Valentine's Day




Ok, so Valentine's Day is here. It was a great day when we were kids and got to make our valentine envelopes and tape them to our desk. You always knew you'd get a valentine because everyone's Mom made them fill one out for everyone in the class. Now that we're grown ups, I can see how Valentine's Day is kind of annoying. There are all the stuffed animals, candy hearts and card that I can't stand everywhere I go. Not to mention the single folks out there that have their noses rubbed in it. It's an excuse for people to buy flowers, candies, and the like for their loved ones...out of obligation. I don't want my husband to buy me squat if it's not in his heart to do so, you know what I mean? Don't spend a bunch of money (that we don't have) on flowers. I'm not really a flower girl. I'd rather you spend time with me, take me on an outing-let's just enjoy each other's company. I may sound grumpy, I know. My husband isn't actually in town on this glorious "holiday" because he's out of town. I admit it, I'm bitter. I guess it just irked me today at work when all these people were receiving balloons, flowers, etc. delivered to their jobs and it had me wishing for a valentine envelope taped to my desk.
