It’s almost that time of year again…..
You know…”THAT” time of year? When the world runs out of flowers and chocolates and wimpy, slobbery, gushy cards with big, red love hearts all over them……Yep – more commonly known as Valentines Day – the day for lovers.
So what’s expected of you guys on the most romantic day of the year?
Roses – preferably red and the bigger the bunch means the more you adore your sweetheart…..apparently. (Hmmm – so I’m guessing that the yellow weeds that my son pulls from the garden don’t count, huh? But I love yellow…and they’re the only flowers I ever get).
Chocolates – the most humungous box of which your loved one will scoff and then have to spend the next year hitting the gym trying to take all that extra weight off. And don’t you dare mention the slightest weight gain either – or you will be TOAST! Me personally – I loooove Ferrero Rochers……closely followed by Pineapple Lumps (but that’s just me…lol)
Poetry – even the most blokey of blokes are expected to become poetic geniuses on this day. And if you don’t know where to start – Google it! And don’t you DARE start your gushy glibness with “Roses are red, Violets are blue”!! No points at all for that effort!
Dinner – at an expensive restaurant, complete with candles and lobster. McDonald’s doesn’t count. Neither does Subway, KFC, Wok Me Noodles or any other such establishment that does not require you to a). wear footwear other than thongs or b). get out of the car to eat!
And don’t forget the massage, candles, satin sheets, yada, yada, yada……yeah, yeah we get the message…..lol….
Bleh. Meh. Whateva. Never could get into Valentine’s Day.
Now ME – I just LOVE a man who knows how to wield a mop and a broom!! And that’s about as romantic as it gets!!! Ha ha 🙂
Hope you have a good one! Till next time…..
