Happy Valentine’s Day! I went to Walmart and bought a bunch of candy (tubes of M&Ms with a heart on top). I put it out in the break room with a sign that says Happy Valentine’s Day! I got here early and snuck it in. Everyone is asking if I did it, and I’ve been denying it. Only the VP saw me, but he promised to keep my secret.
I am not a Valentines scrooge but I don't need a specific day to tell someone that I love them or that they love me. We celebrate our love everyday. We don't do gifts or flowers or cards for it or birthdays or anniversaries. We tend to do one big gift during the year be it a vacation or a new AC system or garden shed.
To me, Valentine's day is a Hallmark holiday. Flowers and restaurants mark it up for profits. And I am okay with that as long as I am not expected to participate in the greed.
Will I make a nice dinner? Yes, but only because I am home today. If I was working, it would probably be an easy, simple dinner.
So true. I've never been one to celebrate V-day. I never liked getting flowers because even though the "thought" is there, they die off. I believe, show me daily you love me by your actions and the need to have a "special" day isn't necessary. Every day should be special.
Every holiday is for profit! Might as well scrap all of them
Aww. I used to love VD too. Just one of those things I don't care about as much. I still get the kids cards and token gifts. It's like I don't want a big deal made out of my birthday, a little recognition is all I want.

Most holidays that I celebrate are about being with family and friends. I am not a big gift or card giver. I give more in Secret Santa presents than I do the rest of the year.
For me, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Fourth of July are more about being with family and friends. Halloween I love seeing all the kids (and adults too) around here getting dressed up.
A flock of flirting flamingos is pure, passionate, pink pandemonium-a frenetic flamingle-mangle-a discordant discotheque of delirious dancing, flamboyant feathers, and flamingo lingo.
I spent an hour following him down the
highway with my flashers going full tilt.
He was moving the tractor and tiller to
the area we will be preparing to grow
some of our watermelons and veggies
this year, to sell at the farm stand.
I must say, the "big-rigs" gave us the
most room as they passed us. They
were going 70, and the fastest the
tractor can go is 15-18!

Moma , you have a keeper! I wish he could bring his tiller hear. Too much for me to do. But I have the land!
