Happy Valentine's Day!

Dear Internets,

I thought I'd take a break from the rant-iness of the past week to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day.

I made you a Valentine just for the occasion:



It's a conversation heart, get it? (Of course you do. You Internets are pretty smart.)

I love conversation hearts. In high school, my French teacher always gave us a handful of conversation hearts for Valentine's Day. After we translated them into French, we got to eat them. I think she gave me the hard ones on purpose.



Despite the fact that I'm generally a grumpy ogre, I really do like Valentine's Day. I think it's the color scheme. Or maybe the candy... I am a fan of candy-centric holidays. (I don't buy candy until after Valentine's Day, though, because I like to feel like I'm getting a deal on my sugar fix.) Instead, tomorrow Achilles and I are going to focus on eating delicious food. We're going to Lockhart to get barbecue, because Lockhart is the BBQ Capital of Texas and Achilles has never been (sacrilege!).



I am trying my hardest to feel less grumpy about the shady car dealership and the appliance delivery people. I made them a special Valentine to show them my desire to make amends:



Maybe it needs some work.

Happy Valentine's Day, Internets!

Love,
Jane

P.S. Dear Universe,

I didn't forget about you.



XOXO,
Jane

yeah, my roommate got a bunch of the "new" candy hearts from her mom, and they say stuff like "txt me!" and "hot sk8r". wtf? I really like your "fax me".

LOL! These made me laugh. In eighth grade my best friend and I got in trouble because we were writing mean notes on candy hearts and throwing them at our guy friends. When the lunchroom teacher saw, they sold us right out.
