Valentines, Shmalentines

I don’t know….are you a big Valentines kinda person? Years of getting my hopes up probably make me all “bah humbug”. I mean, don’t get me wrong, bring home 50% off chocolate on Febuary 15th and I’m a happy girl.
Honestly.
This is for you.
(Yes, YOU reading THIS, that comment was meant for YOU. CVS. Rite Aid. Price Chopper. They all do that 50% off thing. And yes, it gets cheaper on the 16th or the 17th but by then, you’re just looking forgetful.)
But, so, do you have these ladies in the office who receive bouquets? With a teddy bear on a stick shoved right in the middle there? Delivered from some evil looking flower delivery person who just LOVES walking by Jane and Janet and Josey straight to Ginny and handing off the prize….while Jane and Janet and Josey pretend to be immersed in their excel spreadsheet but have this little twinge….
And the twinge isn’t jealousy really.
I mean, we all know our own personal situations. And Billy or Bobby or Bruce just wouldn’t DO that sort of thing. Waste of money and all that. Besides, he filled up my tank the other day without even asking and apparently my late Christmas gift is arriving in the mail any moment now.
But then I turn into a teenager moping at her locker and wonder….those bouquet buying couples….are they more in love?
Do straight from the freezer roses signify a more heated passionate love affair?
Does a call to 1-800-You-Better-Buy-Flowers-You-Idiot-It’s-Mid-February make you better in bed and all that?
Just curious.
I heard that if you plop a penny into the water it makes them stand up straighter. The flowers, that is. But, hey Ginny, please just bring those wilting dandelions home by Feb. 22 or else they start to smell like my compost.
thanks.
