Surviving Valentine's Day

I have a confession. I HATE Valentine's Day! Is it because I hate all of the lovey-dovey stuff that goes on? No. I eat that stuff up. :)

Is it because I'm all alone on V-Day? No. My boyfriend lives in England, so I'm physically alone, but I know I am loved. <3

Is it because I think it's an overrated made-up holiday invented by the greeting card and floral industries? Getting warmer!

The reason I hate Valentine's Day (drumroll, please!), is that I work in a flower shop! It is our single busiest day of the year, and we spend the week before getting ready for it! I hate it! On Valentine's Day and the day before, I worked 26 hours in two days! I was tired and exhausted. Sigh.

But I did survive, and now I'm looking forward to a big fat paycheck on Friday. Oh, and my boss was nice and gave me the TWO days after V-day off. Yay! It took a week or so for me to get physically rested up, and to get my office work caught up (I was a phone girl for most of the holiday). So now, a week after the worst day of the year, I am back to normal. :)

Now that the holiday is over and it's smooth sailing until May (another floral business biggie: Mother's Day!), I will be back to regular posts. I'm also going to learn how to promote my blog so that more people will see it. I can't wait to have someone besides my mom read my posts!
