Because I'm not sure what the rest of today and tomorrow holds as far as time, I decided to blog a little about V Day! I was (and still am) a believer that Valentines Day is just an overrated Hallmark holiday. I've always thought that if the person I was with couldn't tell me how much they love me on the other 364 days of the year, then he shouldn't waste money on overpriced flowers and other things. I've also had some pretty bad Valentines Days...most notable, in college when I hosted a single girl Vday party. A girl I knew casually came and we all lamented about our boy issues. I talked at length about a boy that I liked and we were trying to figure out where we stood. I found out a few days later that this girl and the boy I liked had started dating (she had a 1st date with him on the 15th). I was crushed! Then, most recently, on our 1st Vday together, we had a terrible night and then fight that caused us to take a "break" for 2 weeks. It was awful!
Since then, I fell in love with an amazing man in spite of our early Vday trauma. We now make it a point to stay home, make dinner and just make it our special place for the evening. I realize that the commercialism of Vday is what you make of it. Instead, for me, it's a reminder of how lucky I am to be in love and have someone who loves me. So, to my friends, happy Valentine's Day! May every day be filled with love! And to D, the love of my life, happy Valentine's Day! I love you lots and lots!
