Did you all get some sugar yesterday?
I know I did. Of the chocolate variety. (literally) Oh, yeah. There's nothing quite like Decadent Chocolates from Mrs. Fields. MMmmm.
In case you hadn't noticed, I am a chocolate lover. I would eat it in a box. I would eat it with a fox. I would eat it on the stairs. I would eat it everywhere.
I would like to personally thank all you couples out there who helped commercialize the holiday because this means that Target overstocked and I got my chocolate on sale. Yay you. Let's give it up for the couples!
I think being part of a couple is severely over-rated. I don't say this just because I'm not part of one right now. I say this because I don't regret not being part of one right now. This is not to say that if Hugh Jackman asked I wouldn't say yes, because I would; I would. No, it's more that when I was done working, I got to go home and eat my own chocolates that I picked out my own self.
Most people, when they think of a single woman eating chocolates on the couch, think also of Kleenix and uncontrollable crying, which is stupid, but I would argue that if a single woman in this situation does cry, they cry tears of joy. What else is there to cry about when chocolate raspberry cream is involved? Absolutely nothing.
I personally love Valentines' Day. I can't think of a better excuse to feel good about eating expensive-looking chocolates.
So to summarize: Yay for the couples who made it possible for me to get good chocolate for cheap. Yay Valentines' Day, which is a good holiday for chocolate lovers. Yay for chocolate in general.
Happy Belated V-Day Everybody!
Posted by LoWriter at February 15, 2005 08:45 AMSee now, i used to love Valentine's Day a lot when i was single. like, i was that obnoxious person who stuffed your PO with candy and recyclable cards. i also love to make massive amounts of sketti and share red wine and chocolate with everyone i love. thanks to my ma for making it a friendly type of lovey holiday!
Yeah, I made myself some fattening food that I've been trying to cut out of my diet in order to make sure I don't end up with a bad heart one day. It was excellent. I felt like the Cosby Show when he finally gets to eat his hidden potatoe chips or whatever.
Sketti is also a fine choice. I too used to send out little cards and packets of candy, but I found that I wasn't really all that sad about skipping it this year. Mom's truly are the best. I used to get a journal or a rose or something nice from my mom every year on Valentines' Day. Yay Mom's!
