This is not my favorite holiday. It seems designed to make lonely people even lonelier, not lonely single people lonely, and people in relationships spend money. Have I left anything out?
It's not so bad now that I'm married, David did bring me flowers (which are beautiful!) and he always gets chocolates for the kids. I got him a box of chocolates, because life is like a box of chocolates, only he picked it up himself. Valentine's Day will never make my top ten list of favorties holidays, and here's a sampling of why...
1. I actually did have a Valentine in the sixth grade, or so I thought, but then I found out I wasn't so special, Jared gave great Valentines to all his friends.
2. I never officially had a Valentine again until I was married.
3. I did have a date on Valentine's Day once, but the idiot didn't ask me in advance, and then took me to dinner and a movie with my parents. Also, I found out later I wasn't the only girl he was dating at the time.
4. I got broken up with on Valentine's Day.
In response to all this merry-making, I started wearing black every February 14. It would have made a great statement, but I was a music major, and weaing all black just isn't that big of a deal. Everyone just thinks you have a concert.

I wore all black today too. :-)
This was my favorite post about Valentine's Day. All the other ones were too mushy. And I totally agree that Valentine's Day is not my favorite! I was going to wear black, but my green sweater was warmer for recess duty . . .;-)
