But, this is NOT a pity me I'm single so I'm going to stick it to 'the people' post. Rather, I have a small confession to make...
I LOVE Valentines day. There I said it.
And in the style of what my friend India does on her blogs (which are worth a read, she is hilarious and brilliant) I want to say thank you for ten things this Valentines Day.
1. Waking up to finding cute cupcakes for all the girls in our flat and getting chocolate in my pidge from friends who are too darn sweet.
2. Love hearts. My favourites (from the pack Zara gave me) being 'Funny Face' and 'Chase me.'
3. My tutor - giving up marking for Lent. Does this mean I can stop writing the essays?... I'm gonna say yes. Thanks Lozza. Winning!!!
4. Chasing Zero- what a great charity to be involved with. Let's share the love on Valentine's day
5. Hilarious and cute proposal videos that me and my friend Susie have been sending each other. (This includes Promposals.)
6. Lissie. She just did a cover of Fleetwood Mac's Go your own way. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OltcXMV-9Vk).
-Quite 'breathy' towards the end, but still phoa!
7. Top Gun. I watched it for the first time last night. Big fan. Although, is it just me or is everyone really sweaty alot of the time?!
8. Flowers. Today I bought some funky tulips. They're my favourite (after Calla Lilies).
9. Skyping my Nana and Grandad. They never fail to make me laugh and are almost too cool to be grandparents. Case in point: Grandad used to fly planes and built one too, my Nana is part of the W.I. and can cook a mean Bolognaise, and they both have smartphones and facebook.
10. LENT. My Mum sent me a book in the post which focuses on what Lent is all about using the film Chocolat for analogies. i.e. This lent, instead of giving up chocolate I am watching it, reading about it and eating it. Sweet :)
So, yay for Valentines day! Whether you're with someone or not, I hope you spend today/this evening, celebrating love.
And I know you shouldn't need a certain day to tell people you love them, and it's all commercialised yadda yadda yadda.... but it's here, it's a bit of fun, let your hair down and enjoy it!
Lots of LOVE xxx
P.s. Went for a 12 mile run on Tuesday, and a 4 mile one today- we are on track. Yay!
