Magpie and Muttonfly

I’m thinking this Valentine’s weekend may have been one of the best.  I know, I know …  I should totally be the one hosting Valentine’s Day Sucks parties, but I just can’t seem to do it.  I can’t be a hater.  It’s not that I haven’t tried, mind you, because I have.   Last Friday for instance, I walked right into the grocery store fully anticipating a wave of depression – I even made certain my step was slowed and my eyes downcast, just to get the full effect.  But alas … reds and pinks caught my eye, the scent of flowers assailed me, fanciful chocolates captured my heart, and I couldn’t help but smile. 

I, my friends, am a lost cause when it comes to Valentine’s Day.   I hope the same might be said of you.

Now, onto President’s Day …
