Happy Valentine’s Day! This is a photo of the miniature rose plant that Thom got me a few days ago as an early present. Tonight we’re going to have dinner in Shirlington (at Carlyle if it’s not too crowded) and then see the new musical Nevermore at Signature Theatre, which we’ve been looking forward to for a long while now.
Aside: There’s this recurring (okay, twice so far) Saturday Night Live sketch featuring Kristen Wiig, who plays a chatty Target cashier with a funny accent who takes so much interest in her customers’ items that she invariably asks, “Do we have more of these?” and runs off to find one in the middle of the transaction. The sketch’s latest appearance (Jan. 21) had to do with Valentine’s Day. “It’s just around the kerner!” “I’m sorry, the what?” Anyway, Thom and I think she’s hilarious. Generally her characters and impressions are spot on. (I was able to find the earlier Target sketch on YouTube. See also this sketch, “Vincent Price’s Thanksgiving Special,” in which she plays Judy Garland.)

i used to work at target.
as a cashier. i wasn’t that crazy, though. 🙂
I love the pot your rose plant is in!! Where can I find one for my spider plant, Charlotte!? She needs to be repotted!
Eric: Ha, Thom and I were at Target just last night, and I was hoping for a crazy cashier. No such luck.
Jane: I know, isn’t it cute? That rose plant (with “He loves me, he loves me not” pot) is from Jackson & Perkins.
