Heart Day

Do you remember Valentine’s Day in elementary school? We moved around a lot, but it was always the same for everybody. We decorated bags that were taped to the front of our desk. There was a party with sugary goodness. Probably around 1:00 or so, we all passed out our Valentine’s to everybody. I remember how we would get a list and you either had to bring one for everybody or nobody. Which there was always somebody in my class that I didn’t like. Surprise I know. So I would sort out my Garfield Valentine’s with my list. I made piles of cards that I loved, liked and thought were ugly. So if I didn’t like you, you got a card that I thought was ugly and I just scribbled “Susan” on the back. I’m pretty sure that the person didn’t know that, but I did. That’s all that mattered. I knew you were getting the ugly card. On the flip side, I always picked the cute boy in the class and drew a big heart on the back. Right, cause my big heart gave him a big signal that I had a crush on him.

So Happy Valentine’s Day to you and to my sweet husband. Eat lots of chocolate today - I know I am!
