Ahhh, all the pink, red and otherwise hart-influenced candy must be getting to me. Or driving me crazy. I'm leaning toward the latter. At any rate, tomorrow is the big day for some people, and that coupled with a three-day weekend has people going over the top. I'm actually rather sick of hearing what everyone else is doing for the holiday, and what sweet things the radio DJ is doing for their significant other. Ugh. Here at the Casa Snow, Valentine's day is the one where one of us (read: hubby) picks a fight so that he can feel off the hook in terms of doing anything slightly romantic. It's our lovely little tradition :)
The other annoying thing about the day is that it always results in sappy movies 24/7 on TV. Honestly, if I see Julia Roberts one more time in Runaway Bride, I may scream. (At one point in my life, I enjoyed this movie. I don't know what happened since then, but it's no longer at all cute.)
About the only thing that makes all the romance okay is a nice,good book to read. Now, I generally don't do straight up romance. If there is a half-naked man on the cover, I'm more than likely not going to even go in that isle of the bookstore (mainly because I'll never live it down with hubby, and quite frankly he already has enough ammo). But, there are plenty of other books out there with a fun romance on the side, along with some good adventure tossed in, too. At the moment, I'm reading Rebel Angels by Libba Bray, and it has just the right touch of romantic intrigue. Actually, this series has pretty much won me over completely--how can Bray be so downright hilarious? I have a bunch of others that I adore, and I think that I might just have to curl up with them later, if only to make getting through tomorrow bearable.
