Conversations, Hearts

Happy Heart Day - Because even if you don't have a valentine, you can still have a happy heart.


My friend Ginger let us use her house for a glorious valentine-card making soiree last night. To be honest, I've never been a paper-craft girl, but I felt pretty good about my ability to use glue and doilies and pre-made birds for something simple and cutesy. (You may recognize this as the same location for my Obama/Biden finger puppets on election night.)
 


There are a few things that I really like about Valentine's Day:

1. The colors pink and red together. I am one of the few in this world who enjoy this combination. It has to be the right pink and the right red, though.
2. Conversation hearts. Since as long as I can remember, I've closed my eyes before reaching into a pile of these candies, thinking, "This is what thinks of me." Today's conversation heart fortune told me that Joel thinks I'm a Cutie Pie.
3. Classic r&b/soul. I know it's not really tied specifically to Valentine's Day, but just go put on a Sam Cooke record and you'll understand.

I rewarded my single self by purchasing an originally-expensive box of chocolates at 50% off the day after Valentine's Day.
