So here it is, Valentine's day!!! Have I been pampered, spoiled, and eaten chocolates all day??? NO, not at all! So far, I have met a friend for coffee, grabbed one for my husband (cause I'm the best wife EVER), got groceries and am currently doing laundry after having finished some dishes (all of which I'm okay with). It's not like Feb 14th rolls around and I'm incapable of doing anything.lol. However, it is nice to get a little something even though it's just a 'holiday created by card companies...bah, blah, blah, blah, BLAH!' I don't care what anyone says....it is NICE to get something as simple as a card. I mean, I know that I don't want to be the only married gal in Regina that gets shit all when this day rolls around. That being said, I should mention here that Keith got me an extremely sweet card and a bookmark with a K on it, which was very thoughtful and kind of him. Thanks my love. :)
But really, what is it about this day that tends to bring some/many single ladies to find a date, just for the sake of not sitting at home alone or brings them to tears because they have no one to share it with? Oh, the pressure of it all!!! I'm the first to admit, it used to bum me out a little when I was single and I would head in to work to see desks overflowing with flowers and/or chocolates from significant others. I'm also the first to admit that had Keith not done anything at all, I would have been a little bummed too. It's weird because Keith is constantly showing me he loves me, always making me laugh and never hesitates to spend some quality time with me. But this day comes along and BAM, I want a little extra for some strange reason that I'll probably never understand. Weird, right?!
I will say this though, I do think Valentines Day is a great day for couples that don't always take the time to have a date night to actually take one and just enjoy each other. Cause that's what we're really all here for, is to enjoy the people in our lives and to show it on occassion. AND, as unfortunate as it is, sometimes we do need a reminder like a day that's dedicated to love for us to take a step back and make an effort. I mean, really people, I know it's commercialized which is super annoying, but is it that hard to go pick up a card or chocolates or a flower or two?! No, it's not, so if you haven't already, run out and grab something for your significant other if you can. It may be a pain in the tush for you (trust me, you'll get over the shame of giving in to the Hallmark holiday), but the person that receives it WILL be thankful.....I'm just saying.....
If you're single and bumming yourself out, get up off that couch also and go grab yourself something pretty. It WILL make you feel better, I promise. So to all of the couples out there and to all the singles guys and gals, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! <3
