    Aw, Ruby, why'd ya have to do that?! :) I went to the grocery store this store with big plans of buying a 3-pack of the chocolate dipped strawberries they had advertised at the bakery.

    Found them, looked at the price, closed my mouth from hanging open in shock, but decided I'd be my own valentine and get them. Halfway through the store, I marched them back. I just couldn't justify paying two *dollars* per berry. They weren't nice or big or anything like Sherry's Berries, and probably wouldn't have tasted very good anyhow. Maybe at $3.99 for three berries, I would have considered, but $5.99... just couldn't do it for something that would be eaten and forgotten in a very short time.

    "My Funny Valentine" is a show tune from the 1937 Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart musical Babes in Arms in which it was introduced by former child star Mitzi Green.

    The song became a popular jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists, including Chet Baker, Bill Evans, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Andy Williams, Shirley Bassey, Miles Davis, Etta James, Nico, Chaka Khan, Elvis Costello, and Rickie Lee Jones.

    In 2015 it was announced that the Gerry Mulligan quartet featuring Chet Baker's version of the song will be inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry for the song's "cultural, artistic and/or historical significance to American society and the nation’s audio legacy"
