Valentine's Thoughts

I'm not usually the lovey-dovey, let's watch a Nicholas Sparks movie and cry into my wine type of girl.  Oh, I'll cry if someone dies unexpectedly in a movie or show but I don't seek sad movies out.  They're just not my thing.  So will someone please explain to me how I've teared up twice in the last week?  Both times with a radio show online? Radio?!  I mean who in the world besides me actually goes teary-eyed over a story they can't even see?

It has to be this gosh darn holiday.  At least that's what I'm blaming it on! It's a fabulous day full of love, and flowers and chocolates...that is if you have a Valentine.  If not it's still full of chocolate, but usually in slightly larger quantities.  So what do I do?  I break a cardinal rule and listen to the lovey dovey "Every Seventh Wave" on BBC iRadio.  For the first 20 minutes, it's sappy and sad and definitely not a Valentine-y pick-me up. But then it takes a turn and it's sweet and hopeful and wonderful.  The perfect modern love story!  And so I teared up.  But just a bit and not in a depressed, blubbery way.  More in the "I definitely want a love like that" way.

So that's my special day in a nutshell.  Teary-eyed and Chocolate high.  But hopefully this will be the last spent like this.  I have high hopes (which I do every year, but that's beside the point) that Prince Charming is right around the corner.  So come on already dude, I'm waiting!

Happy Heart Day!
