Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Valentines Day is Not for Sissy’s

chocolate I for one adore Valentine’s Day.

An excuse to sleep in. If I get really lucky, if he wants to get lucky, breakfast in bed.

The joy I get from buying my babies some chocolate and silly stuffed chihuahua puppies.

Countertops covered in home made chocolate cup cakes, pink icing of course.

Little gifts of flowers and candy from Romantic Hubby.

A reminder to slow down and take some time for those you hold dearest.

The problem with Valentine’s Day, what about those St.Valentine forgot this year?

Granny likes my phone call, but misses her husband, gone more then 14 years now.

The holiday shines a bright pink spotlight on my girlfriend struggling with a new separation.

A friend, who is struggling with her health, doesn’t really feel much like embracing the spirit of Cupid this year.

To all of my dear friends not feeling the pink this year.

I wish you chocolate, and warm fuzzy feelings the whole year through…not just on this Hallmark Holiday.

You are right, there are many people out there who are sad today. I think just about everyone creates holiday traditions. What happens when the person you were creating the tradition with isn't there?

Great post. It's an important point for all of us to remember.

There are a lot of people today is hard for, and I'm glad you recognized them too! Everyone thinks it should be hard for me. Not hard... just a tad confusing :)

A sombering thought that not everyone is as blessed as we are with a healthy, happy family on this day of love.

Discounted chocolate tomorrow for everyone!

You said some good things here. I had a consciense and called 5 people who needed some support today. It made me feel better too.

So does my wife. She expects all the usual romantic gestures that the day denotes. And knowing what's good for me, she gets them too.

Hope you got your breakfast in bed.....if he knows what's good for him too.

That was really nice, thank you! I like how you don't live in a tunnel, but remember those who have different situations in life. It's a balance not everyone can see. I think it's pretty great you are like that, and shows you have great character.

I bet the little girls loved their gifts, they sound very cute!
