Valentines Day
well, another v-day is here upon us, and I couldnt be more excited... Im wearing my Betsey Johnson pink sweater with rhinestone hearts in the top right hand corner that ties with a sweet pink ribbon... and yes, I did get it for $10, so eat your heart out... he he
is it possible to overdose on love? I think thats my problem with v-day - I am too in love with love. Ive been this way for as long as I can remember... V-day is one of my favorite holidays, and, honestly, I cannot tell you why. Most of my memories of this oh-so-sacred day are horrible - I can remember being so excited about v-day and then getting nothing and being utterly crushed. Especially in jr high... you know all the "queen bees" in your class are getting something from their cute boyfriends, and you have to sit and watch - how much torture must an adolescent girl endure to become the woman she is today? I would always get something from parents though, which was nice, but hardly what you dream of when you're 12 and 13... (although I would give anything to have my dad give me something for v-day now - dont miss out on your blessings b/c you dont think they are good enough)...
how many tears did this holiday bring to this girl's cheeks for so many years (along with a million other girls going through the same thing - even today)... and yet, every year - the same thing, woke up, giddy and in love with love...
must be ingrained into a girls dna - comes with that extra X chromosome - it is the sign for a kiss after all... even today with grown women - I look around and almost every woman at work today is wearing pink, red, or white, and almost none of the men are(unless maybe by luck they wore that red shirt they have)... is this why we have so many girls getting into trouble - they are seriously looking for love and acceptance and turning to any source that will give them something - anything...
although now, I have a valentine and a half, that I love more than myself (now thats saying something!), so I guess it eventually all works out, and I guess it was worth it to go through all those terrible days to get to these good ones - I guess I wouldnt know what I had now if I didnt "not have" back then
cupid must really be a girl b/c no male would ever go to that much trouble... :)

"I have a valentine and a half"
That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard....
awww thanks...
our lists are pretty different - you like the clean cut serious actor like guys, and I like the grungy rocker/comediens... funny... although our last ones are pretty close... :)
Addie,
Hope your Valentine's Day was wonderful. I know you're glad Daniel is home. Did you get your hippo? Don't worry. We all went through those horrible Valentine's no matter how much we hoped. Like you said, you have to miss out on some so you realize how precious the good ones are.
hey! did you take Anna her gift in person again? That is such a nice thing! That reminds me, I wanted to send her an e-card for going back to school! :)
Amy - no, I did not get the hippo, boo... but my son did give me a rose, and daniel gave me some chocolate shaped soap... so it was good - maybe I can talk him into the hippo for our anniversary tomorrow
Amanda - yes - we took anna flowers on our lunch break yesterday - she was very surprised...
had a great v-day - hope everyone else did too... love you guys
