Happy Valentines! Midway through Olympics...and thoughts...

 

So many things on my mind...  first of course, is Valentine's Day. Everyone always thinks it's all about the hearts and roses and chocolate candy, right??  Well....mostly, but there's a whole bunch of other things to take your mind off the sugary stuff if that's not what you're into.  Personally, I like the chocolate covered strawberries that my hubby gets me every year.  This year he found dark chocolate ones!!!  whoa that man is awesome...  😍

Ferris Wheel Day - for those of you who like these crazy rides where your seat is NOT stable and a very scary swing, lol, and it's warm enough to go ride one, enjoy!!  Personally, I like the one at Lagoon that is a circular seat that feels more secure.  Though...that one has a turning wheel so you can go in circles...and my hubby likes to do that to me.  😋  Here's a clip from one of my favorite movies...


Frederick Douglass Day - everyone should know why we're all telling you it's 42!!  If you don't, then perhaps you need to watch Hitchikers Guide to the Gallaxy...  🙂  and find out what a point of view gun is.  I think this would be the best valentine's day gift ever!!  😋 (unless you have a man like my husband, lol)
International Book Giving Day- this is another awesome thing.  Book giving!!  Who knew??  I think everyone should give out books...with a bag of chocolates to eat while reading...  🙂

Library Lovers Day - Personally, I love libraries.  It's peaceful, it's full of the written word that simply boggles the mind, and you can sit and read and no one thinks it's odd!!!  What are some of your favorite libraries??  Have you seen this one?

though I like this one on the beach! 

Quirky Alone Day - I'm sure this was invented by those who don't have someone romantic in their lives.  I'm not going to bother looking it up - if you're bored enough to look into it, have fun.  🙂  But it makes me think of this video...one of our family favs!!

Valentines Day - which brings us to this OBVIOUS celebration, lol. I used to love it as a kid, and want to fill all the valentine's day boxes with cards...and wanted tons in return.  It was always a reflection on how well you were liked, or how generous the other kids were in sharing with everyone, regardless as to if they liked them.  I think teachers learned after a while to hand out class lists to parents so that less of us ended up with one or two...  😏
  Here's my valentine's card to you - so even if no one else gives you one, you have mine!! 
 
Creme filled Chocolates Day - If you're like me, you aren't that into the filled chocolates.  There's always that odd flavored one that you wish you hadn't bit into.  My dad used to always set them out at Christmas time and I'd try and figure out which ones had caramel in the middle...  sigh.  Perhaps this explains why...
It's all a plot!!!

National Clementine Day - and last... those little oranges that are soooo much easier to peel.  Why in the world would the celebrate them in the middle of winter??  Although, I have to admit - I found a large display of them Saturday while shopping, and got a bag.  I like them!  Much better than regular oranges...  🙄  Interesting how there are so vary many different names for them...  (halos, clementines...)

S0!  there you have it, a plethora of celebrations on this day in February that was named for a martyred Monk and whatever other reasons you can find, lol.
 
Did I mention that we're half way through the Olympics and there is some fun stuff going on??  Although...  I saw a little clip the other day that made me laugh. 
Don't you think that would be fun to watch?? 

Last... we went and saw Murder on the Nile last Saturday...  ugh.  I mean, there were some good twists and all...and I like some of the background on Perrot, but they could have skipped the bar scene.  It's NOT something I'd recommend to anyone under 18.  Seriously.  In fact, I'd probably have to admit that I'm a prude when it comes to this, and say only married people should see it.  It's pretty explicit dancing.  No one is naked, (though the dresses don't leave a lot to the imagination) but it's HOW they're dancing... 😳
It's not as good as the first one, in my opinion.  I'm wondering if it's because it has not been done before and they had to put their own twist on it.  No idea...  but that's my thoughts.  Not worth seeing off some kind of filter.

other than that - have a great day!!!  :)

Wow... really??

so - I didn't realize it has been that long since my last post.  I think I kind of gave up on it, knowing I don't have many follower...
