Feburary Moods

You know the feeling you get after Thanksgiving to burst out in Christmas carols? ...it can't just be me...
 Or the feeling you get when school's out? Well every now and then I have the inclination to get all festive for he holidays no matter what holiday it is.

 St. Patrick's Day? Halloween? CHRISTMAS? Birthdays? (they count) President's Day? I love it all! You name a happy occasion, and I want to celebrate it.

Recently, I've come down with the Valentine-Fever. I just love, LOVE! Ya know?! And before you get all crazy, I am AWARE that my love life is non-existent. But that doesn't mean I can't celebrate love! AH! It's just so great!

So today while I was studying, like a good little girl, I realize that all of these love songs are coming up on my Pandora playlists. " What the-" It's always the music.

And then I started to like it. Correction: LOVE.IT.
So I go on Etsy to see if I can maybe buy a Banner or two and throw together a Valentine Party. "Crap. It's THIS Friday. "
So I scratch that Idea and settle for what I typically settle for: a baking party for 1! ( no one else likes to participate )

Baking is typically my way to procrastinate doing anything REALY important. Anyways... I blast my music and get started. I settle for simple shortbread cookies since baking a valentines 3 tier cake wasn't going to happen without my pans and food coloring. #collegeprobs

 

As I was making the cookies, I went online #multitasking . It never ceases to amaze me how many people HATE valentines day! I mean, I know I'm single. And I know that I will remain single through these next couple of valentines days(mission)....But do I care? Well.. I may care a little after reading all these sad posts. Man... but as I decorated my cookies, multiple thoughts popped into my head:

1. Cookies are really great.
2. If I had a bf, he would just EAT MY COOKIES
3. I don't want them to eat my cookies
4. Boys should make ME cookies
5. Valentines day is about love. And I love SO many things. A boyfriend just isn't one of those things right now.
6. I am a strong and independent woman. I don't need a man to "complete" me. (movie reference? Anyone?)



 

in honor of L.O.V.E.

Then I finished my cookies. And the pictures are fuzzy.

 yeah. my camera is broken. sorry.

 
PEOPLE. PEOPLE!!!

People need to stop the HATE and learn to APPRECIATE.
or they will start to CONTEMPLATE why... No one likes them?? (I ran out of rhymes. Sorry Raven!)
 seriously. No one likes a hater. Except for trolls but we won't get into that...

I know, this post may have been hard for some to read. But hey, grab a movie or get on Netflix. Put on your sweats, grab that food... and just RELAX. It's a Friday night! I would say go out with your friends, but .. ya know.. I'm at BYU. Ya'll are engaged sooo... I guess I'll go drown my sorrows in ice cream...

JOKE. I'm lactose- intolerant. :P

but seriously.. ENJOY BEING IN LOVE. It's not that hard to be happy for people. Just CHOOSE to do it.

P.S. incase you care, I posted a more detailed description about the cookies under the "Dat's Domestic" tab.
