So it's is that day that single people hate and married people feel awkward about. Or at least this married person does. I mean once you've been married to someone for, oh I don't know, more then two years you start to feel weird about buying Valentine's day gifts. At least if your a wife buying for your husband. Or maybe it's just my husband. He never wants anything! So if I do get him something it's either a gag gift or a guess. I didn't purchase anything this year mainly because I didn't go anywhere alone last week because of the snow and I had absolutely no idea what to get him anyway. Hopefully he doesn't come home with some super amazing gift that makes me feel really bad for not getting him anything. I plan on making him a delicious steak dinner so I guess that will be my part of the deal.
I don't really understand what the big deal is about V day. I mean when you are dating someone it's kind of hard to get a good v day gift. I mean it all depends on how long you've been with the person and how much they mean to you doesn't it? Like for example, if you've been together for over a year or two a lot of girls would be expecting a ring right? And how annoying is that? I mean there's no pressure or anything! And then you know whatever gift you might get her instead of a ring just wont compare to what she had in her mind. And if your a girl you kinda get the easy way out on v day. Guys don't really expect much on romantic holidays. But even if you've only been dating for a a few weeks or months it makes it hard to decide on a gift because you don't want to shell out the big bucks on someone that may or may not still be around next month. So I propose this, no more gifts on Valentine's day. Just nice dinners, romantic movies or walks, maybe a burnt cd. Ya know something you don't have to put a lot of time or effort into but still shows that you care. I honestly don't care if I get a gift or not, my husband is just awesome enough that he buys me nice things all year round. I mean just this past weekend I got all kinds of cool stuff. So I'm not worried about today at all.
Now when it comes to kids, today is just a great day to sell candy. I mean after Halloween this has got to be the biggest candy day of the year. Christmas they have candy but not as much as Halloween and V day. So we went all out and our kids are getting Lindor Truffles. They love them and if you're going to spend four bucks on a bag of candy why not get the best! I will have to restrain myself from eating them all myself but I think I can do it. :) I know they will enjoy it and I keep hoping there wont be another holiday for a while but guess what? Easter is just around the corner. But hey after that there aren't any kid type holidays until the fourth of July! And that's just fireworks, no candy or presents. Thank goodness for that, if we get any more presents in this house I think the floor will cave in and the house will come crashing down.
Well if you are a big holiday person I hope you get something nice from a loved one today and I hope you give them something equally nice in return. Just remember this, don't expect anything and everything you get will be a wonderful surprise. Those are my words of wisdom for today. ;)
