So, something about me that goes back as far as I can remember... I LOVE VALENTINE'S DAY.
Back in the days of show-and-tell and 3 recesses a day, you know, elementary school days, I used to bust out the hot glue gun and Mommy and I would go crazy.  Construction paper, lacy, frilly kind of craziness making homemade valentines.  No offense to you guys who are fans of the Scooby-Doo carton box Valentines, don't get me wrong, LOVES me some good old fashioned Care Bears valentines.  But this was just sorta my thing.  Seriously one of the best memories, getting your valentine bag and looking at who gave you those double-wide valentines (because obviously, that meant they LOVE loved you), throwin' down some refined sugar.  That's what's up.  Since then I guess Valentine's Day hase changed it up a bit.  You know, it's all romantic now, and those without a lov-ah talk about how commercialistic it is and blahblahblah.

BUT I DON'T CARE!  Because it's still one of my faves and i FULLY plan on making it awesome.  These above idears are some possible plans I might put into the works.  Unless I decide I'd rather BE pampered, than pamper...  haven't decided yet.

How are you planning on making V-day 2012 awesome?
