PB is sick and tired of the advertisements for
Valentine's Day. Now, PB is not one of those jaded women; however, do we really need to see all those advertisements for Kay jewelers, over priced "pajama grams", over priced Vermont teddy bears, and of course the totally crunchy red rose bouquet? totally chunky and expired says PB. When grown male Nuts go into tizzies over whether to send the roses to work or home says there is something wrong.
so what should all the Nuts do? PB says get creative, spontaneous, or do something good for the world. So if some of you nuts are going to shell out $50+ on flowers that will die in 2 days than might PB suggest adopting a totally cuddly animal of nature? Try
WWF where my Nuts can adopt a cuddly Polar Bear, a Moose, a Tortouise, among other woodland creatures.
So PB is not totally expired regarding Valentine's Day because nothing is greater than Love. But PB feels it should be shared every day. to quote a famous woman-
The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. -Helen Keller
Maybe PB is just chunky b/c peanuts are not truly recognized for their true aphrodesiac potential? So here's to trying to invade the Red Day with the greatest spread ever. PB!
