Pink. Just for today. Usually I like to go out and do fun stuff with the girls, but we’ve all been sick lately. Instead I worked at the florist’s until 1:30. I like seeing all the flowers and writing out messages to put on cards. Some people write the craziest stuff! And some write the sweetest. I told Donna it made me almost want to get a boyfriend just so I could get flowers like that. They all said, “Send yourself some.” No way! I’m sending myself to England instead. Of course then I helped bring out some wedding bouquets for someone and whined, “Now I want to get married.” *laughing* Okay, flowers are silly reasons to get a man.
Valentine’s for me means either girls-night-out or family time. I’m curious if it will be come a major holiday if I get married. Does Mother’s Day seem like a big deal to moms? Isn’t it funny how some holidays are national/religious and everybody celebrates–obviously some people don’t celebrate Easter or the Fourth of July (wonder what the British think of that one); but some holidays you celebrate only after a certain time in your life, like Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day. hmmm….
My French teacher, one of my closest friends, is turning 25 in a couple of days. (She keeps trying to catch up with me.) We were talking about how this is a “big” birthday for her, and it occurred to me that this year will be a big one for me, too. No longer “young twenties”, I will be entering the beginning of my late twenties. Stacy laughed. A wicked laugh that said “I’m younger than you,” and then it occurred to her that she is not far behind and she suddenly stopped laughing. HA!
I wonder how long I can be in my mid-twenties…

i bought my girlfriend roses for v-day
yes they were red why? is that not good
earnesty (sp?) is quite important, though, these days its more often called determination or motivated sincerity…
Valentine’s is one of those days that good guys get the bum rap on… think about it… Mr. Good Guy treats Girl A right all year long, in and out of season… If one of the dudes that doesn’t have a clue on how to treat a woman (we’ll call him Mr. Bad Guy) does something extra-special for his girlfriend/wife/etc, who works with Girl A, on V-day, and Mr. Good Guy doesn’t? oh, he is so in the doghouse! bum rap, I tell you… [/end rant]
thank goodness the only person I had to call was my mom… and she wasn’t even expecting the call…
valentines. the one day a year you are sure to see only three colors consistently. Red. Pink. And black.
we should think about doing secret admirers next year, that would be WAY to much fun. do you remember when we did that??
I wish ya’ll had been here for the snow too. Did cousins get any?
valentine’s day is always a lovely holiday for me. i don’t like nasty boys… and they don’t like me either cause i don’t get any valentine’s. 🙂 “squinty smile” guess i do my job well… velentine’s day is always a lovely day for me. our family spends two weeks to a month making cards. i remember one valentine’s day that was perfect. the weather was just right. our house was clean. we were all happy. every year is a master piece.
Interesting. Valentine’s day was never a really big holiday for my family. However, my wife’s family always celebrated it. I usually try to buy my wife some little thing that she has been wanting but doesn’t expect.
BTW now aren’t you glad that you’re a month younger than me?
