valentines day is coming ... wether you like it or not

i have to say i am not one of those people that believes valentines day is about chocolates and flowers and over the top shows of love. it is just too much for me.

mas and i have a tradition of heading to a fast food restaurant and calling it a day. it used to be mcdonalds, don't hate me ... it was a while ago ... before i cared about what i ate and still relished in my childhood memories that were laden with big macs and french fries. anyway it has since turned into a more animal/environmentally friendly meal though still perhaps considered fast food.

but that is besides the point almost entirely. the point is we don't really exchange gifts, just nice cards and the company of one and other in a place we would otherwise not frequent. now just because we don't exchange gifts doesn't mean i don't scour the internets in search of the cutest and bestest valentines day goodies out there. let's face it there are lots and lots and lots of things out there with hearts on them during this season and we all know what a nut case i am for some hearts ").

there is also an amazing amount of candy and candy inspired paraphernalia out there (have i mentioned i have a pretty large sweet tooth?) which i tend to fall in love with. then someone goes and pairs candy colors and cute little wooden figures and comes out with one of the most amazing little doo-dads of the season. i know you know someone that wants one, or two, or perhaps three for $24?
