Valentines...hooray

It's Valentines today.  Happy Valentines.

I am not a huge fan of this holiday.

I have some good memories of it when I was a kid, because lets face it, it was another reason to have a party all day at school.  You also got loads of candy, and my parents would always surprise us with a little gift.

Before I was married I hated dating. 

Therefore I never really had "big" Valentines dates.

My hopes every year were to just fly under the radar,
which I did very successfully.

As a married person I don't even think the radar is working anymore!

They don't celebrate Valentines in Korea, so that combined with the
 fact that Soung Sik is a man means he thinks it is totally lame.

He is so lucky that he married someone as
equally unromantic as himself.

But here's my real problem with Valentines.

I don't like people telling me what to do.

I get pretty mad if I even perceive that someone
might be telling me what to do.

So when I am told by society and Hallmark that I have to tell people I love them, it makes my skin crawl a little.

So here's the deal everyone.

If  I don't hate you, and believe me you would know,

then feel free to assume this Valentines day that I really really love you!

Please don't be offended if I didn't get you any chocolate to

 help ruin your new years resolutions of losing weight.

aaahhh - that was nice to finally get off my chest.
