Today is Valentine's Day...urg. All month, the shelves of the grocery stores have been stocked with more red and pink covered boxes and chocolates than I could possibly count. The flower shops are stocked to the brim with roses. Men are running amuck trying to find the perfect way to express their love and devotion to their sweety.
I can't stand this day, it only exists to bolster the already deep pockets of the greeting card and candy companies. It makes perfectly sane (well maybe) people into quivering piles of mush. It gives people an excuse to not show real affection in leiu of a day made just for that purpose.
My family kind of sent me a valentine. Of course it's an awesome card that reminded them of me (it's a picture of the Eifle tower at night and it looks like fireworks are going off....ah the power of technologically advanced cards) and a gift card to Starbucks.
I'd say that's better than some teddy bear who would end up as a victim of "under-the-bed syndrome."
