Valentine's Day is just not my thing. I actually think it sucks and always wear black and try not to celebrate it. Try being the operative day. I had a boyfriend for 4 wonderful years who turned into a fiancée for about 8 wonderful months and has now been my husband for almost 5 wonderful months. He knows I dislike this day but he also knows that it behooves him to still give me a card or something. See, I like gifts and when a holiday arrives the deems gift giving then I want in.
Our first year together was quite a V day disaster...I vaguely remember having my car towed, it snowing and getting no card, no nothing from my new boyfriend! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!?? I still try to block the memories! When I calmed down enough to ask Alex why oh why? He said to me matter of factly that I said I don't celebrate the day and hate it so he respected my feeling and did nothing.
How could he listen to me like that? Doesn't he know better? Why didn't he read my mind? Just because I said I don't like the holiday does not mean I don't like chocolate or a love note.! Ohh boys, they just never understand!!
When I talked to my Dad about the whole ordeal he said to me....CLAIREEEEE how many times do I have to tell you this....Men can not read minds!!! (Really...I always thought THEY COULD!!!) Next time just remind him days in advance, tell him what you want and then you will be happy. Your mother does that to me.
So thats what I did this year...I told Alex I wanted Chocolate covered strawberries, where I wanted them from and hopefully everything will all turn out ok.
So, to all you lovely people out there...have a happy Sunday or happy Valentine's day if you are that kind of person. XO
