-Project Beltway - apparently people do pay attention to what they wear down here.

So, E and I didn't do Valentines Day this year. The snow didn't help, the fact that I may not have gone into my office, but I still worked all day, and the fact that I spent all day rescheduling SAT classes - all of that doesn't really add up to a romantic Wednesday night. Instead, we went out with two co-workers and split dessert. I still have the bottle of wine I bought for a minor V-Day project, and we'll plan that in some other night.
However, other people did have a fantastic Valentines Day. Top Model (from CityCat's lexicon) apparently had such a good V-Day that I should only hear about it when I'm sitting next to a trash can. CityCat herself had a nice dinner (or at least that is what I think I heard through my migraine). But none of that holds a candle to what the dcfoodies guy did for wife (hi, yes, I'm an online stalker! i read other people's personal blogs!). You can pick up the recipes on his blog. But someone won a city-wide award for making Other People Look Bad on Valentines Day. Or perhaps he should just give classes.
Finally, as it relates to Valentines Day, I finally got around to checking out a website that Wave has been pimping for what feels like years. Scarleteen is an amazingly comprehensive sex ed website, and a remarkably engaging read. Especially coming from a primary education where sex ed was tinged with things even I knew at the time were lies, Scarleteen is remarkably frank and unembarrassed. I wish more thoughtful websites like this existed for any number of different topics (religion is one of them that comes to mind). Go and check it out for yourself.
I am one of the smartest college dropouts that you will find. I work too hard, but I love what I do and I'm not embarrassed to be a neurotic dork.
