FYI- i'm not into Valentine's Day, but if people decide they want to focus on love for a day, i'm not going to argue. i just think it should be voluntary, not obligatory.
-Make her a chocolate cake in lieu of Sees or Russel Stovers. Properly dispose of the Betty Crocker box and she'll never know it wasn't from scratch. The effort you put into it will be very appreciated, especially if you're not a kitchen-y kind of guy.
-Get her a pony. Or a pony ride. Or a miniature donkey. Or just stop by a petting zoo on your way home from PF Chang's and let her hold a bunny.
-Flowers are nice, but the dying kind...not so much. You can spend $80 on 12 cut roses or buy a $19 planter from Mitchell Lumber and fill it with dirt and (insert her favorite flowers here). Got a vindictive, plant-mauling kitty? Go the funky route with steel flowers.
-Make it a night in. Rent or Netflix an entire season of her favorite show and watch it with her while you enjoy your fantastic chocolate cake.
-Is she not big on Valentine's Day? Throw a party! Do all the cleaning, cooking and prep work and invite all those friends that are either too cynical, broke, or single to celebrate. She'll appreciate a fun night with friends and the effort you put into it. Don't forget that you're doing the clean-up too!
TOP 5 REASONS ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT IS TOO GOOD FOR THIS EARTH
-The army is always just 'army', never 'the army'. i.e. "Army had a half day."
-Tobias as a 'never nude' and the fact that it's not something like speedos that he wears under all his clothes, but denim cut-offs.
-Ron Howard narrates.
-It broke the 'Charlize Theron as an unglamorous and/or tortured soul' cycle and let her be hilarious.
-Franklin the Puppet.

i like your top 5's but my comment is on the book josh is reading. the guy that wrote blue like jazz was our chapel speaker last friday and was really good. so, if you are bored at work you should go on point loma's web site and listen to the chapel from friday feb 10th. that is my suggestion for this fine monday. as the great nick burns says, you're welcome! (it is nick burns right? its been so long!)
