Let's just cut to the chase and choose the most obvious topic for this week's post -- Valentine's Day. Either you love it or you hate it.
In this corner are those who sincerely believe that Valentine's Day is a vast conspiracy dreamed up by the greeting card, candy and flower industries. It's a day that utterly wreaks of guilt. Don't believe me? Test it out.
Forget the five pound box of chocolates. No roses -- long-stemmed or otherwise -- for your sweetie. Buy nothing pink. No heart shaped anything. Finally, mention what a stupid, contrived day you think it is. Then just march your sorry heart shaped butt to the proverbial doghouse cuz that's where you'll be serving time.
In the other corner are those who immerse themselves in Valentine's Day. What greeting card, candy or flower industries conspiracy? These guys are first in line to mail the cards, buy the candy and send the flowers. No sweetheart? No problem. Aficionados of all that is February 14th view the day through a wide lens. No sweetheart? No problem. Friends and acquaintances make their list.
The best thing about February 14th is February 15th. That's when all that heart shaped chocolate goes on sale.

I'm not a big fan of Valentine's Day. I care more that 365 days of the year I am loved by my husband and family and friends and that they show it here and there. I like getting flowers as much as the next gal, but I really don't care about it on V-Day one way or the other. Good post.
