Happy [word that starts with "V"] Day

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.

Did you see where she got the giant teddy bear? It was seriously huger than she was.
