Feb 4

My roommate, Monica, met with her dad a couple of weeks ago and came back with oodles and oodles of valentines goodies. We're talking conversation hearts (meh..), these irresistible cupcakes, and best of all... Justin Bieber valentines day cards (stickers included). This was at the end of January and its shocking to me that these cupcakes have not vanished yet. She even gave Carlee, Sparkles and I permission to eat them. Carlee and I did finally give in last night and split one of them and it was nearly impossible to not reach for another one. The icing was impeccable! Remember those little barbie cakes? The ones that had the barbie stuck in the middle of them and the cake was her dress? Remember how amazing the icing on those cakes were? Thats how this icing tasted. Valentines Day makes everything yummier.

Finally! A new theme! The month of February is going to bring pictures of love. I've been thinking a lot about how I wanted to approach this theme. I wasn't sure whether these pictures should be of things that I love, or be examples of actual love, or be pictures of cliché symbols for love. I'm awful at choosing so I figured I should include pictures that fall under all three of those categories. I feel like the variety will give it a little more flavor. For my first "love" picture I decided to go with cliché and snap a shot of love in candy form. I'm gonna be honest, I'm not much of a fan of conversation hearts.. a little too chalky for my liking.. but I can't resist collecting a box of them every year when Valentines Day comes around just because they're so festive. Some of the captions really puzzle me because of how utterly cheesy they are but I suppose thats what they're famous for. I've always wondered if anyone has, in all seriousness, slipped their crush a conversation heart that confesses their love for that person. I'm not into cutsey mushy stuff so if that ever happened to me I honestly think I would gag but lets hope its worked out for the best for those who have used conversation hearts for ice breakers.
