On Valentines Day, I don't have anything against it, but you don't need a special day to tell that special someone you love them. You can do that everyday because everyday you you're with that person is special.
Early Valentine's Day for me

I am in the minority of women when it comes to Valentine's Day. I loathe it, with a passion. Any psuedo holiday that is used to guilt people into buying shit or making people feel bad that they're not in a relationship is evil. And if that isn't bad enough, it's the day six years ago that my dad dropped dead of a heart attack. I am in a relationship, have been for 15 years, and we have always made it a point to not celebrate on the day of. We'll do something, but never on the day of. Why go through the agony of trying to find a restaurant that isn't booked solid selling over-priced set menus when you can go out the day before or the day after and have your choice of retaurants and food?
Anyway, Jason and I went out to the movies tonight and saw The Monuments Men. Historically inaccurate, but an entertaining movie with an excellent cast and a plot that hasn't been done to death. Then we came back to my place and I made us burgers and tater tots. No gifts, no saccharine sweet cards, no guilt. In other words, like we treat each other any day of the year, which is as it should be.
And today's photo of the day prompt was "Out + About":
