XOXOXOX

I used to really hate Valentine's Day! Of course that was before I met Craig. Since his sweet soul entered my life, everything's been different. I'm not a flowers and candy kind of gal, although I won't turn those down. I don't need to be fussed over, I just want him to acknowledge me and be sweet. That's not hard or complicated. For ten years he's done right by me.

What I now love about Valentines Day is my chicklettes. I love spoiling them with chocolate and buying them cheesy Valentine stuffed animals. I even baked them heart shaped muffins this morning. Am I a sap or what? Of course the muffins were before a shower and coffee, so I grumbled at my dumplings the entire time! "Happy fricken' Valentine's Day! Eat your muffins."

I sent Craig to work with a card and some cinnimon bears. You know the big, red, hot gummy bears? I told him I got them because he's hot and squishy, naw, I said because he's hot and sweet. I adore him and I told him so. His REAL present will come later... wink...wink!

I am wishing all of you a love-filled Valentine's Day. May this day not be the commercialized, Hallmark card, lame conversation heart day from hell we all loath, but rather a day that you spread LOVE to those special people in your life and maybe sprinkle some of that goodwill on a stranger, you'll both be better for it!
