Happy Valentines Day!
First things first...
I love you! :)

Yes, it's Valentines Day... and with everything thing that's happened recently, I almost missed it.
Of course, I don't have a date tonight. I remain the eternal bachelor.
However I do commiserate myself with humorous facts and figures...
For example, according to Brain Candy, did you know that 15% of US women send flowers to themselves on Valentines day? And 3% of pet owners give their animals a gift, too!
Hallmark sell over 1330 different Valentines day cards -- and during the three days surrounding Valentines, over 110 million roses are given in the States.
Valentines day has history too...
Alexander Graham Bell applied for his dodgy patent on the telephone on this day way back in 1876. In Victorian times, it was deemed bad luck to sign a Valentines card. And in Wales, wooden love spoons are traditionally given as symbols of affection.
But I'd like to end my extra post today with a great little anonymous quote I picked up this morning...
"I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon."
Well said! :)
See you tomorrow!
