Because it's Valentine's Day - everyone at work has cupcakes or muffins or donuts or candies on their desk. People are handing out chocolates and cookies and lollipops.
I haven't been tempted. Yet.
But as I walk down the aisle (a hundred times a day) I will be keeping my eyes to the ground and avoiding eye contact with those delicious sweets.
On another note, the only time I started to enjoy Valentine's Day was when I had kids. There were plenty of Valentine's Day where I had a special someone, but I was just never into the whole lovey dovey romantic flowers chocolates that is associated with the day. Maybe because I'm not a very romantic lovey dovey person.
That all changed when I had kids. I can remember my mom always setting our breakfast table with chocolates and a book (or Archie comic!), or some little present/token for the day. It's what I grew up knowing, so last night (after getting home from dinner with the girls - where I had dinner out and still came in under calories, go me!) I hung hearts, I set up a placemat with heart shaped plates, napkins and cups. I put out chocolates, a little something for each of them, a card and went to bed, excited for their little faces this morning. And they did not disappoint. Beckett thinks there is a Valentine's Day fairy who is pink white and red who came to visit, and I didn't correct him.
