Happy Valentime's Day!

Yes, I realize it says Valentime's. That's what I call it. Actually me, my sister and my 2 sisters-in-law call it that. I don't really know why. It's like how we call Halloween > Lalloween. There's no rhyme or reason. It's like a Monet painting...(that's what Rose says in Titanic when she's describing the painting to the maid who unfortunately does not make it in the end...) Anyways...I started thinking that we made up a lot of words/phrases during our "famous years". It was 1997. We were The Sisters (lol) and we were saying things like "Why you do?" (Translation: Why did you do that?) and "It's on you if you want to climb trees" (Translation: It's up to you if that's what you want to do) or if we went shopping and someone bought something they were "handed". As in: "I went to the mall and came out totally handed." I don't know if we were the ones who coined "What's the haps?" because I believe a lot of people say that, however...if we were, then that's awesome. My parents even say it - "Hey Tet, What's da haps?". We probably weren't. But we did come up with "I'm a bit of..." or "It's a bit of.." ie. "I thought he was down, but he wasn't, so I'm a bit of damaged" (Translation: I thought he liked me, but he didn't and now I'm upset) or "I wanted that bag because it had good swing, but it's a bit of expense" (Translation: That bag looks good when I carry it, but it was too expensive") LOL. I'm laughing as I write this because I can totally imagine us saying it. If we were at the bar and some guy was talking to one of us too long, the other 3 would take off their watches and give it to whoever the guy was talking to. A symbol that he was taking up too much of our precious time or that we were taking too long. Ah, my famous years - it's always fun to reminisce. Even if no one knows what the heck I'm talking about.
