Valentine Schmalentine

Valentine schmalentine.....what is the big fuss over Valentine's Day? For those who are attached, shouldnt everyday be Valentine's Day? And for those who are single, why the pressure to find yourself a date on Valentine's Day? I dont get it. Everything is over priced today. Roses, normally a dime a dozen are probably $50 a dozen today. Meals, normally $20 per head will probably cost $50 per person. Dont get me wrong. I'm not against this auspicious day. I am a true romantic at heart (I'd like to think anyway). But some of you will agree, this day is just over rated and it's becoming a money making scam more than a symbol of romance. Then there is the question of what is an appropriate Valentine's gift. If you've only been with the person for two weeks, what should you buy? If you've been with the person for six months, what should you buy? What if you've been together for 6 years, do you even still celebrate Valentine's Day? I'd rather receive a bunch of roses any other day than Valentine's Day. Getting flowers on Valentine's Day makes me feel like the giver is obligated to buy flowers as a gesture for remembering it's Valentine's Day. Why cant I get flowers on other days? For no apparent reason, just for the sake of it.

My dear friend Princess Model sent me these Valentine's Day cards today. An ironic twist on a romantic day. And they're funny too.

Hope everyone out there has their own way of celebrating this day. I'm looking forward to my hot date tonight! For those who are attached, may everyday be Valentine's Day for you.
