V-D

There are days in the calendar that give me goosebumps -- today is one of those days. For sheer corniness, I give Valentine's day or V-D (just so it would be mistaken as an acronym for that other VD as in Venereal Disease -- har-har!) -- a 9 out of 10. It's up there with mawkishly sentimental weddings and creepy declarations of love under the twinkling stars.

Before hubby went to work today I told him to go easy on the V-D surprise, but I told him I'd rather stay at home than go out on a dinner date along with a million other people like a bunch of lemmings ready to jump at the sight of a dozen red roses and chocolates. Gag!

Forgive my sarcasm, but it's a conspiracy, really. Restaurants, malls, greeting card companies -- it's all a scheme to milk romantic suckers of their hard earned cash. If you really want to declare your undying love, do it everyday and not just on this day, puhlease!
