Happy Love Day
After putting the kids to bed, I went to the grocery store. The temperature finally rose into double digits and it actually felt a little warm! (Still below freezing. After a couple of weeks of subzero temps and single digits, it’s amazing how it would feel warm…)
The greeting cards, gift wraps, and floral department is right near the entrance of the 24-hr grocery chain. There were at least 8 men browsing in the vicinity for last-minute Valentine gifts. Ironically, I didn’t see any women there.
Is it because women aren’t celebrating or giving their sweetheart gifts? Or are women inherently better planners and have already finished wrapping the presents days ago? Maybe women don’t shop for Valentine gifts at grocery stores? I mean, let’s face it, what kinda thing would a guy want from a grocery store.
“Here love, this is what I got for ya. I’m so glad you’re mine,” as she hands the bulky package over.
“Ooooh beer, and it’s my favorite kind! You’re the best.” Says he as he whips out a huge bouquet of flowers from behind his back, planting a kiss on her lips.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. Chocolates on the house.

I never do Valentine’s. Something bad always comes up in relationship wise. After getting married, the thrill’s kinda gone. And it doesn’t seem this year would be any different too …. I hope you have a great one!

My husband would tickled pink if I tossed him a nicely done filet mignon.
I did a bit of last minute V day shopping myself last night and I had to push the teenage girls out of my way. Go figure.

HAHA. i think a LOT of men would actually appreciate that. i am a huge huge fan of V day. i think mainly because it has such a bad rapport. it HAS to be one of the few days of the year that actually has an anti-day celebration. why?! why actually go out of your way to _not_ celebrate and shower love on the wonderful ppl in your life?! i never understood it… especially the bitterness from single folk. some of my favourite V Days have been from years i was single.
buuut maybe i just have fabulously loving ppl in my life, who make it special every year regardless of THAT special someone!
happy heart day! hope it’s amazing for you and your family
