Stop! Valen-time…
Another Valentine’s Day has arrived on our doorstep wrapped in red paper and filled with candy hearts. I hope everyone spends the day with those most important to them. I’ll be doing the same, but my Valentine won’t stop playing Madden.
I came upon one of the best Valentine’s cards ever while checking out crowandcanary’s blog. The designer is Rob Ryan of Ryantown in London. I just love all the cut paper! What would we do without exacto knives?
The Saddest Kiss That Ever Was…
Apparently, I have issues with abandoned candy (see Urban Decay.) I warn you, this is strange commentary.
Saturday was a bright, unusually warm day in the Third Ward. We were out shopping, lunching and doing the Saturday thing. While strolling leisurely down the sidewalk, I saw something in the distance. I immediately recognized the golden foil wrapper, the little paper flag and the adorable drop shape of a Hershey kiss on the ground. At first I thought, “What a shame. That chocolate would’ve been delicious.” But on second thought, it struck me as the saddest thing I’d seen all day; one lonely Hershey kiss melting into the winter sidewalk. You might be thinking…c’mon, thats ridiculous. But is it? I think not and here is why:
1. This little bit of heaven is called a KISS. A kiss is the ultimate symbol of love and affection toward another. There is a reason we give these tasty morsels as gifts on Valentine’s Day.
2. The kiss appeared to be purposely placed upright directly below a copper drain. What heartless jerk would abandon a kiss so carelessly? Would they also abandon a puppy?
3. Through harsh Wisconsin weather and the drippy torture of the drain, this little kiss tried his hardest to be strong. His flag stood tall and his wrapper glistened in the light as if calling out to passers-by, “Take me home. Savor me. I’m still just as good as the other kisses.” What a champ.
Alas, I did not take the little guy home (because thats strange) but I did take his photo. I’m declaring him the official Hershey Kiss of Valentine’s Day 2009. Now kiss someone you love and never neglect your chocolate.
