In all my years, I have never had a Valentine’s Day that I can say, “WOW. That was the best V-Day ever.” Never got flowers. Never got jewelry. Never got anything worth a shit. I’ve pretty much written off Valentine’s Day. I even had a boyfriend break up with me on Valentine’s. Isn’t that nice? It’s left a bitter taste in my mouth.
Maybe this year will be different but I highly doubt it.
I did however get THE sweetest Valentine EVER. And it was my the sweetest boy EVER. No, not The Man. But my baby boy. Check it out.
The outside:
The inside:
In case you can’t read that it says: I love you because… you’re the best cookr. And yes, he misspelled cooker but I LOVE IT. It nearly brought me to tears. And he told me – he highlighted LOVE.
Aw.
I’m the best cooker. The best. HEHEHE
Dammit it’s sweet.
Anyway.
I swear I really think my mind is a total void still. I try to write and get nothing. And I think I know what part of my problem is. I’m not reading books like I used to. And when I don’t read, I don’t write. And when I don’t write, I struggle and I get frustrated and I get annoyed with myself. It’s a vicious circle.
Maybe I need some new music to fuel the fire. And to get back to my TBR pile. And to do some serious critiiqueing. I DO have those contest entries I simply must get to here in the next few days but I’ve been putting them off. I come home with a headache every single day and it’s really starting to grate on my nerves.
I don’t love today. Suppose I’ll head to the office. The Man is working tonight – SURPRISE – so I suppose I’ll be staying home and having sloppy joes. Yay me.
Oh, you don’t sound CYNICAL at all! 😉
Valentine’s day isn’t all about ROMANCE, imo. It’s about telling the people close to you that you love them. FAMILY is a big one.
I think that is the sweetest Valentine ever!
I think candy/gems/flowers are CRAP compared to that card. Who cares about dead flowers, fattening candy, and sparklys you didn’t get to pick out. That card is the greatest V-Day gift I think I’ve ever seen.
He’s effing precious.
:???:You sound like my 20 year old daughter where Valentine’s Day is concerned. I, too, have never really cared for this day. My husband has always been the type that went out on the last day and grabbed the left over stuff. He never put thought into it. We can always go out to eat as he loves to eat. As long as it benefits him, that is all that matters. I’ve been married 28 years and it’ll not change. I think that is why we need books to keep up wishes our guys were more thoughtful than they are.
:razz:My husband did waste $ 5 on a huge card I cannot even store after we agreed dinner out last weekend was it.
I heard one husband complaining because he bought his wife a lot for Valentine’s day and she got him nothing. I was surprised to hear a guy would care.
This article was pretty good. Bookmarked. Anyways, I’m off to figure out how to lose weight. My friend suggested Proactol though.
