Happy Valentine's Day to all... and Happy 4th Anniversary to me and LJ.
Ah, LJ, you have always been there for me when times were bad.
I got flowers today, for the first time EVER. Yes, they were slightly wilted potted African Violets from Rosauers (haha), but I love them. Anyway, he knows that as much as I would love to someday get an enormous, bright, gorgeous bouquet, this will last much longer. (Maybe. If I can get the little guys to perk up a little bit.)
I think I have learned over the years that it is best to be a pessimist. We pessimists are either proven correct, and therefore not disappointed, or we are proven wrong in a way that pleasantly surprises us. This is an excellent strategy, until the people around you realize that you aren't expecting much, and simply stop trying. It is, I must admit, a little disheartening to be continually lowering my already low standards.
Anyway. Cinnamon roll, violets, snuggle with my cat, gharish pink sweater... this could be the best Valentine's Day ever.
