I'm pretty anti-holiday in general but a certain person in my life loves holidays. These were waiting for me at the office this morning. Purple irises are my favorite flower. :-)
Those do look nice.... My problem with the Holiday isn't the holiday itself ... It is the social Norms that go along with it.... Say I buy someone a nice thing from Reeds or where ever then that comes with certain expectations like great sex... Or at the very a nice gift back.... See it is nice to give gifts just to give them but Valentines day isn't about that... It is about you have to give something and what ever you give and how you do it is = the love....... So because of these social norms if someone one isn't expecting something from gives a gift it would feel awkward..... In other words if someone just gets you a heart felt card the relationship is over......... Now a hand made Card of glitter might be different cause that takes a lot of time and effort but.....
Nice Flowers hope the holiday treats you well...
