I'm Digging This Valentine Stuff

This was a wonderful President's Day/Valentine's weekend...well, okay I didn't do a lot to celebrate President's day but the Valentine's part of the equation was very cool. It started on Friday when my 9 year-old son called a girl he's known since preschool to wish her a Happy Valentine's Day. They haven't lived in the same town for years now but she still holds a special place in his heart. Apparently it's mutual since her mother confessed that not only was her daughter thrilled to hear from my boy but she actually sleeps with a picture of the two of them under her pillow. I decided to share that tidbit with my son and he just beamed and even jumped up and down a few times.

It's young and at the risk of sounding condescending, it's adorable.

But he's not the only one in the middle of a long distance romance. My boyfriend, who also lives a few hundred miles away, sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers on Saturday. Irises and Stargazer lilies. Stargazers because it was while we were up in Lake Tahoe staring up at a spectacular star filled night that he first told me he loved me.

I do love his brand of romance. No generic red roses or heart shaped boxes of chocolates from him! No, he tailors his romance to fit who I am and who we are as a couple. How could I not love him?

So here's hoping that you all had an equally stellar weekend. If you didn't (and let's face it, for every one fabulously romantic V-Day each of us is bound to go through at least 5 sucky ones) just think about how your latest Valentine disappointment will help you better appreciate the day some fabulous person sends you your special flower or confesses to sleeping with your picture. Sweet things tend to taste better after you've munched on a little bitterness.

Trust me, I know ; )
