Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
I wasn't going to post anything today but I saw something on the Facebook wall of our work account. A truck driver had posted that Valentine's Day should serve as a reminder that we need to behave this way most of the year instead of just this one day.
That is a good point. I feel like most men feel really pressured on Valentine's Day (just check out the photo). On this day they must be romantic. The more romantic they are the more points they get from the wife/girlfriend/mistress/boyfriend. But let's face facts ladies, men don't like doing this. They do not like trying to figure out what piece of jewelry it will take to stay out of your dog house for at least the next 2 months. They do not like cooking you dinner. They do not like sending flowers. If you are lucky they will at least grab some half-dead roses on the way home from work and grunt at you a couple of times during the seven course meal you prepared for him. Their brains do not work like ours. We love to plan and surprise them. Guys are lucky to remember the date of Valentine's Day.
I think Mr. Truck Driver was right. There is way too much put on just this one day of the year. Guys, start doing things like making the bed in the mornings, take the trash out without being told, cook dinner occasionally (even if it is just a frozen pizza) and take the kids to school every once in awhile. I promise you she will be far less disappointed when Valentine's rolls around and you have only managed to come up with a cheap box of Russell Stover's cream filled chocolates. It's the little things that make ladies tick. Trust me, I am The White Oprah.
