So done in with Valentines Day already this year. Despite being a closet romantic I've never been a fan. It could be down to my memories at school when a good friend badgered her boyfriend for months to buy her a dozen red roses (no cliches here). Eventually the fateful day came and he virtually threw them across the common room at her and yelled, 'Here!'. With the magic of St Valentine in force she was blissfully happy and loved up with her 'perfect' boyfriend for the rest of the day.
If it's not that it could be all the pink and tat in the shops. After all does anyone really know where to put that fluffy bee holding a heart that reads 'Bee Mine'?
Or it could be the fact that if you're single it seems everyone else is coupled up, and if you're in a couple every single person out there appears to hate you. When I was on the phone to my bank earlier and mentioned that I had tomorrow and Friday off the girl said in a whiney voice, 'Oh please tell me it's not for Valentine's Day, I'm sooooooo jealous.'
Our plans don't differ from year to year. Jazz moved in with me around Valentines Day so we celebrate that anniversary (3 years!) with the premise that living together is one of the biggest challenges. It's an idealic couple of days to me - no cards, no presents just 2 days off work steeped in as much romance as possible and as little cheese as we can get away with.
Either way I hope you all have a great one! It doesn't matter how you do it just as long as it makes you happy! (oops a little too much cheese after all)
