Happy Made Up, Fake, Commercial, Spend Blindly Holiday

My favorite holiday is typically Christmas, but sometimes Thanksgiving will sneak in there or 4th of July or even my birthday (like last year).  Dead on for the past 32 years of my life, Valentine’s Day is my least favorite holiday.  What a waste of a day.

That said, I do have to thank a few people:
The security guard at work who brought in a box of See’s chocolates for everyone to share,
Erika, Gaurav, and Joy for the text messages,
Jen for the funny email,
the random guy I met at a party who asked around for my contact information (nice!),
Therese for the e-card,
Dad (who cleaned my place) and Mom for the Valentine’s card,
my cousin Mary for the greeting card,
Andy, Tara, and Lynne for pillow fight madness,
Tara for a romantic night at Epic,
and most of all to Daniel who took some time out of his busy lawyer billing every minute of the day schedule to drop by my office and give me a beautiful bouquet of flowers.  So, so sweet.  I am a girly-girl at heart and love pretty, precious things. 
Thank you, everyone!  As much as I hate this holiday, I had a great day.  Love to you all.
