luke, I am your Valentine

So, it turns out I do have a Valentine after all. (A first in years!) I really just want to stay in, order Chinese, watch movies, and snuggle but we're gonna venture out and have a "real date" since I joked we've never had one before. Now I have to figure out what to wear. Red is my favorite color and I love things with hearts on it but today it may look like I'm trying super hard. (Or like my 7th grade English teacher).

PS- I debated making him a card (construction paper, glitter, and glue) but, again, I don't wanna scare him off just yet. I thought this Star Wars Valentine would be cute since he was utterly appalled that I have never watched Star Wars.

We only met 2 days ago

My friend texted me today to ask if I found a Valentine while I was out last night. Far from it! Nothing but tainted meat out there in the meat market! Anyway, I answered that I wasn't sure. I've been seeing someone but it's still so new. It may be too early for a Valentine's Day date. He texted me back with this funny Target commercial:



We've been hanging out almost everyday so hanging out tomorrow would be normal. But Valentine's Day is kinda an elephant in the room. Do we acknowledge it? Gifts? Cards? Dinner? Or pretend it's just the day before President's Day? If we don't hang out it would be like we were purposely not hanging out because it's Valentine's Day. I know what you're thinking. It shouldn't be this complicated. What's a girl to do?

oh how pretty

I'm not certain if I have a Valentine this year. But if I did, I'd love to wear this outfit.

you must allow me...

wouldn't this framed print from The Love Shop be a great Valentine's Day gift?

Happy Valentine's Day!

This Valentine's Day, remember, you have to love yourself before you can love someone else. ; )

Thus far, this Valentine's day has turned out to be one of the best ones yet. I love that there is no pressure for me to have a "perfect" romantic day with anyone. I went to the corner store to buy myself some flowers ( tulips, my favorite). Went to Duane Reade to buy some glitter and markers to make some Valentine's for my girlfriends but sadly, all they had were crappy crayons and no construction paper! I had to make due with the supplies I had at home. Got some roses from my girl, A, and chocolates from my friend, Tim. What more could a girl ask for?

Hmm. I do miss having someone in my life who gives me butterflies. Instead, I got a butterfly! (Another awesome gift from a thoughtful friend). Look ma, no hands! Ok, maybe don't look.

Maybe I wouldn't end up as a cat lady after all. I could deal with being a Rabbit & Butterfly lady. Hehe.
