It is another big day. That's right, Valentines day. Your favorite (or for some not so favorite) cheesy tacky red and white, heart and flower filled holiday. The one where you, as a child, would write every body's name on a little card with weird little sayings like "be mine", "sweetheart", and my all time favorite " I choo choo choose you". BTW if you can guess what show that one is from You will receive a shout out on my next blog. Remember saving your most special card for your fourth grade crush? I bet you do.
Every one reacts differently when they hear the "V" word. Some people get hearts in their eyes and cupids arrow stuck in the rear end. Others, search tirelessly for some one to spend their Valentines day with just so they won't have to be alone. Maybe those are the speed dating bar people. Some, cringe and refuse to get out of bed. while some drink copious amounts of alchole dress real slutty, jump on the bar, and declare in a drunken slur "F*#@ LOVE!" Some get excited about the holiday only to be disappointed by a significant others inability to be as romantic as the "Zales" jewelry commercials. And others aer actually blown away by butterflies in their stomachs.
How ever you act it still comes every year. I myself like valentines day. Jason and I are high school sweat hearts, eight years of getting fatter, and we still love each other. People assume that we have a really romantic love life if we have been together this long. But Ha romance has never been one of our fortes. We are most definitely not fans of PDA, and holding hands is for schmucks. when we go to concerts we are not that couple that is in the way. You know the ones where the guy has his arms around his girl trying to make a barricade so no one pushes or touches her. yeah, makes me sick. Nope not us. We meet in the mosh pitt.
That doesn't mean that we don't love each other. I know when he dutch ovens me in the morning it is love that makes him do so. When I pluck his eye brows so that it looks like one of them is permanently cocked I do it because I love him. When I scream "Charlie Horse!!!" like a battle cry and sock him in the thigh I really really really do it because I love him. Yeah that's me and Jason. Love till the end. Or until one of us ends the other...... (I'm being sarcastic guys).
But Valentines day isn't about me and Jason any more. It will be about Violet now. Finding red bows to put in her hair, and picking out funny little cards with cats and dogs and maybe even power rangers on them. Though I'm sure daddy with make sure that none of them have saying like "Be my Valentine" or "I love you". Daddy doesn't even want to think about Violet having valentines unless they are him.
So on this day give the ones you love an extra kiss, because if you don't Cupid might kick your ass some time later.
love ya!
