vortex of the candy based holiday....

Valentines has almost fulfilled its yearly trip around the calendar.  I enjoy watching various jewelry stores attempt to sell diamonds and other precious rocks to the poor feeble minded already in debt up to their nose hairs Americans.  Ever since I saw this smoldering diamond mines, basically vast black holes in the earth in Africa, I find it difficult to consider buying a diamond.  Supporting such barbaric activity that harms humans bothers me.  Though I remain fine purchasing clothes that probably were made by Chinese children.  Ok, so my priorities are bit messed up.

This year, I acquired the most perfect gift for my darling Patrick.  A heating pad for his back.  Yes, very utilitarian but with all the shoveling, lifting of toddler, and other assigned duties....his poor back screams out for some lovin'.
