Ok sat here bored.....hence the previous post. Chris is still playing his match - Lloyd keeps emailing me the score - right now they are leading by 5 points and its the final period.
I can't wait for Lloyd to get home. I can't believe this year so far - my anniversary we couldn't go out because Chris was in Vegreville for a badminton tournament...then we have had either crappy weather or me with migraines or birthday stuff to do which has meant we haven't been able to have a proper date night or celebrate at all - still haven't been to La Ronde....
And now Valentines Night and someone (I BET it was a man!!!) arranged the basketball finals to be on Valentines Night. How utterly thoughtless. Now I know much of LP is full of miserable buggers who don't celebrate 'because we show our love all year round and don't need a special night to celebrate' groooaaaannnn...but I LOVE Valetnines NIght - we do show our love all year round yes and Lloyd tells me he loves me every day and we are very romantic all year round but GEEZ its a wonderful silly excuse to celebrate our love even more!!!!
And then people go on about how its a Hallmark Holiday and over commercialised - I REALLY don't get that! Like ANYTHING, its as commercialized as you want it to be. My gift for Lloyd hasn't cost me a penny - most years we make our cards to each other - yes Lloyd makes the card for me too.....all the treats I made for Valentines day IN ALL came to about $7. (Gotta love Dollarama)
Valentines Day isn't a Hallmark holiday - its origins are fgrom a LONG time before Hallmark. ALL holidays can be over commercialized if you buy into all the crap that goes with them - but that doesn't have to be what it is about. For me its about fun and love and happiness and celebrating the relationships around us - friends, family and partners.
If you think its over commercialized then thats YOUR thinking......and maybe you need to simplify your thoughts about holidays and what they truly mean - because you can celebrate them all without buying in to all that commercialism if you choose to.
Ok anyway - back to my original point. It's Valentines night and my wonderful husband is at our Sons basketball match. I hope its over soon and he comes home. I miss him.
(edited to add have deleted image etc as we are exchanging gifts and celebrating tomorrow instead and L may look at the blog lol)
