Ah... it's Valentines Day.
All day as I've been running around going to work and attempting to get other life things going, I've been trying to figure out what I should write about for Valentines Day. I have nothing against the holiday, but I also don't have much planned either. Either I'll go to a movie with my mom (Winters Tale comes out today!) or I'll go to a friends house. Nothing fancy. However, I felt as though being a blog whose title and whole theme has to do with love... I felt like I should do something special for a day dedicated to love.
However, I then read a post written by one of my blog friends, Sweeny. (She also writes for the Snark Squad.) Her posts this week have been completely fantastic, but in view of Valentines Day, I felt like she said it better than I could.
So... go on over to her blog by clicking the link below, then go spend time with the people you love. Whether it's your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, fiance, child, parent, friend - WHATEVER. Just spend time with them.

Simple Valentines Day
Do you remember Valentines Day when you were a kid?
Working at a pre-school right now, we've been talking a lot about Valentines Day and how we're having a big party for it tomorrow. It makes me reminisce about when I was in elementary school and having class Valentines Day parties.
Going to the store with my mom to pick out what box of Valentines I would give to my classmates and decorating our mailboxes or bags in class. It was always a lot of fun.
Did you ever make a huge deal about who would get which Valentine? I totally did. My teacher was always obvious because the box gave you a specific teacher card ... usually. Everyone else was always a challenge.
First there was the card for your best friend at the moment. They obviously needed one which was awesome and cool and the best card ever to show you really were BFFs.
Then you would pick out the card for him. Yup. The crush. It had to be perfect. It had to be way cooler than the other cards you would give to the rest of the boys in class, but it couldn't be too mushy or something because then OBVIOUSLY he would figure out you had a crush on him and that just COULD NOT HAPPEN EVER.
As Ron Weasley would say "You never tell a girl you like her. It makes you look like an idiot."
Or in my case, a boy.
Also, if any of you can find me GIF of Ron saying that quote from A Very Potter Musical, you will be my best friend forever. I couldn't find one anywhere.
Anyways.
Then you would get to school and everyone would hand out the cards and you would love to see which ones you got and be all mad if someone else got the same box of cards as you.
Good times. Good times.
It was a simpler time when we were all innocent (for the most part) and life wasn't as complicated. In a way, I'm actually really excited for the pre-school party tomorrow.
But that also might be because of chocolate and parents are running it, so basically we teachers just get to sit back and enjoy.
What are your favorite Valentines Day memories from when you were younger?
