my funny valentine

Happy (belated) Valentine's Day everyone! My favorite holiday by far...lol. In honor of the charming holiday that couples celebrate by being in love and flaunting it duly, and singles celebrate by crawling into a hole in the sofa and eating lot of ice cream, I thought it was a good time to look back on my V Day memories.
Age 0-13 celebrated with Valentine's card--my favorite part was folding along the perforated edges. Barbie, Toy Story, Little Mermaid, and Lion King cards passed to each classmate, the best Valentine's were the ones with chocolate! (I really miss my childhood!)
Age 14-19 Every year it was crunch time from December to Feb 14 to see if we could get dates. Never worked. We ate ice cream on the couch.
Age 20- First V-Day date of sorts. Actually we were "just friends" but wouldn't you know this "nice" science nerd put the moves on me during the Big Lebowski.
Age 21- Went to the bar with girlfriends. It was fun!
Age 22- What the heck did I do this year?
Age 23- Worked this night and Big who I was casually trying to date chose to "hang out" with another girl...oh, there was drama.
Age 24- My first Valentine's day with a proper "Valentine" only I was living in NYC and so we did not get to celebrate. I sent a card.
Age 25- I worked at the restaurant I managed tonight of all nights. So embarrassed when my best friend from elementary school walked in. This is probably why I agreed to spend the rest of the night with Skipper.
Age 26- I can't remember this year either...do I have an early onset of Alzheimer's
Age 27- Spent the day with my girlfriend and her mom. :). And, because I can't seem to break this pattern, CPA came over for a little PG-13 fun. I figure if you can't beat em, join em.

My girlfriend gave me the most thoughtful gift...it is a book titled "I can't be good all the time". It is true, I can't be good all the time, and guess what, I kinda like that about myself.
