Look, it's shiny
It's Valentine's Day! Godiva stores are swamped. Surely there is no greater sign of love than standing in line for a good 20 minutes, maybe 25, to pick up a carefully crafted Ballotin for your special someone. Look hon, it's so golden and shiny. Those with less love to give seen hitting the Russell Stover aisle at Duane Reade. Those no longer trying seen rummaging through the half price bins at the 99 cent store. I asked my mom to be my valentine, she said no.Of course the big dogs don't mess around with chocolate, for them it's got to be the bling. Ah yes, diamonds are forever, marriages, not so much. By the way, have you ever tried to sell a diamond?

I overheard two women on the train discussing Valentine's day at their office. The first one said, "the guys at the office keep asking why does giving flowers/chocolate have to be on this specific day?" the other one said, "cause you guys would forget." I just chuckled and they both look at me.
It sounded so pathetic. it made me think of the angry backlash trying to create "Steak and BJ day" (a great day for the guys to get what they really want!) or the anti-valentine's day movement (good lord talk about wasted energy).
anyway, buying jewelry to symbolize love is as pathetic as putting "God" on currency.
