Happy V.D.!

I really love Valentine’s Day. A lot of people complain about it being a “Hallmark holiday” or they bitch about the obligations they associate with the day, but I like pink, I like red, I like hearts, I like candy...heck, it’s actually SAINT Valentine’s Day, so...you know, it’s a holy day of sorts. We may not know who the real Valentine was or why he was so saintly (look it up, there are a few possibilites), it's still a sweet day to remember all kinds of love.

I’ve made a lot of Valentines over the years, but this (or a variation on it) has always been a favorite. Unfortunately, I am the only one who finds it funny...or finds worms on a Valentine funny, for that matter.

I also have a fondness for martinis...gin, please. Oh, Martini...Olive you.

And then there’s the sincere...

Happy Valentine’s Day, ya’ll!

Happy Valiumtines Day!

Personally, I am a fan. I like pink, I like red, I like hearts (both anatomical and graphic), I like candy and cupids and all that stuff. I don’t insist on gifts of diamonds or roses, but I do insist on a card. Handmade is preferable, but being a lazy person, I do not object to fueling the Hallmark beast because, let’s be honest, card designers need to make a living too. You can tell me that you don’t need a holiday to tell the people you love how you feel...but I bet they’d like it if you did anyway.

May cause dizziness, swooning and heart palpitations indeed.

Bee Mime.

It’s the subtle differences that are important.

I happen to love Valentine’s Day. Not for any particular reason. I just like hearts and candy and pink and red. And bees.

Badger, badger, badger, MUSHROOM, MUSHROOM!

Oh, that song! How I love it. (Short version to avoid annoyance...ha!)

Sometimes, I flounder a bit.

It’s a totally random joke and only a few people really get it. I think I have also used it in the past for Valentine’s cards. In fact, I think they  said, “It’s no fluke that I love you,” which is an even worse joke. And if you don’t know your Atlantic fish, they make no sense. Which is probably why I love them.
