Tightwad Assignment – Valentine’s Day

0130_0005TightwadAssignment(February 13, 2009) – I suppose this one goes in the maybe category – maybe you can get away with it.  Instead of spending all that money on cards, flowers and gifts, why not surprise your honey with a hand-made gift?  O.K., hands down. The question was rhetorical.

If you’re brave enough to go on, here’s what to do.  Get some large red or pink foam sheets and one of those gold writing pens from the craft or office supply store and cut a large heart from each sheet.  (Guys – use scissors not your pocket knife.)  With the pen, write out a one or two word romantic message just like what was on those little candy hearts we got as kids.  Actually composing a romantic message is up to you.

And remember, if the florist has locked the doors and won’t answer the phone (or the grocery store is sold out) you can buy artificial silk roses at many discount stores.  Buy some ribbon and heavy paper to make a personalized card.  Maybe get some of that ribbon with the wire edge and make a bow.  Guys, if you whine and make your intentions known, maybe one of the ladies at the store will help you.

As I said, you’re on your own – this is a most dangerous day.
