It's here again

That day of the year where many people feel obliged to give flowers, chocolates, candy, jewelery, cards and other gifts. I don't get it...it's not a day I've really ever liked much. It was okay in elementary school when you got a cute little card from everyone in your class, but as I got older I wondered why we needed to have a day to remind us to be good to those around us, especially those who love us...anyway, that said, Alex and I do celebrate, although somewhat quietly, this day of love. This year we kept it simple...cards and when I came home from work there were flowers waiting. We'll go out for dinner on Saturday, but we often have "date nights."
