deep dark secret

I like Valentine's Day.


I can count the number of really good Valentine's days I've had on one hand, and still have a middle finger to show to Cupid, but I still like the day. Not what the Evil Axis of Hallmark/Godiva/American Florists Society deems as Valentine's Day, mind you, but the idea of a day set aside for someone -- anyone -- to go as sweet and sappy and doofy as they wish with the people they love, without fearing loss of any cool/hip points.

Yeah, we could and should do that every day. But we don't.

Yes, exactly. I wrote something very similar last year. :-)

I kinda missed the boat on this one. But my husband, while eager to take me shoe shopping in Paris and buy me a $500 vacuum cleaner because he said something off the cuff that made me cry and was frantic to atone, does not get the hearts and flowers deal.

Of course, with the cats, there are no flowers allowed in this house anyway. The little buggers just eat them and puke.

Bur what did you do? It's not just the guys who can/should/ought to lead this dance, after all.

Nothing at all. For various reasons, none of them fun, it's kind of a sore spot at Chez Grabien right now.
