Oh wow, Valentine's Day is near! It sort of crept up on us this year. Confession: I have to admit I don't go nuts over this holiday. Sure, it's a time to celebrate love, which: yay!
Also yay: Jane Austen's romantic words, which inspired this print:
This and other romantic prints can be found in my store and (right now, but not forever) as a digital download on Etsy.
But not yay (for me, at least): trying to go out to dinner on the same night everyone else is going out to dinner, and restaurants who have "special" Valentine's Day menus which usually are just not as good as their normal menus, but they're overwhelmed by the masses of lovey-dovey diners, so what can you do?
Well, you can stay in - that's what Mr. Yay and I do :) We will probably order Thai food from our favorite place, crack a bottle of wine, and watch our current Netflix show (Breaking Bad. I know, we're behind the times!)
This Valentine's Day activity also happens to be something we do every week. It's our favorite date, relaxing in the comfort of our own home, laughing and snuggling together over great food and great tv. We'll save the fancy duds and night out on the town for next week!
What are you up to for the most romantic day of February? Braving the other lovebirds at a restaurant? Exchanging gifts? Writing love letters?
It's all good. But I recommend the Thai food!
