But, why do we have to be reminded to love one day a year? Sure, its an excuse for us ladies to dress up & get all pretty for the men (if we have one), & go to a nice restaurant & get nice gifts & chocolate that we don't need & flowers that will die in a few days anyways. The corporate holiday. The stores miss Christmas already so they have to do SOMETHING to make tons of money again, don't they? As much as we might say we hate Valentine's day, we always get roped into it don't we? Even if its just buying a little box of chocolates for your friends.
You know, all I did for Valentines Day this year was hang out with four dudes. We went & played a couple games of laser tag, then went to see Percy Jackson, then went to a bookstore & browsed around. Completely lowkey & fun! AND we stayed away from the absolutely chaotic restaurants that I'm sure were bombarded with couples & flowers & engagements. Which also reminds me. I hope whoever my future husband is that he does NOT ask me to marry him on Valentine's Day. I think I will say NO! So cliche!!! Blah!
On another note, this year I thought I'd be smart with a little something I'd send to my family since I wasn't there this year. From 1-800-Flowers I sent them a little rosebush that came with a cute little teddy bear. Of course, it backfired when my mom got the poor plant that was supposed to SURVIVE more than 7 days on Friday, & the two little buds on it were broken. =( She called the company & they were supposed to redeliver on Sat, which of course hadn't even happened by yesterday. So I called them & got a refund. At least my family got to keep the little bear!
So the moral of this story, love everyday, not just on the "Love holiday" or else love will not survive past the initial delivery. lol.
<3 to all everyday,
Steff
