So, despite being single and lame this Valentine's Day, I've so far received a e-card, candy, and a single red rose. All before noon!
I think if you approach this day as a celebration of romance in general and those important to you in particular, it's not so bad. It's nice to reach out to the people in your life and let them know that they're special and lovable in their own ways.
Any other approach to the holiday, of course, is utter bullshit.
I think tonight I'm gonna stop by Shoe Mecca on the way home and buy myself a cheap, yet totally cute, pair of shoes. I will then wear these cute shoes Out. And that's all I need from today.
