This is the dumbest holiday ever. Seriously. First of all, who the heck is St. Valentine? Does anybody know? You Google the dude and you get a lot of sketchy information about a whole bunch of people named Valentine. Kinda sounds made up to me. And what was so special about all these Valentine cats anyway? I'm fun. Can we get a Stephanie's Day? Everybody could wear their pajamas and eat cake. It would be awesome!
Furthermore, why do we need a day that tells us we have to love somebody? If you love someone, shouldn't you tell them every day? Do we really need the people at Hallmark to remind us that we're supposed to say "I love you"?? Get a grip people. Commercialism.
Then there's so much pressure! If you're in a relationship, it becomes a big deal about what you're going to buy and what you're going to do and people get all stressed out. If you're not, then it's like, "well, what the heck am I supposed to do all day?" and you have to listen to all the happy people and their lovey dovey junk. Seriously, people. How much "I had a great Valentine's Day with the best partner ever" stuff are we supposed to listen to before we get sick? Or "my significant other wasn't home all day on Valentine's Day" or "my significant other didn't do anything for me for Valentine's Day". Really? Pull yourselves together and try to make it through.
I'm not going to fuss anymore. I'll just say what I did with my day and be done with it.
I made a birthday cake. I went shopping. I went with Jill, Chris, Beezer, and Scott to Luke's for dinner. Then we went to the Elk's Lodge for the Valentine's Dance. If you ask me, it was extraordinarily boring. The DJ was not the best I've ever seen/heard. When the musical highlights of the evening include "Dancing Queen" and "Funkytown", you know you're somewhere fun. Wow. But whatever. I had a pretty dress. :)
With Jilly.
With Jane.

Next year, I think I'll hide under the bed until it's over. Best things about Valentine's Day: lots of pink and clearance candy.
Bring on St. Patrick's Day!!!! :)
Well I am glad you arent the type to watch sad movies and cry. :)
ReplyDeleteWe dont exchange gifts or cards. A mom friend of mine told me "Gah, I have no idea what to get my husband for Valentine's Day!" And I was like, "um...."
Get this, she ended up ordering him and expensive watch.
I like Valentine's Day for kids becuase I think the exchanging valentines at school and little cookie and cupcake parties and all the v-day decor is fun.
Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteYou said you had a pretty dress!
Where is a photo!?!?!?!!?
Ooh! Sorry! I didn't get one of the whole dress. It was fuschia, satin underneath chiffon with a satin collar, satin bands on the sleeves, a satin bow, and sparkly buttons! :)
ReplyDeleteVery GALINDAIFIED!!!!
ReplyDeleteDress sounds pretty. Dance sounds... eh. You missed Will and I sucking it up at the "Not so newlywed" game. We came in last. V-day is stoo-pit.
