Well, it is my favorite month.... Hmm, could it be simply because February brings Valentine's Day? Yes, it is. As a romance writer, this is the month I shine. All writers of love beam brightly. Love is in the air, even for those who are single. They enjoy curling up on the couch with a good book. I'm so excited that I will be doing a book signing on this day. Greenbrier Mall in Chesapeake slipped me into a slot. ;)
I love shopping for book signing give aways, but during this time of year, I can't go wrong. Everything is covered with hearts and roses.
My hubby and I don't really do anything special for this day. We just enjoy a dinner together and curling up in front of a good movie. The same thing we have done for 10 years, just like the early days when we were pinching pennies. (Hey, we're still pinching them.) I even told him not to worry about a card, because I LOVE the one he gave me last year. I was reading it again today and got choked up. He is a wonderful man.
My eight year old daughter has found love this year. Boy, I would have loved to put that off for another 50 years. Okay, that's really my husbands wish..lol. Mine is until she finishes college. But, as most of you out there who are parents of little girls know that they move much faster now than we did when we were younger. So, with Valentine's Day happening for them at her school she HAD TO get her friend a special card and a small box of chocolates.
Yes, you guessed it, my hubby had a cow, sheep, coyotes, deer and elephant on the spot and I started looking up convents I could have her transferred to. lol!
Then I thought about it. Wait, their "dating" consist of them sitting in a seat across from one another on the bus. Their not in the same class and they only get to talk for three minutes from the school to his bus stop. I could live with that. In a few years, I know I'll be looking at this little relationship wishing her "love life" was still this easy.
Until later,

Still Romancing You.
