Yeah, I said it! (Valentine's Edition)
First off, before he kicks my ass, let me go ahead and make sure that I give Leon credit for the title of this thread, since he's the first one to use it famously...
I had planned on doing some updating prior to today, but... well... as usual, nothing special.
Today however is another story... and to think the cyncial smart ass that I usually am, I don't think I've just EVER celebrated Valentine's day with the exception of elementary school, and a few middle school and high school boyfriends who gave me roses and candy- the trademark stuff that I've grown to dislike (although I really can't say the same about candy). I'm really not necessarily "celebrating" today, but still, someone has made me feel super special today. Aside from the lilies I receieved when I got back from lunch today, knowing that I preferred them HIGHLY over roses made me smile and blush something wicked. I would take a picture, but only a few are in bloom... and I can't wait for the buds to open up. I had actually planned to dedicate a writing to him before the flowers came, but with work and all the running around, he basically beat me to the punch. Even still, it won't stop me from doing what I had planned to do.
Good things do come when least expected. Even though I somewhat believe that, it still amazes me that I didn't ever see this coming. Technically I wasn't even looking. Either way, I can't say that I would be here, on Valentine's Day, sitting here writing this with rosy cheeks and a huge grin on my face!
To say that I am grateful to have this man in my life is an understatement. Seriously. For me, it has been a LONG time since I've had a man who shared so much of the things I like, who has naturally liked even the quirky, silly, and in his honor, GEEKY things about me, and has had no problem sincerely telling me or showing me so. I'd almost feel like I'd be stretching if I said that he was perfect, but I know for myself that I have never felt this happy and appreciated in a long time, if ever. I almost feel indebt to him for all this, but in return, he is also a wonderful, sweet, caring man that brings a smile to my face in spite of the distance of five hundred miles.
And of course, there will still be times when I want to kick him... but that's part of the package... plus, here's the inside scoop on that... he lets me!
Happy Valentine's Day, babe... here's to a weekend of hugs!
And here's to Tasha for her corny mushy post and having the gall to put RED in it!!
