I am a bit "anti-Valentines day", too, but I like the Holiday at the same time, because I think it's a good way to set a goal for yourself -- to remind yourself that you should treat every day the same way that you treat Valentines, almost like a New Year's Resolution. It's good that you're doing a different sort of post, though! Happy Anti-Valentines day to you! <br /><br />Alexandra~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-4706894274673334472012-02-14T15:06:15.250-05:002012-02-14T15:06:15.250-05:00PS Happy UnValentine's Day!PS Happy UnValentine's Day!Tales of Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938494589922620170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-50386697487771370552012-02-14T14:40:29.758-05:002012-02-14T14:40:29.758-05:00Yes!
