Valentine's Day always seems like such a weird holiday. They are gifts but sometimes not everyone gets one. There is lots of chocolate, candy and flowers too. Sometimes there is to much emphasis put on a day that has strayed so for from St Valentine. My old boss used to call it Single Awareness Day, because you'd know who was single quite easily.
Tyrone and I don't have any big plans this year. Tyrone has Monday Club tomorrow and we didn't really do anything today. I did make him a cute 'Be Mine' chocolate heart cake.
I started thinking of past Valentines and remember what I did.
I remember getting fun puzzle-cards in the mail from my grandparents. The cool mailboxes we made in elementary school to hold our Valentines. Eating conversation hearts. Sending friends flowers in high school if we were single so we wouldn't stand out.
I also remember Meatloaf!
I'm not sure what year this started but my mom made meatloaf for Valentine's Day. We would eat in the formal dining room and use all the good dishes. Sometime the meatloaf was heart shaped sometimes it was normal.
Tyrone and I spent our 1st Valentine's day with my parents eating meatloaf. It may not sound romantic but it was so much fun. We had only been engaged for about a week so it was time to let Tyrone in on our fun family traditions.
Don't worry Tyrone went all out that year. He brought me a dozen red roses and a card to work. However, by our 2nd Valentine's he was down to 2 roses one for each Valentine's we'd spent together.
So today I had this sudden craving for meatloaf and then realized of course tomorrow is Valentines's Day. So instead of going out and buying the ingredients I asked my mom if she was making meatloaf for dinner tomorrow. She said she would if it meant we would come to dinner. So Samuel is my date for Valentine's Day at Grandpa and Grandma's.
Happy Valentine's Day!
