Valentines Day

Ok, so I'm in the mood to rant and rave at the moment. I really don't like Valentines Day. If you need a special day to tell the person you love how to feel, then you don't deserve them. I hate all the pressure that surrounds Valentine's. I would much rather have Todd come home on some random day with flowers and make me dinner. It seems more romantic and heart-felt that way. If it's on Valentines it feels like he had to, rather than him really wanting too. There are 365 days in a year, why can't he do things on any one of those (he does by the way). There was a commercial awhile back for Kay jewelries that had the jingle "Every kiss begins with Kay" and it would show a guy with some huge diamond and a girl who was kissing him. Ok... to me it just seems like they are trying to say that anything less than a diamond won't make her love you. WRONG!! It's not the rock that shows me Todd loves me, its the guy. If it takes a diamond to make a girl love you guys, she's not the one, and when the money runs out so will she. It's just an overrated day of diamonds, flowers, chocolates, and balloons. Plus if you are single on V-Day the world looks at you like "Oh, I'm so sorry your alone!" My heavens... if everyone coddled single people all the time like they do on Valentine's, we would all be a bunch of dependent saps. I believe Valentines is just another day on the calendar. If you so choose to take your loved one out and do something romantic so be it, but don't do it because the calendar told you to!!
