Happy Valentine's Day!

This is what I think about just before Valentine's Day every year:

Haha! It was too perfect to pass up.

Seriously, though: I am loved by a lot of people, and I love a lot of people. I didn't do anything creative for them this year; I had a lot of fun this morning sending messages to many who mean the most to me. They show me all the time that they love me an I am truly grateful.

As for the day itself, I have been battling a sinus infection all week, and at the moment I can't hear out of my right ear, so I think I will forego my other plans, stay in tonight, eat some Little Cesars, and watch four different versions of Cinderella. Or continue watching season 2 of Fringe. Or start tackling the 5th Games of Thrones novel A Dance with Dragons (I need to read two hours a day to finish in the 4 week library deadline). I can't decide. Oh, and I will be eating more pink, red, and white M&Ms than I should. Yummmmmmmm!

 Have a Happy Valentine's Day, my friends!

An early Valentine from Larissa!

The "love bug" that must have been hiding in the flowers.
Hello, Lady!

My dad surprised me with these flowers and chocolates. He is such a dear man! I am so lucky to be his daughter!

The flowers are pink, white, and red. You can't see it, but they match the M&Ms in the jar wonderfully. Dad knows me so well!
