Season of love

Hey dolls,

I know what's on your mind, "Where have you been, A!?" My bad for being so inconsistent with my blogging lately. No joke- I swear I don't have much personal time these days between my 9-5 and "new part-time job." In fact, the only reason that I am able to blog this afternoon and catch up with you is because I had to take a sick day from work. Unfortunately, this sick day resulted from a root canal procedure that went wrong this morning. I won't go too much into detail but let me tell you, two procedures in one day is not my definition of fun!

So I am now sitting on the coach, patiently waiting for the Vicodin to kick in, and catching up on all the bad soap operas out there. For those of you who are/were a Days of our Lives fan, don't worry... Stefano DiMera is still up to his same dirty ways.

You are bad, Stefano!

I love that I can go months years without seeing this show and within 2 seconds I'm already caught up on what I missed. Having back-to-back oral surgery and watching soap operas is obviously not my ideal way of starting the week; The only thing that's encouraging me to stay positive is that Valentine's Day is just around the corner.

For those of y'all who may have forgotten or are new to this blog, I LOVE love (in all its many forms) so I am all about this Hallmark holiday. My celebration of this "season of love" started off last week when I received this homemade VDay card from my friend K.Beat.

A reminder that a little gesture goes a long way!

This personalized card made my day because it's right up my alley- I'm all about wanting and doing more in 2013. Thanks for the motivation, K.Beat! This kind gesture also inspired me to do a little something special for my favorite siblings and roommates. (I really hope that they don't see this blog post until after the 14th).

I feel like you can never go wrong with chocolate and movies

The love doesn't stop there. In addition to showing your love for family and friends, I think it's important to also treat yo self! (Don't worry, I am treating myself within my weekly allowance. Thank you Targe Boutique and francesca's for having some great clearance deals).

A girl can never have too much jewelry

But it is always an added bonus when you get to show your love and spend it with someone special. This Valentine's Day cupid has decided that I get to spend it with my boy Chris. The details are still TBD but dinner, drinks, and/or a Lady Gaga concert are possible contenders. 

What are your plans for this season of love? Are you planning on doing something special with your family, friends, or loved ones? I am sure that some of y'all had to be inspired by something on Pinterest. Share your ideas and plans with me! Remember I am sitting in pain on the couch right now so I'd really appreciate some warm and fuzzes right now.

xoxo,

A
