Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a fabulous Valentine's Day! Just kidding. It's not really a big deal for us. We get cards for each other, and sometimes we get small gifts, but we don't do much else. So today being my day off, I slept in until 9:30. Then we installed some rock sliders on the Xterra. And when I say "we" I mean Marc. I was there for moral support. I think I passed a ratchet once, handed him a nut, and pumped the jack up a few times. Other than that, it was pretty pointless for me to be there. The truck looks good though!

To continue the V-day extravagnaza, we ran some errands for Marc and ate an early dinner at PF Changs. YUMMY!

On TV tonight, we watched the finale of Beauty and the Geek. We saw the first couple episodes, and then missed several weeks until recently. There were two teams of two people in the final round, and everyone who had been voted off the show before them got to be the jury who decided which team got $250,000. The decision was supposed to be based on how much or how well the team "changed" over the eight weeks of the game--becoming better, more accepting people. Or whatever. There was one girl in the running who was a total b!tch the entire game. She even admitted that she hadn't changed at all. She was completely self-absorbed. The amazing part was that her partner actually lobbied with the others to not vote for them as the winners because his partner didn't deserve to win.

Amazing.

In our world with Survivor and Apprentice and every other reality show where people throw out everything they have stood for or could possibly stand for, it was refreshing to see someone who wasn't there for the money.
