So over it!




I hate Valentine's Day. It's over rated and used as yet another marketing tool to get people to spend, spend, spend! Valentine's Day has been commercialized to the extreme - Wal-mart has had the visually assaulting "red" aisle packed with stuffed animals, candies, and packs of children's valentine's for over a month. I can't wait until the day is over. What aisle is next? I think Easter but honestly can't remember at the moment if it's that or St. Patrick's Day - ahhhh, now that's a holiday, who doesn't like green beer? Interesting fact I didn't know until last night when I was in my French class is that children don't celebrate Valentine's Day in France. Professor Huzieff talked about how children there do not pass out little cards to each other, the holiday is meant for lovers not children. Makes sense.


Anyway, found this pic and thought it was funny. I had another one but I wasn't sure that it would be appropriate.

That is exactly why I celebrate Valentines Day, because the french hate it... "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
