Happy St. Valentine's Day...

Blah, and bah humbug.

I just can not stand St. Valentine's day.  Nor can I stand Halloween or any other "tradition" made up by marketeers to encourage the masses to spend more money.  Even the modern day Christmas and Easter get on my nerves because of the overwhelming commercialisation of it all.

But in saying that I won't criticise anyone who does choose to celebrate St. Valentine's day.  I will criticise those who celebrate Halloween though!

Now, I have a best friend.  Her name is KMHL.  As I was driving home this morning it occurred to me that if I say her initials as a word and say them quickly they rather sound like Camel!  lol

LOL...oh my goodness, the things my brain comes up with sometimes.  Sorry KMHL.  But it is funny.  I literally am laughing out loud to myself right now.

Anyway, back to the point.

I've known her near on 20 years, and she's the only person who knows me well, and I know her equally as well.  There's something so nice about a relationship like that.  There's no pretending, there's no filtering, we just are the way we are - and we get each other.  She's the funniest person I've ever met.

Ms KMHL loves celebrating St. Valentine's day.  She's always been a romantic.  I always tease her about her Mills and Boon view on life and love.  

I guessed last week that she was up to something when she asked me for my postal address and how often I clear my mail, but the thought left my mind....till this morning.

You've been reading my blog, Missy!  And that was very naughty of you.  But thank you!!  I love you, and I'm so glad it's you whose weirdness is compatible with my weirdness!

I was particularly impressed with the wrapping paper and the double sided tape - the detail, hun!!  Love it.  mwah mwah

And I have to say what a lovely way to celebrate St. Valentine's day; celebrating friendship.

Didn't I say recently that I have awesome friends??


Till next time...
