El Oh Vee Ee ...

 … that spells love and February is the month of much love for most of us, myself included. It might be the shortest month with only twenty-eight (or twenty-nine) days, but for me it is the month containing many family members birthdays and the end of the month marks my eighteenth wedding anniversary.

(To the same person.)

(Even though I showed up wearing this headpiece.)

(Boo ya.)

And let's not forget the biggie: the holiday dedicated to celebrating love that greeting card companies created to sell more cards every February - President's Day. Happy Birthday George and Abe!

In honor of these two Presidents, I decided to learn a bit more about their lives. I've read one and one-twelfth books on Washington. Prior to reading one and one-twelfth books about him, all I knew was that he was a General, our first President, and he had wooden teeth.

Two of those qualities are confirmed, one is not. However, I did not know that Washington was considered quite the hottie in his day. At over six feet tall with a hearty constitution (his personal constitution, not The Constitution), he was considered a perfect male specimen. See this? Right here? Is why I read, people. I always kinda considered him to be homely, what with wooden teeth and all. How wrong I have been all these years.

I want to see the Spielberg movie Lincoln, but I feel the need to brush up on my Abe first. I don't have much time to do that considering the movie is leaving theaters in my area tomorrow. And, I cannot stress this enough, don't tell me how the movie ends. I like to view a film for the first time without knowing the ending.

Don't even get me started on how disappointing Titanic was for me. Some nut job in the movie ticket line behind me blew the ending for all of us standing within earshot. Jeez, fifteen years later and I still can't watch that movie because I know how it ends.

Wow. That was quite a digression from love to February to the first and fourteenth Presidents to the Titanic.

Sorry.

Happy Valentine's Day - I el oh vee ee you all!
