Happy Valentine's Day. AKA, the most perpetually dissapointing holiday every year, right behind New Year's Eve.
I'm not celebrating this year because I think it's a stupid holiday designed to sell cards, flowers, and chocolates. And to make single people feel alone and hostile toward their married breathren, when every other day of the year they got nothin' but love.
Also, because last year I went all out, made Indian food from scratch, bought a bottle of bubbly, and made pink waffles from scratch. Only to end up alone, eating 4 servings of Chicken Tikka Masala, drinking most of a bott of champagne, and make pink waffles the next morning with a very terrible headache.
This week I'm treating February 14 as what it really is:
-A Tuesday
-Another day in the way of my weekend
-Another day in which I have to plausible reason to eat a box of chocolates.
Btw, did you know that Valentine's day, and more specifically Saint Valentine, had nothing to do with romance or chocolate fondue? It actually stems from the death of two ancient Romans, both named Valentine, who were executed (one even beheaded!) on February 14th for their attempts to convert Emperor Claudius II to Christianity in 3rd Century A.D.
On that note, happy Valentine's Day lovers!
