Last year, because I was lazy, I just reposted my Valentine's Day post from the year before.
Here it is.
I was not very complimentary to Cupid, the annoying little fart.
So, regarding my disdain for the chubby, arrow-wielding, diaper-clad brat,
look at the picture below.

I have to again eat my words.
Not all of them, mind you.
Just a couple, but this time they will be dipped in chocolate to make them taste a little better,
although I still have to hold on to my previously uttered opinion that when you are alone,
Valentine's Day brings nothing but a little sadness, a little envy, a little wishful thinking.
And, for me, now it brings sympathy, because I remember those days.
I still maintain my opinion that Valentine's Day is for sweethearts.
Not for parents,
Not for children.
Not for teachers,
Not for classmates.
Not for bosses, siblings, cousins, or BFFs.
Besides, we don't really even know who we are honoring today.
There are a bunch of early Christian martyrs named "Valentine",
none of whom had anything to do with lovey-dovey,
and no one knows which one got the day named after him.
M&M is under orders NOT to get me any chocolate.
(I'm fat enough.)
No roses.
(They just wither & die.)
Hmmm, I wonder if he knows women don't really mean it when they say
"You don't have to get me anything."
??
(Just kidding, dear.)
We will go to Carrabba's for lasagna.
I will drink sangria like it's punch.
I will look in wonder at his lovely face
and wonder anew how I got so lucky.
I will make him brownies with drizzle.
And a good time will be had by all.
So, to those for whom Valentine's Day is still a day to be endured with false cheer,
please feel free to use this, with my best wishes...
