It’s Valentine’s Day and I didn’t see a single giant bouquet of flowers or heart-shaped box of chocolates all morning. Not even a stuffed gorilla with pink silk boxers or an oversized red cellophane balloon that says Be Mine in silver Lucida Handwriting.

I was starting to wonder if it was cancelled this year. I was totally expecting it to be like last week’s episode of The Office. Giant bears and regular flower deliveries. Nope. Nothing.

Brad and I had decided not to do anything for Valentine’s Day. We didn’t actually decide that, we just both have a pretty indifferent attitude toward the ‘holiday.’ But when we got back to my office after our celebratory lunch of Lunchables and Sunchips, I found candy and a card on my desk.

Yeah, I’ll admit it’s nice to have someone to give you a giant bag of SweetHearts, a box of Hershey’s kisses and a handwritten card on Valentine’s Day.*

*I’ve been single on many a Valentine’s Day and it really didn’t matter. I had plenty of other people who loved me! So I’m not saying this is better, just different.
