Remember when you had Valentine's Day parties in elementary school? And they SHOULD have been fun because you got to skip math and eat cupcakes? But inevitably, you worried about getting enough valentines and were always sneaking peeks out of the corner of your eye at that popular girl's valentines box. (Overflowing, natch.)
And then in middle school, they had that carnations gig, where you could buy a flower and have it delivered to someone? Talk about nerve-wracking! Of course, I had a great group of girlfriends, so I always got enough 'friend' flowers and maybe it looked to others like there might be one from a boy mixed in there (and sometimes there was, OK!?!).
So now as adults, there's a lot of grumbling about the commercialization of V-Day, as well as the 'I'm single' gripes, and the 'he should WANT to get me a nice gift, I shouldn't have to TELL him to' rants.
In the end, it makes a fine case for staying in bed on Sunday, with or without someone else. And if you want to hop up first, and make yourself a simple breakfast treat, I recommend Egg in a Nest. You know, where you cut a hole in the middle of a slice of bread and fry an egg in it?
Oh yeah. And Pinch My Salt put a holiday twist on it by using a heart-shaped cutter on her bread (which can be either really sweet or creepily vindictive).
Me? I'm off to the beach to visit my man, so that's it for me until Tuesday. I hope y'all have a nice weekend and try not to let the holiday stress you out, ok? It's supposed to be fun.
