Hi! It’s me! Lily!!!
Have you ever stopped to think what a weird word “February” is?
It’s a weird word!!!
But every word is weird if you say it enough. Like “Thank”. What a weird word that is!!!
Anyway, today was Valentine’s day.
I had to think a lot about what to get Jack. My thinker got sore. Sabby’s no help. Dave’s no help. Beth just smirked. I even asked Grace! She said “give him legos”. Which, actually, I bet he’d like, but it’s not a great romantic gift.
And what’s worse is, I don’t really think he cares all that much. I mean, he wants to get something from me, but I’m sure he would prefer that it be from the heart rather than something I just buy him because I can’t think of anything else. He’s pretty cool that way.
There is that purple thing Liz bought me as a prank a couple Christmases ago, but… if I wear that for him, I’m not telling you! Besides, it looks like it’d be really hard to put on. They sure don’t make those things for convenience, do they!
I could think of a few things he’d probably really like in that vein, but… no. No no no.
So… I had an idea. I don’t know if it was the best idea, but it was a pretty good idea.
I got him a very big teddy bear. You know, the ones at the costco that are bigger than I am? I got one of those, and I made it smell like me. I gave it a bit of bodywash and a bit of hair product and a bit of that perfume he likes so much – seriously, it drives him nuts. I put it in a big box, with a note that said simply “When you’re missing me, hug Lily the Bear”.
He… loved it. He gave the bear a big hug, then he gave me a big hug and a kiss, and said it was perfect.
Then the silly-billy gave me a necklace. It had a pretty heart on it with the word “forever”.
I melted.
Awww.
I thought the cake was his gift, but no, that was a decoy gift.
I’ll never understand boys sometimes. They treat romance like a war.
Hahaha!!!
So we did do that double date. It was nice. Liz’s boyfriend was just a tiny bit jealous of how hot Jack is, until she explained that he’s her cousin. Then he relaxed a bit. He seems a little insecure. But he does treat her well, he gave her a nice gift for Valentine’s day, too. She gave him one back, and a kiss. It’s really strange to see Liz kiss someone, but.. I’m glad she’s happy.
Boy can really pack the food away, though. Haha!!!
Okay! I’m tired.
