Navigating the ins and outs, ups and downs, celebrations and tragedy...of a dizzy girl in the booming metropolis of Raleigh, NC. Never short on laughter, love, spite, or sarcasm.

False (Love) Alarm

I don’t hate Valentines Day, I REALLY don’t.  I think people go a little overboard but hey, I love love just as much as the next guy.  I also like to play the role of the quintessential “cool girl” who doesn’t care if she gets JACK on February 14th.  THAT SAID, I’ve been secretly hoping that SOMEONE would get a clue and take care of the fact that no matter what…EVERYONE WANTS FUCKING OVER PRICED FLOWERS DELIVERED TO WORK SO THAT OTHER BITCHES IN THE OFFICE ARE ALL OOO-ey and AHH-ey.  I said it. 

So…I’ve pouted a significant teeny tiny portion of the morning since none of my prince-charming-to-shame-suitors the XY chromosomes in my life have had the psychic ability good sense to send me something.  When suddddennnnlllyyyy, there’s an EMAIL!  I have a PACKAGE/DELIVERY DOWNSTAIRRRSSS!

I fall all over myself gracefully float the entire way down and bop up to the shipping and receiving window which is PILED with boxes from 1-800-FLOWERS.  And patiently get in the gaggle gathering of girls waiting to be handed their particular incarnation of affection.  The boxes are handed out, each girl getting flowers hidden in cardboard…except me…who is handed a box the size of a lap top.  From Anthropologie. 

Fleece Lined Tights and a shirt…I ordered for myself…and forgot about.  Delivered TO me, BY me…on Valentines Day. 

And if that ain’t a fuckin’ metaphor for my love life…I don’t know what is.  Haha!

Happy Heart Day Ya’ll!
