‘Tis the day to be romantic towards your partner and to tell that special someone exactly what you’re feeling. Hmmm. No! How annoyed would I be if I had to wait around till 14th February every year to find out how Evan is feeling? Lol
Isnt it funny how the price of Roses seems to increase 100% just for one day? Has Valentines Day lost its attraction and become too commercialised? I think so.
I can think back to my younger years (not that they were so far away!) and remember how the excitement level would rise about 2 weeks before this day as I would sit down and plot how I could deliver a card to some guy who I held a torch for …. and hope that he wouldn’t find out who the card was sent by (not that that makes any sense!!!).
These days, both Evan and I are lucky if we remember our wedding anniversary (guess who forgot this year?) , birthdays etc (although the mandatory sentence for forgetting birthdays in this household is extradition to the Dog House), let alone worry about some commercially driven “occasion” where the pressure is on to buy roses and chocolates and go out to an outlandishly expensive restaurant just for the sake of being out on Valentines Day!
If the truth were known, I think I would rather have a Luskin Star mare!
No, I’m not totally down on Valentines Day, I just think that it has now become an over-hyped Hallmark occasion, rather than a special occasion that means something very special to two people.
How are we celebrating Valentines Day tonight? Its now 7.30pm and Evan is busy with Gallopers Bloodstock and answering his mobile phone (the horse racing industry doesn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day!) and I am about to go into the kitchen and reheat the Lasagna from last night. But that’s ok….because we are together …. Just Evan and I and the 4 hounds – our family together, what more could anyone ask for in this life?
Hmm. and further to all of this, I would like to ask Messrs. Chan and Sukumaran how they felt about Valentine's Day, 2006!
