Have you ever wondered why Valentines day exists? I never really cared because, well, I don't care about the silly holiday in the first place. I have never been depressed because I didn't have a particular valentine, nor have I been surprised or in awe of the flowers and candies I have received because of it.
So I got to wondering... Why do girls get so emotional over a day in which love is so overly expressed? Maybe I'm just a prude (which is probably the case), but I feel that Valentines day is a total marketing scheme. Not that we don't need marketing schemes as a society, but that argument is for another day.
My husband, whom I love dearly, likes this weird day. He gets me a mushy card every year. He gets me flowers if I don't already have some in the house. No chocolates though, as I am not a big fan. He even proposed to me on Valentines day, which I think he did just to get under my skin! (I really think he did it for the element of surprise.)
Anyway, I figured I would go looking about to see who this St. Valentine dude was.
Turns out nobody really knows.

Ha! We are so opposite! Like night and day, Biffy...I'm so into V-day. I don't really know why, I guess it's because I've never received flowers before, and only cards from my parents. I keep waiting and waiting, and every year it gets more frustrating! LOL! One year I even went out with a friend's ex just because I wanted a date to a concert so bad! The ex was rediculous, and both me and my friend knew it, but just to have somebody to go with! hahahaha! Desperado, huh?
Anyway, this year was a lot better. My hubby got me a card, thankfully. Hopefully next year I'll get flowers or something. HAHAHA!
We did have some yummy buckwheat pancakes in a little diner, which was fun.
V-day sure is weird though, if you think about it. Funny that nobody knows where it started, eh?
(You like how I threw that "eh" in there? Hey, I'm trying, I'm trying...but I'll be back in June, so I might as well quit trying!)
Love ya and miss ya! Let's hang out when I get back! Let's get Sarah and go to the beach! Or wind-surfing on the lake again! That was such a blast!
