Valentines Day

Valentine's Day.  The single girl's equivalent of the atom bomb.  As a proud single girl, I was very happy to get some single girlfriends together, dress in all black and share rich food.  We called this tradition Valencraps Day.  I realize that this might seem weird to some, and like great fun for others, but it worked for me.  Until this year.

This year, I have the man in my life.  While this is a happy change, I do find myself feeling under pressure.  This is THE FIRST Valentine's day.  What do I get the man as a proper token of my affections? It is our first Valentines day, so a standard will be set. It is also on a Tuesday night, will he be willing to switch days with my mom?  Am I really caught in some kind of dispute about my time?  It is almost too much pressure.  Here is what I do know.  It will all work itself out. While I often accuse the man of being slow to change his ways, perhaps I need to change a few of mine. I certainly hope that Valencraps day will continue, we will just have to call it something else (and obviously hold it on a different day).  And if someone decides to celebrate Valencraps day and I am not invited, I understand that as well.  For now, I will continue to think about Valentines day, and decorate.  I came up with this display tonight.

It is the PartyLite Large Change-O Luminary with the red LED Pillar Candle.  Any red candle will work though.
