Heart Day

What a delightful Valentines weekend 2010 I had. Chris and I had a great dinner, and good wine and then he even managed to drag me to the movie Valentines Day. I didn't initially want to go, but I felt bad because I knew he had been dying to see this movie so I obliged. It was a typical corny romantic comedy, but I thought it was cute. Of course I practically had to close my eyes when Theresa Swift was on camera, I prefer to address her by a name other than my own. She was painfully bad at acting, she got some laughs but only because she over acted her role of ditzy popular high school girl so much it kinda seemed like she was trying to act bad on purpose. But I know she wasn't. My fav couple of the movie was for sure Bradley Cooper and Eric Dane (McSteamy). If two men could procreate together I would pay millions of dollars for one of their babies.
So in reflecting back on Valentines past I have really made great strides. I didn't exactly approach this holiday on the right foot from a very young age, I believe it was 1st grade when I became fed up with the fact that Valentine Cards were only available with lovey dovey sayings on them so the night before Valentine pass out day at school I took it upon myself to use a Sharpie Marker to black out every single phrase I felt might give a fellow classmate the wrong impression. Freshman year Kate and Kim and I revolted by eating massive amounts of heart shaped jello shots and listening to a CD I had made consisting of songs like Love Stinks, Highway to Hell and Love Hurts. Finally I had Chris for Valentines day on junior year, but it just so happened he was thousands of miles away in Europe... So on this night I celebrated/mourned by eating a very large heart shaped chocolate chip cookie Kim had made and mistakingly told me was sitting in her closet- I believe it was equal to about a dozen cookies. My stomach still hurts when I think about that moment.
