The sky is falling.
Good thing I've got my steel umbrella.
I have to say, I was pretty shocked to hear how violently so many people hate Valentine's Day. I mean, yes, I'm in a great relationship, so maybe my say doesn't count for much here... but I guess I've never really thought of Valentine's Day as a purely romantic holiday. Some of my favorite Valentine's Days of all time have been spent just being with family, and being able to take a day to purely enjoy each others' company. I mean, it's just my two cents. I just feel like rather than being angry, it might be more beneficial to everyone involved to use the day to appreciate your loved ones.
I had the most fantastic weekend. It was wonderful to be back at home, enjoying my house (my parents' house- still weird) and the beautiful weather, and having four uninterrupted days to spend with my husband. I absolutely loved going to the zoo-- one of my favorite dates of all time. I spent the whole time in near-tears, just from being perfectly excited and content and understood. I mean... the man spent five hours at the zoo. For me. Wow. I am one lucky beeyotch!
