The Impending February Holiday...

So it's that time of year again... That lovely time when all of the stores switch everything to red hearts, overpriced pink crap & sugary treats that are gonna break every one's New Year's resolutions. I am not a total cynic but I just hate the manufactured holiday that is... Valentine's Day.

This year's only plus is that it falls on a Saturday & I will be working a double at the restaurant! So at least I can profit off of all those people that go out to eat on Valentine's Day. Another plus to that is people tend to get babysitters & there are SO many less kids in the place that night! I am just one of those people that doesn't need 1 designated day a year to show my affection to the person that I am with. I think that everyone should be more thoughtful more often. Hell even my mom & I can't have a 2 second conversation without saying I love you at the end.

I only bring all of this up cause the commercials have started & it's just the tip of the iceberg cause the stress will start rolling in with people needing gifts & last minute flower orders & jewelery... I only have 1/2 priced candy to look forward to on Feb 15th... Or as we say every year, I am just gonna go out & celebrate Singles Awareness Day... ;)
