but I la-la-LOVE holidays.
Big, small, traditional, patriotic, cheesy or funny....I am in, and ALL IN for the fun! It gives me a reason to wear a funny sweater (Christmas), eat as much food as I can (Thanksgiving Day), drink as much as I can (New Year's Ever), dress up in a certain color (St. Patty's Day), speak with a Pirate Accent (National Speak Like a Pirate Day, September 19th), dress a little risque (Halloween), wave the flag (4th of July), celebrate those who have served our country (Veteran's Day)....not to mention the craziest of all VALENTINE'S Day!
I don't despise the holiday, I'm a little impartial to it after all! I can't say that I have always had an affinity for hearts, the color red, or making someone feel like ONE day of the year they better go out of their way to tell me they love me (they better freakin' tell me everyday). It wasn't until about 5 years ago that I could pinpoint why this day really mattered....it didn't matter that I didn't care about the day...it was the fact that other people did and by them doing something special, it made me feel less special because I wasn't! It also was triggered with a punch on the shoulder and a have a great night by my then "friend" Rich...that made me realize...it's a fun holiday and darn right we are going to celebrate! Of course, it was February 15, 2006 that we decided we were officially boyfriend and girlfriend...so maybe this helps the holiday out too!
We celebrate our love each day...but why not celebrate with everyone else too!!!! Today, Rich was a great Husband and Valentine...he brought me beautiful Gerbera Daisies to work (my favorite) and spoiled me with a mid-day break and Lunch at The Metropolitan Grill....I even got a sappy LOVE card (LOVE IT)....
I guess that I better pick up the pace and do something just ask special for him....LOVE, LOVE!
Happy Valentine's Day from this Love Bird to all the Love Birds out there!
