2008 at 8:06 am #

    Sorry, ladies, but I’m a fan of Valentine’s Day. It happens to be my anniversary and this year will be 15 years.

    I figured if my anniversary and Valentine’s Day were both on the same day, there’d be no way I wouldn’t get flowers…I’ve only received them twice though!!!

    I love trashy undies and although I’m not a chocolate fan, I love getting it for my kids. THey all get a red bag filled with Valentines candy and a card from Mom and Dad.

    My girlfriends all get Captain Jack valentines from me whether they like them or not! :)

    This year my husband is getting a watch and hopefully I can think of something else. Any ideas ladies?

  6. cail on 04 Feb 2008 at 8:12 am #

    i like the idea of recognizing someone you love for v-day, but hate the fact that it’s become so commercial. the bf and i will be cooking a romantic dinner together. no presents. although the cutie got me beautiful flowers for no reason yesterday. that’s the way i like it.

    you can give me chocolate any day.

    Lisa H— maybe hand made ‘i owe yous’ with coupons for massages, dinner etc.

  7. Gillian on 04 Feb 2008 at 8:36 am #

    It’s a kid’s holiday in this house. We’ll make heart shaped pizza and watch Winnie the Pooh valentines or Charlie Brown’s Valentine–which is just perfect! I’ll save the romance for our anniversary, thanks, or just one morning when I don’t have to get up at 5:30 to let out the dog….. ;)

  8. One Happy Giants Fan on 04 Feb 2008 at 8:50 am #

    I love Valentine’s Day because I always get a box of Godiva chocolates!!!!
    What’s not to love about that???

    SuzyQ (bleary eyed this morning after last night’s awesome game)

  9. KariE on 04 Feb 2008 at 9:02 am #

    I WISH I fit into size two panties in junior high. My two had a one in front of it.
    Anyway, I’m not a fan of Valentines Day either. I think it’s the feeling of being obligated to get someone something that spoils it for me. If you love me so much then show me the love any other day of the year.
    I can’t think of anything to add to the list yet. But I must agree with the stuffed animals. Mine end up being dog toys.

  10. SnikWhite on 04 Feb 2008 at 9:51 am #

    I am one of those cynical chicks that thinks that V-day is simply a holiday generated by the greeting card and candy companies to increase profits. Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of romance, but seriously, if you only do it once a year, why bother to do it at all. Besides, I can’t remember one V-day where the day ended well. Bitter? Nah, that’s just the after taste of cheap chocolate ;)

  11. KariE on 04 Feb 2008 at 9:59 am #

    Aww Sniky, you got your pipes fixed last V-Day. That’s got to account for something.

  12. SnikWhite on 04 Feb 2008 at 10:08 am #

    LOL that’s true Kari! And if I would have gone to bed right after you left, the day may have ended well. Instead I made the mistake of answering a phone call…this year I think I may leave my phone off.

  13. Claudia Dain on 04 Feb 2008 at 10:08 am #

    I feel the same way about Valentine’s Day that I do about Mother’s Day and Father’s Day—it’s a forced reminder to do something nice for the one you love. If you have to be forced, well, I guess you have to be forced. But a forced bouquet of flowers is better than no flowers at all.

    Mercenary? Me?

  14. Karen Hawkins on 04 Feb 2008 at 10:19 am #

    Pipes fixed? (looks of stunned deer) I’m not sure I know what they means though I’m pretty sure I don’t want to!

    I have to admit that I don’t mind getting prezzies. I just like the unscheduled ones the best. :) And I’ll take flowers, chocolate, or jewelry any old day of the year.

    I guess I’m not such a Scrooge McValentine’s after all.

  15. KariE on 04 Feb 2008 at 10:23 am #

    LOL KarenH. My dh is a plumber and Sniky had a leaky pipe. Does sound kinda kinky, doesn’t it?

  16. Alice Audrey on 04 Feb 2008 at 10:40 am #

    I don’t think I ever went out for Valentines when I was sigle. In fact, I kind of forgot about it. Now my dh gets all melty about it and gives me flowers and baloons. Maybe I should give him something this year. Besides a year’s forth of dish duty, I mean.

  17. RachelG on 04 Feb 2008 at 10:46 am #

    Mr. G used to be really bad at giving me gifts I’d never wear. The worst was some sort of bad stripper teddy. I think he was a little disappointed that I didn’t like it. He’s gotten a lot better over the years.

  18. Freedom Writer on 04 Feb 2008 at 10:48 am #

    A year’s worth of dish duties, I give that to my DH every Christmas. For his birthday I give him a year’s worth of laundry duties. And for our Anniversary he gets a year’s worth of vacuuming duties. He loves doing housework, and I love giving them up just for him.

  19. KariE on 04 Feb 2008 at 10:59 am #

    Are you serious Freedom Writer???
    I’d get a years worth of grief if I tried that.

  20. Kim on 04 Feb 2008 at 11:18 am #

    Oh man, LisaH, I think you and I are kindred spirits. *g* I love Valentine’s day. Yes, it is a holiday created by Hallmark and you should have romance all year long but why not have both? I look at it as a day to celebrate that love you have all year long and a great excuse for a box of chocolates ;)

    Our wedding anniversary is a few days after V-day so we usually just go out to dinner once by ourselves with no kidlet.

    The worst V-day gift I’ve ever given; I bought a whole bag of Hershey’s Kisses just to give my boyfriend (now DH) ONE kiss. LOL. 20 years later and I still hear about it. sheez. I didn’t want to give him a lot of kisses, just one AND I was only 16 at the time. I thought it was romantic.

  21. PJ on 04 Feb 2008 at 11:20 am #

    I can only remember getting flowers for Valentines one time, my Senior year of high school. The flowers were beautiful and it was very romantic. Unfortunately, they were from a summer boyfriend that I hadn’t seen in two years and the current boyfriend wasn’t amused…at all.

    The dh wasn’t big on “required” holidays so I got a Vday card but that was it. Not that I ever complained because I got more than my fair share of goodies on those “just because I love you” days. To me, they meant a lot more than anything I might have gotten on designated gift-giving days.

  22. Paula on 04 Feb 2008 at 11:26 am #

    I’m not big on Valentines day but usually (ie the last couple of years!!) my DH and 2 boys have each given me flowers = 3x lots of flowers, which is really sweet. The boys faces are a picture and they think it’s great. Last year my then 6year old got 7 valentines from girls at school, boy was he embarrassed!

  23. PJ on 04 Feb 2008 at 11:28 am #

    My Valentines nowadays are reserved for the young and the elderly. All the little people in my life get cute Valentine cards from me and I make stuff for the nurses in the CCU where I volunteer and the folks at the local nursing home who never get visits from their families.

    The Valentines I receive come from the young ‘uns and I usually get at least one stuffed animal. That’s okay by me. I’m of the “you can never have too many stuffed animals” mind-set.

  24. RachelG on 04 Feb 2008 at 11:29 am #

    I love fresh cut flowers and have them in my house all year. So getting flowers isn’t a big deal.

    PJ, I got flowers from an old boyfriend my senior year in high school, too. He was a bit of a stalker so the flowers were creepy rather than romantic.

    Thong undies. Tried them once. Never again. Enough said.

  25. PJ on 04 Feb 2008 at 11:29 am #

    A couple years ago, the husband of one of the CCU nurses sent her a singing Valentine. In the middle of a grueling 12-hour shift she was called out of the unit by the nurse supervisor and met by a tuxedo-clad barbershop quartet who presented her with a rose then serenaded her. I thought it was very romantic. The nurses rolled all the mobile patients out of their rooms to enjoy the serenade and, even better, after the quartet finished singing for the nurse they went to the rooms of the patients who couldn’t be moved and serenaded them.

  26. PJ on 04 Feb 2008 at 11:31 am #

    RachelG, thankfully mine wasn’t a stalker. How scary!

  27. RachelG on 04 Feb 2008 at 11:37 am #

    Oh oh!! I forgot about the Valentines exchange in grade school. I loved those all those little cards with conversation hearts in them. Mostly I loved the conversation hearts. There was always the anonymous cards that said, “I hate you.” And you’d spend days doing covert handwriting analysis trying to figure out who sent that one.

    4) Stuffed animals. You’re over the age of twelve. What are you supposed to do with a stuffed kitty holding a heart pillow?

    I can’t tell you how much I agree with this. People are always giving me stuffed animals. I assume it’s because I don’t have any. The only stuffed animal I have ever used for anything was a stuffed Snoopy in a Santa Claus suit, and I had my guinea pigs pose with it, then washed it and gave it to the goodwill. I might have also tried putting the hat on Woodstock. But enough about my animal abuse, let’s move on to why I think VD sucks.

    -VD is considered the holiday that if you don’t have anyone, you’re automatically a loser. I understand that I am probably a loser, but I don’t need a fake “romantic” holiday to rub it in.

    -The true story of St. Valentine is actually really cool, but totally burried under cards, chocolates, promises you don’t intend to keep and mounds of stinky potpourri.

  29. Kay on 04 Feb 2008 at 12:00 pm #

    Rachel, I LMAO reading your list. Too funny. At least you can keep a sense of humor about it. #’s 8 & 7 were the best. It reminded me MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, when Tula’s father is trying to set her up.

    I love Valentine’s Day. DH gave me my engagement ring 19 years ago on V Day. He works weird hours, so we celebrate sometime the week around the 14th. Usually it’s lunch. He & the kids give me flowers–usually tulips or stargazer lillies–and that’s a perfect way to celebrate for me.

    My kids are still young enough to enjoy the day. The kids make their Valentines for school, and we all have fun doing that. I love to cook, so I make heart-shaped brownies (I have a cool pan) and we have a RED & PINK breakfast (strawberry muffins, strawberry banana smoothies & ham steak) and they love it. BTW, I do GREEN EGGS & HAM for St. Pat’s Day. :-)

  30. krystal on 04 Feb 2008 at 12:02 pm #

    I love the whole idea of a day set aside for romance, but personally I find that getting flowers or a card that says “I Love You” much more meaningful when it’s completely out of the blue rather than on a certain day, usually at a certain time.

    My boyfriend and I have been together for 6 years and we’ve only spent one Valentine’s Day together and that one didn’t even really turn out that well. We spent the night fighting and were barely on speaking terms by the time the night was over.

    This year will be the second Valentine’s Day we’ll spend together. Hopefully, this one will go better than the first one.

    If it doesn’t I think that I might have to start boycotting Valentine’s Day.

  31. cail on 04 Feb 2008 at 12:28 pm #

    i remember in grade school being very excited when a little boy i was crushing on signed his valentine ‘love.’ i was so excited. then i realized he did them all like that.

    one of my most memorable v-days recently was actually when i went out with my roommate in college for lunch at a fancy NY restaurant then saw a romantic comedy together. best single valentines day ever.

    my feeling is that as long as you’re not expecting the time of your life every valentines day, your day will be fun. i’ve never had a bad one yet and don’t plan on it ever.

  32. anneriailin on 04 Feb 2008 at 12:41 pm #

    What is this Valentine’s Day you speak of? Ohhhh….you are probably referring to what I call ‘Singles Awareness Day’!! It really makes a single person aware of their single status.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love the romance angle, but I am one of those that thinks it shouldn’t be just one day a year. It’s the little everyday things that mean the most. IMHO

    Love your list, Rachel, LOL.

    Good heavens, a size 2? I’m not sure I’ve ever worn a size that small except maybe during puberty.

    Dh and I don’t usually do V day coz we celebrate our wedding aniv two weeks before that. But it’s fun to see what all the other goddesses do!

  34. Lisa H on 04 Feb 2008 at 1:09 pm #

    Zambonigirl - I don’t think you’re a loser. There’s nothing wrong with being single!

    Kim- Yes, I’ve sensed we may be kindred spirits. I like to tell the people in my life they are special to me and Valentines Day is a good reminder day to do that. I loved having my wedding on VD. Most people expected the usual red and white, but ours was ivory and burgandy and I thought it was very elegant and unusual. We also were married on a Sunday, as that was the day VD fell on. All the halls were available although we paid double for our flowers! :)

    LOL about the “one kiss” Hey, a woman needs her chocolate!

  35. Sherri Browning Erwin on 04 Feb 2008 at 1:53 pm #

    I embarrassed myself on my first Valentine’s Day with my now-husband. He sent me roses every month for our first year together. Every month! But for our first Valentine’s Day- nothing. I kept expecting something. I gave him chocolates (good ones). And he just said “oh yeah, thanks, happy valentine’s day.” I whined that he didn’t get me anything (such a brat!). He shrugged and said he thought it was a “Hallmark holiday” and nothing to really get excited about because he loves me every day. Me- spoiled brat- got upset with him.

    And he went home and came back to see me later with a gorgeous homemade valentine filled with many verses of the many ways he loved me. I was so touched that I cried and I realized what a big jerk I was. I kept it for years and then my SIL went through my stuff and threw it away (lucky for me, I wasn’t the biggest witch of my husband’s acquaintance- haha). Now we go out for a nice dinner every Valentine’s Day and I usually make him a card (my penance).

  36. SnikWhite on 04 Feb 2008 at 2:42 pm #

    Anneriailin - I laughed my larger than sized 2 hiney off when I read your “single awareness day” post. Cause truly, there are few things that bring it more into focus than this particular holiday! Thanks for the laugh!!

    Sincerely,

    Supple-Seated & Single

    Kay, I love your red and pink breakfast! And green eggs and ham, so fun! Neat idea.

    The best gifts happen all year. Just last Saturday, Mr. G took me on a picnic. Now, it was 20 degrees outside and snowing, so we ate in the car. I wore my sweats, my hair was in a ponytail, and I had on my Uggs. It was a great day.

    Kay, I love stargazer lillies. I like to always have vases filled with them in my house at all time.

    I fall in the “whats the big deal about V-Day” category. The part I hate - having to get both kids to sign their names on a combined 50 V-day cards for all the kids in their classes.

    DH and I work in the same building and have lunch together nearly every day. For anniversaries and v-day we go out for lunch to a nicer place than usual.
    I have forbidden any gifts - not b’coz I don’t want to get them but b’coz I have NO idea what to get him.

    I embarrassed him at work once (when he worked far away) and sent him flowers on v-day. :-) He said the receptionist was giving him “the look” and then he had to walk with the flowers all the way to his office.
    I thought it was hilarious!! ;-)

  40. Emmiebee on 04 Feb 2008 at 4:30 pm #

    Love it. Love it. Love, love, sticky chocolate fingers love it. I have had to come to grips that underneath my cranky nature, I’m a disgusting romantic, after all. I glow like the Grinch when his heart grows three sizes that day on ole St. Val’s day. I love pink and red, candy hearts, victorian cards, the excuse for flowers, candy, dinner out, the whole repulsive package. However, I love all of this malarkey all year round- so I wear my heart shaped earings, pink sweaters, etc. whenever. I will not be restricted to one day a year! Bring on the love (but you can keep the micro-mini lace panties, thanks)!

    Has anyone else pondered the initials? V.D. I’m just asking, because I’d rather get a case of VD than to suffer through the forced commercialism of Valentine’s Day. There are SO MANY more important times that my DH and I show our love. Usually, it is most meaningful when it is least expected.

    My DH wins the worst and best VD gift ever. My toilet seat was cracked on one side and would pinch your butt if you didn’t sit on it just right. I had the technique down to a science, but the DH was not quite as coordinated. I laughed every time I heard that surprised yelp come from the bathroom.

    For our first VD, he bought me a toilet seat that looked like a big mouth with huge red lips. He even attached it without me knowing.

    Boy did he laugh at the surprised yelp coming from the bathroom that night!

    A few years ago, I wrote a book, The Trouble With Valentine’s Day. The title of that book was always getting shortened to The Trouble With VD–which of course would have been an entirely different book than the one I wrote.

  43. SnikWhite on 04 Feb 2008 at 4:51 pm #

    OMG Ellen!!! I was SOOO close to posting something earlier about V.D. but decided that perhaps not everyone shares my slightly off kilter sense of humor!! LOL So glad to know I am not alone with my dirty mind!!

    Wonder how many VD’s get passed around on VD. I mean, I’m just saying.

    Since I’m not dating anyone, getting underwear would be freaky — size 2 would be flattering freaky, and anything else would just be regular freaky. *g*

  46. FreshEChelle on 04 Feb 2008 at 8:57 pm #

    I’m empty on Valentine horror stories (i’m no fan) but I’ve got to make a pitch for thongs. If you’ve only tried ‘em once, that not enough. They take 2 wearings to get used to them. Get the right size and you’ll be free of VPL forever. I can’t go back to regular underwear. I don’t care how huge my rear is, they’re not for sex appeal, they’re for comfort. I haven’t has my undies do the creep in the many years I’ve been wearing ‘em. Anyone with me on this?

  47. Santa on 04 Feb 2008 at 9:24 pm #

    My husband and I both think Valentine’s Day is a waste of time. We are supposed to show our love for one another every day of the year, not just one day a year. However, our kids think we are ’supposed’ to celebrate it otherwise we won’t know we love each other. That’s my six year old Banana Head talking. So this year we are giving each other those fun singing cards ’cause our kids get such a kick out of them. Their giggles and gaffaws are proof enough for us of our love.

  48. Kelly Ann on 04 Feb 2008 at 9:31 pm #

    I have fallen off my couch…..laughing so hard. I was thinking the same things about shortening it to VD. That would be a horror!

    I however, cannot believe all of you romance fans don’t like V-Day! I realize it’s commercialized, but still. I used to hate it because my ex-husband was a loser & I would receive those gas station presents and I always thought, don’t bother, just give me a back rub till I fall asleep & don’t think about touching me anywhere else for a change.

    Worst gift? Gas Station Undies that were shaped like a rose or was it the edible ones? I can’t remember, I’ve gotten both! Nothing says I love you like edible underware! Just kidding! That is not love ladies, it’s tacky (& sticky)! I would rather have a thong!

    Though my wonderful DH & I don’t make a big deal of it, I do like valentines and he always gets me something that I’ve really been wanting, even if it isn’t romantic. Last year it was an under the counter TV/DVD/CD player for the kitchen! LOVE IT

  49. Kelly Ann on 04 Feb 2008 at 9:35 pm #

    FreshEChelle - when I was younger I never made a move without a thong. They are comfortable. I don’t know why I stopped wearing them, probably because my butt’s gotten bigger! ha-ha!

  50. FreshEChelle on 04 Feb 2008 at 9:47 pm #

    Kelly Ann - thanks for making feel a little less alone. Sorry to buck the trend but thongs rule.

  51. doglady on 04 Feb 2008 at 10:35 pm #

    Sorry I am so late to the party! Rachel, I read your list before I headed out the door this AM and it had me laughing all the way to work. My late hubby and I used to give each other books for Valentine’s Day so I am rather fond of the memories of the holiday. I have a scrapbook of all of the cards he ever gave me, even the ones when we were dating. I still like to read them from time to time, often on Valentine’s Day. The older of my two baby brothers takes his role as the man in the family very seriously. As my mother and I are both widows he makes sure we both get flowers and GODIVA’s chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Sorry, ladies, he’s married to a really terrific gal who will tell you in a heartbeat she is very lucky. Should have seen the bling she got for Christmas - Eternity Diamonds - VERY NICE!! I happen to like stuffed animals, but they do have their own room to keep them safe from the marauders in the house - Frodo and Adelaide the dogs!

  52. Kelly Ann on 04 Feb 2008 at 10:47 pm #

    doglady, that is so sweet! I’m so glad you have wonderful memories of Valentines Day! Your brother is fabulous for having such a kind heart! He is a prince among men! I have 3 and none of them would be so thoughful!

  53. Sabrina Jeffries on 05 Feb 2008 at 12:11 am #

    What *I* hate as a writer is that every journalist in the world wants you to comment on romance at Valentine’s Day, as if we don’t exist during any other holiday. Sigh.

  54. bnickle on 07 Feb 2008 at 10:32 pm #

    Sabrina, my daughter is a sophomore in high school, and is on the school newspaper staff. She wrote an editorial for the paper last week, was assigned to write about Valentine’s day, from any point of view. She wrote a really perceptive (yeah, I’m her mom) column about how sad it is that we don’t celebrate EVERYDAY like it’s Valentine’s day, about how sad a comment it is that Hallmark has to nudge us once a year to express our hearts, when in small ways, it should be done every day.

    Yeah, I like her.
