i.hate.valentines.day

This is not news to anyone that knows me.

When you read this, I will be sitting at work, wearing black.

I always wear black on Valentines day. Its my own way of protesting.

I wouldn't let Apes decorate our office in hearts, ect for V-day, even though people kept suggesting it. Everytime someone would suggest it I would sternly inform them that we do NOT celebrate Valentines Day in this office, and glared at them. Finally it got to the point where they would say it and Apes would jump in and tell them no before I could start on my rant. So I just sat there glaring instead. Yes, The Cherrybear is not too cheery around Valentines Day.

You might be thinking to yourself, Cherrybear, Your name means LOVE! Why do you hate on the Valentines Day?

Well I will tell you.

For one thing, something always bad happens to me on Valentines Day. Every year without fail!

But other than that, I hate Valentines day because I feel like its a made up holiday to get more money out of consumers, to make singles feel like losers if they don't have a date, and I think too much judgement and pressure is put upon what your significant other does for you.

Why does one day a year dictate how much someone loves you? To me Love is a VERB and its something that should be done every day of the year, not just every Feb. I think thats my biggest problem. You base everything on one day and hello Its ONE DAY!! Of a lifetime! Its stupid! To say that someone loves you an amount for what kind of flowers they get you or how fancy the dinner is they take you to.

Personally I don't like red roses. Give me tulips anyday!

And I don't like fancy resturants. They make me nervous!

I'd rather have someone with me through the good and the bad, that sees you when you're sick and pukey and loves you anyway. Someone that shows up 365 days of the year. And not just on Feb 14'th.

I think the world would be a better place if Valentines day was wiped off the calender. At least I wouldn't be cranky every year in the middle of Feb.

Now Valentines day clearance candy.. well that's another story.... ;)

January Recap

Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window. BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it. I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea

It's me, Charity
