Valentines day is coming up...
I know a lot of people out there are anti-Valentines or bitter about it. I don't see why. If you want to complain that it's a consumer hallmark made holiday, then celebrate it some other way. Make a gift, give a kiss, do something special.
I don't personally like flowers, chocolates, lingerie, or a variety of other typical Valentines day stuff. But I figure, why not take every excuse we can get to celebrate love? Some made up saint guy? Good enough excuse for me. Seventh monday in a row I've been to work on time? Good enough excuse for me. Our half-versary plus a month? Good enough excuse for me. Find excuses often and celebrate love. Why not?
I used to make little valentines, usually edible for all the ladies in my life, even ones I didn't really like so as not to leave anyone out. Little boxes of candy, tiny cakes, cookies, cupcakes, all red and decorated and absolutely cute. Last year I skipped out on it and felt kind of bad. I rolled into the day empty handed. What a bummer.
This year for V-Day I'm taking Adam out to a dinner surprise. I also wanted to make him a small gift. But given that we live with each other and other than work are with each other every minute (waking or otherwise), it's hard to find the time to make something without him already knowing. But I don't care. I'm excited anyways.
Who doesn't love quality time?
