VD's For Everyone!!

There are three types of people it would seem. The romantics who love Valentine’s day (now limited in number and continuing to die out), those that loathe and despise it (let’s call them the “loathers”), and those that sit at home watching TV, crying about how alone they are in this world. The “loathers” are the ones who get all worked up about the commercialism of Valentine’s Day. They think we should all be “Outraged”! As for the “sit at homers”…don’t you worry, someday, or so they say, you will find the one. I, for some reason, have managed to escape both pathetic scenarios and treat Valentine’s Day like it was any other day. No big thing although, I definitely want one. I have never once had a Valentine. I hate to be so…non-pragmatic but I want the romance. I want flowers and chocolate. I want dinner and hotel rooms. I want lacy panties and pushup bras that put that “look” on his face. I want the passion, the fun, the time spent thinking about each other, I want all of it! For those of you who go off on the whole “commercialism”, “their out to get our money” crap, remember, Valentine’s Day was celebrated way before they boxed chocolates. Shakespeare wrote about it and he didn’t mention spending tons of money, it was the idea of celebrating something that you may have that perhaps many in the world may be lacking. I’m sorta sick of the bitter bitching about money. If I did have a Valentine I would make it special every single year. I would go above and beyond, simply because I could. You don’t have to spend hundreds on jewels, just love your love and appreciate them a little more than you normally do for one day. Take a bubble bath. Eat dinner with a candle lit. These are not serious, go in debt ideas.
If you have found “the one”, then you are so lucky. This is a blessing you have been given and if you don’t “feel” like spending money on “the one”, or the two of you have decided to not celebrate your love this year, what fools you are. If you were to lose your love sometime this year would you regret your very last Valentine’s Day? I’m just saying.

Wow that was sappy, but good. You know my Valentine's philosophy (or do you?). I don't think its a gift holiday at all. Like, I wouldn't buy Owen a DVD unless it was something like the first movie we saw together. And homemade Valentine's are the best. But this is not true for everyone. If what makes your honey smile are diamonds then what the heck. (oh, and those push up bras and panties are pricey)

My point is, it dosent matter if you buy the pricy panties or make a card at home, I just think it should be celebrated.
