Valentines Day

I hate valentines day. It just seems to be a created holiday - makes some feel bad because of not having someone to share it with, makes others disappointed because what they expect isn't what they get. All the attention is on expressing love that should be shown year round and not because it's required on a certain day. So why do I choose this month for my annual bunco party - not sure, but I do like red, hearts, and flowers. It really doesn't have anything to do with a husband. My mom's birthday was Valentine's Day - now that she's gone, it makes me miss her even more. It's hard to believe it's been 14 years already - it doesn't seem like that long ago. I wish I had been a better daughter. But enough of that. I'm exhausted and looking forward to a week-end without any obligations (as of this time---). It's been awhile!
