Love Love
In honor of Valentine’s Day (the history of which you can read here – it’s not some Hallmark holiday like Sweetest Day. Seriously what the hell does that even mean?), below is a list of things that I love (in no particular order):
- My momma
- Cheese
- My roommate/boyfriend (cue aww)
Celebrate in your own way
- My sister, father, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and the rest of my wacky family
- All of my beautiful lady friends who constantly inspire and enlighten me. They are all wonderful
- My guy friends, who are awesome and pretty wonderful too
- Getting into bed with freshly shaved legs and super clean sheets
- Netflix
- Wine
- Lists (surprise!)
- The fact that our new kitty is acclimating well and followed me around like a shadow this morning while I got ready
- Being a grown up (sure, taxes and bills suck but so does puberty)
- The way my ass looks in the skirt I’m wearing
- My blankie and stuffed monkey, George
- Watching it snow from the comfort of my living room
- Being right
- Ice cream and cookies
- Especially E.L. Fudge cookies
- Did I mention my awesome family and friends?
- The fact that it’s staying lighter a little longer each day
- Days where I get to sleep in late
- My momma
Clearly, I have a lot in my life to love. This day means exchanging valentines and candy during classroom parties when you’re a kid and then somehow it turns into something that we’re supposed to splurge and spend on…I think it’s a day to remind those we love that we love them. Not to say I won’t be enjoying a nice sushi dinner out with my significant other, but that and a card will about cover it.
I’ll spend the rest of the night telling my pillows and cookies just how much they mean to me, too.
