Valentine's Day Abroad

Usually the couples interrupting my brisk walks to and from work with their public displays of affection are annoying. Today, however, on the day devoted to love, they are not. Rather than rolling my eyes and sighing loudly as I diverted my initial path, I smiled. I am a sucker for love and romance. Everyone who knows me knows that.  Since I am not with a "special someone" this year I will choose to live vicariously through those I see in, arguably, the most romantic city in the world.

Valentine's Day:  A holiday loved by many, hated my more, and attributed to the greed and cunning of Hallmark. Or, as I like to think of it, a day to wear fancy red undies (just for you or for someone else's viewing pleasure) and eats lots of sweets.

I may not have romantic plans in the city of light and love tonight, but I am not going to sit around eating Double Stuff Oreos and watching Sex and the City. I am going out on the town with my new friend. We are going to get dinner and watch the psychological thriller Passion...appropriately named for the day, no? And guess what else...she is even going to spend the night ;)

I hope y'all enjoy your holiday!

Just remember, giving a heart on Valentine's signifies giving the most important part of yourself to someone!

GAG!! Don't worry, it's from a children's book that we read at story time yesterday! Still, it is kind of sweet.

Happy Valentine's Day friends!

Bisous!
