and V-Day has arrived

It's my favorite holiday of the year. And I have finally, FINALLY, found the perfect Valentine. He's in New Jersey.

But, despite that fail, it's turning out to be a pretty good day. List of wins:

-I got a heart-melting international call when I first woke up.

-Failblog made me laugh uproariously:


-My new vendor friend at the Saturday market gave me all of my groceries (2 avocados, 5 clementines, 1/4 kilo of litchis, a head of lettuce, one carrot, one tomato and three kiwis) for two euros!

And last, but most important, Tapan sincerely adored my present:


Bon jour de St. Valentin, everyone!
