There really is no way to write a post (or more like a criticism) about Valentines Day without coming off like a bitter old maid, albeit that criticism is justified. But here are some thoughts--mostly questions regarding our favorite holiday to hate:
1.) I'm pretty sure men and women when buying their Valentine a gift take into account whether or not the gift can be Instagrammed, Facebooked or Tweeted.
2. ) If you don't thank or wish your Valentine a Happy VD on a social network for your friends to see, does that mean you don't love them?
3.) If you don't get thanked on social network (for all to see) would you be offended?
4.) Why do people complain about not having a valentine? If you are an adult and you do this, slap yourself and stop acting like a 14-year-old.
With that said, here are photos from my Valentines Day week in SoCal where I was traveling for work. I saw friends, had some local craft beer, took a VD selfie, ordered room service and even got a kiss (from a dog). Overall it was a great week.
