Be My Blog Valentine!

As you may or may not know, I participated in the Be my Blog Valentine Gift Exchange. I am the worst partner ever and just mailed mine out today... It's time to break the silence, Carmen, yours should arrive from Canada Post on Monday, sorry about that!
Today, I got to make the cross-town drive to UPS to pick up my gift from Lindsay at Adventures of a Book Thief, and check out what I got:


Amazing chocolates and candies! You might notice that some of the milk chocolates are gone... I couldn't wait on the way home, so I had a few, and a few turned into half of the bag because they are so freaking good!
Thanks, Lindsay!!

Self Love

I found this over at Sizzle Says and I think it's an awesome idea. If you don't have a significant other this Valentine's Day, and even if you do, I think it's important to take this day celebrating love and use it to remember to love yourself. Here's what you've gotta do:

1.) You’re gonna grab yourself a banner. If you don’t like the one I’ve used in this post, you can find another one here.

2.) You’re gonna post that banner and then tell us all something that you really like love about yourself (thus, the “self-love” portion of our program).

3.) Ask or beg your readers to post one thing that they too love about you!!! If your blog friends are nice, you shouldn’t have to beg…much.

And here we go with my self-love part:
I love my ability to love others. I love taking care of people and things, and usually I'm pretty good at understanding what others are thinking and feeling and anticipating what they need. I think that's something that I'm good at, and I love that I finally know what I really do well, as I spent so many years in school being good at every subject but not really excelling in anything in particular. That ability is what I love about me.

And now it's your turn:
YOU are supposed to tell me what YOU love about ME. Awkward, yeah, especially if I don't get any comments. Come on guys, you've gotta comment, please, I'll develop a complex!

So Happy Valentine's Day, y'all, and remember to love yourself as well this holiday and every day.
