My Valentine's Day Blog

"The fact is, sometimes it's really hard to walk in a single woman's shoes. That's why we need really special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun." ~ Carrie Bradshaw, SATC

It's Valentine's Day. In celebration of that, I give you my favorite heart photograph. (Cousin Whitney, College Roomie, Me and the Oklahoma Girls in San Francisco!)

Most blogs will probably be one of two things today: (a) I am so lucky to be in love with someone so great; or (b) I hate this day and want it to end. Well, I can't write about (a) and I refuse to write about (b), so....let's try a different approach.

This year I tried to write a new Valentine's post, but I just couldn't get away from the post I wrote last year. If you're new to the blog since last February, go read it here. Because try as I might, I couldn't do any better. (And if you do go read it, and want to hear the rest of the home ec story, click here.) Each year on this day, my thoughts turn to the same place, and to my friend, First Valentine.

Beyond that, I want to share a fun Valentine's Day tradition that I started last year. Remember the teaser photograph from yesterday? Drumroll please......buying myself shoes for Valentine's Day! At the rate I'm going, I might have quite the collection by the time Mr. Right comes along! Anyway, the shoes.....

Last year, they looked like this:

This year, they look like this. LOVE that I found red ones--very festive, wouldn't you say?

So yes....today I am reminessing about the good ol' Valentine's Days and enjoying my new shoes. I think that this all sounds pretty fantastic to me!
