For Valentine’s Day this year there will be no dates….or car rides…heart shaped chocolate….or kisses. I’m getting to spend Valentine’s Day completely alone. I have never gone out on Valentine’s Day and this year will be no exception. Plain & Simple : it sucks.
But, I’m not going to let this one be about me. It’s actually CHD Day. It’s not about the Flowers, Candy, Gifts & Kisses. It’s about making those who are unaware of what 1 in 100 babies can die from aware. Aware that the deadliest illness to a child, one which actually ranks above Cancer, is Congenital Heart Defects. It’s something that is near and dear to me and my hope is that one day those number will be cut in half or eliminated. I hope that Pediatric Cardiologists realize that these CHD Babies need care well into Adulthood and that they will always need medical care of some sort. That’s my hope.
I did pick out some cute gifts on what I’d get me if I were getting me a Valentine’s Day gift.
I have a love for cowboy boots. I haven’t bought new ones in 6 years, but not because I need them. I hardly ever wear them, my current ones are sitting in the top of my closet waiting for the next big adventure that I’ll have to drag them back out again. Maybe I should mention I’ve worn them less than ten times?
You know the one place I didn’t visit in NYC….Dylan’s Candy Bar. I seriously have kicked myself for not going while we were there. That would’ve been a sight to see in itself. I will definitely have to go just as soon as I make my second trip to the Big Apple. That is something I look forward to more than anything, another trip to the Big Apple. Just can’t contain my excitement.
I love strapless and I love dresses. If I could afford Anthropologie on my College Girl pay, well I’d shop there constantly. I completely love Anthropologie, I’m tellin’ ya….l-o-v-e. So yes, black strapless dresses that make a guys heart beat uncontrollably I really really love these types of dresses.
But, since I don’t have plans for Valentines Day, I’ll sit home and drink one of my favorite drinks. I do love my Framboise…so this evening I will kick back with a bottle of Framboise, a hot bubble bath, and a good movie on the laptop. This ends my wild evening of Valentines Day. I’ve got my fingers crossed next year will be better…I mean things can only get better from here, right?
