Valentine's Day

I admit it. I've never been a big Valentine's Day person. Holidays in general are fun, yes. But I really detest the commercialism of it all. I'll stop there. My dear friend Stephanie loves Valentine's Day. It's her very favorite holiday. She makes the cutest Valentines with her kids and makes the sweetest treats. I take water bottles to my kid's Valentine party at school. I like Valentine's Day as much as any day. My husband usually comes home with flowers and a hug and we give the kids a little candy. Everything was different this year. I'm typing this post on my Valentine's Day gift. This year my husband got me a blush pink Asus EeePC...the cutest laptop I have ever seen...so I can fulfill my dream of sitting under a tree or in a little coffee shop enjoying some solitary writing time.
Baaah consumerism. Yay for Steph, who knows what V-Day is all about. And love, love, love to my hubby who scored big points this year, not just for the laptop but for knowing that I like to write sitting on a blanket under trees.
