Okay, my sweetheart isn't lost, in fact, he's working right now. But I had to use the title because in spite of Valentine's day we are having the LOST party tonight. Or maybe it's to SPITE Valentine's day.
I love all things romantic, don't get me wrong. I'm a girlie girl when it comes to that. I love flowers; I love beautiful cards with more beautiful words in them; and I adore chocolate. BUT, I hate the expectation to do it on a certain day and how it makes people feel left out. Yuck!
Yesterday while I was waiting to pick up my teenage daughter, I saw girls walking out of the school building holding carnations.
I cringed.
Did my daughter feel alone today because no one gave her one? I suddenly had the urge to rush in and buy all the flowers to stop the madness. I spotted her walking towards me with her golden hair flipping in the wind and a red carnation in her hands.
Whew.
Ugh.
I hate this.
Today she took money to buy flowers for her friends who may not get one. Now THAT is a sweet heart.
For anyone that's feeling LOST on Valentine's day, come on over. We can eat heart-shaped pizzas together and laugh at stupid consumerism.

That's hilarious but rather than drive for four or five or three, how many hours, I'm making, yes making, my five year old nephew take me to dinner....course I'll be paying, but whatever. :-)
That girl of yours...wow. How sweet is that??!!
