Well, friends, Valentine's Day is in less than a week. This means that more and more customers will come in to my work frantically looking for last minute Valentine projects and cards and will be more and more disappointed with how little the store has left to offer. I think it's interesting, working in retail it's like I'm living a few months in the future. In my store it's simultaneously Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and Easter. And it's definitely not winter anymore. The Spring florals, pinwheels, and cute other home decor all claim otherwise. (Then we look outside and it's snowing. At least last week.)
This is my first year ever to actually care that Valentine's Day is less than a week away. What does a girl do for a guy for Valentine's Day that is not over the top but also not under? I've never had to think about this before. I think it would be somewhat easier if I actually planned to see him on Friday, but we both work and will probably be limited to Skype. Anything I give him has to be planned ahead. Like right now. So I can send it through the mail. Or does anyone have any good ideas? I know that people should feel appreciated every day of the year, not just on special days like this - which one can argue was crafted by the greeting card companies... but still, it's nice to have a day to say, "yeah, you know, I kind of sort of like you."
