Weekend of Love

February 14th is typically known as the day of love. For some reason our society has decided that we need to commercially express adoration for a significant other. Instead of basking in the rosy lights of a relationship the jaded singles have deemed the day as an awareness of being alone. Come to think about it being alone is such a depressing thought. What I find particularly interesting is that what is meant to be a holiday to remember those we love, has turned into a day of meaningless chocolate and long stemmed roses. All of a sudden you are expected to drop hundreds of dollars on gifts. Not that I don't appreciate a nice token here and there, but being the romantic that I am, I can't honestly feel happy about any one I date feeling obliged to get me something. I think we have lost site of the bigger picture. We should not have to have one day to express love. Love is something that should be expressed and validated daily. It is something that deserves to have the spotlight 24/7.

Those who know me know that I am a huge fan of Hallmark, in fact my dream job would be to write for them. So I can definitely appreciate any type of card that they produce. I think all that is ever truly needed is a card. I guess I'm just hopelessly sentimental like that. Kind words and a smile all anyone ever needs to have a good day. There is something so wonderful about hearing that you are loved.

Going along with the theme of love my weekend was amazing. I went to the Melting Pot for my post V-Day. I ordered a bottle of wine which I ended up drinking most of. I would have to say that I could easily go to the Melting Pot and only get the chocolate. Dipping poundcake into pure milk chocolate is the hottest thing ever! Saturday I got to sleep in. And boy did I need it. As much as I'd like to say that getting up in the mornings is easier, it really isn't. I will never be a morning person.


I love the idea of love... =D
