Happy Valentine's Day!

I know I talk a lot on my blog about getting married and being madly in love with my fiance', but I'd like you all to know that I spent MANY years alone or in cruddy/lack-luster relationships. My love dues were paid! This is why I feel so lucky and happy to have someone as sweet as John as my husband to be.

Anyway, several years ago someone gave me this book...

It's called "To Hell with Love: Poems to Mend a Broken Heart". In it features what I believe to be one of the greatest anti-love poems ever. Check it out below.

SOMEWHERE A SEED

Somewhere a seed falls to the ground That will become a tree That will some day be felled From which thin shafts will be extracted To be made into arrows To be fitted with warheads One of which, some day when you least expect it, While a winter sun is shining On a river of ice And you feel farthest from self-pity, Will pierce your shit-filled heart.

-Michael Fried

Every time I read it I laugh! Hope you do too :)
