Happy Discounted Chocolate Day!


Assortment of chocolate candiesFlowers! Flowers everywhere. And no wonder why we have a national shortage of helium. Its all stuck in some cheesy balloon that says "Happy Valentines Day."  Ugh! How I hate that. Its a commercialized holiday invented by the greeting card company and corporate America. But, I don't hate it. Weird huh? I know. I actually like it. I know it is the one day a year that throws the fact that I am single in my face, but I don't mind. I am not a big flowers person, I am too old for stuffed animals, and I was not lying how I think that those balloons were cheesy. The only thing I like is the chocolate. And I really only go after them until the day after Valentine's day (discounted duh!). I guess I like what it represents. We live in a busy world. We are all stuck doing our own thing. But one day a year is set aside to show how love should be celebrated. Of course if it is true love it should be celebrated everyday not just once a year. And I am pretty sure Valentines day consists of more lust than love, but that may be just my cynic view.

Until Next Time...
