I haven't yet made up my mind about Valentines Day. Do I like the day? Or do I despise it? As I watched the proposal at the banquet last night I had to wonder... How do they all manage it? Maybe it really is all about the the heart shaped candies that beg you to "BE MINE."
I like Valentines Day when I'm stuffing my student's bags with cards I made this morning and sticking stickers all over my sweater amid hugs and chocolate ice cream. But when two lovers walk down a lane gazing into one another's eyes.... and the only eyes I ever stare into are my own in the mirror while I fix my hair in the morning trying to decided if they are more brown or green today... That is when I wonder what it's really all about. I like Valentines Day when it's my mom is buying me tulips or my dad is giving me a giant stuffed gorilla... but at the heart of it, those demanding candies mock me.
What is up with those candies any way? Demanding little things: "MARRY ME" "KISS ME" "HUG ME" Who do they think they are any way?

For Valentines day this year, I got a paper telling me my car insurance had run out. Thats all. I could go for a demanding candy right about now.

My Valentines consisted of fish... yes, I went to town and bought myself some Tetras to add to my few other lonely little fish, and that was it. Dad brought me 2 Bon-Bons home, and I had a girlscout cookie from my Grandmothers. *sigh*
