It's Almost Valentine's Day's.... Don't Forget !
(Edited)
Valentine's Day will soon be here, February 14th in the US. Just as I was typing that I wondered if it was celebrated anywhere else.
Recently I was in Walgreens for more important things, but I simple had to walk down the Valentine's candy isle. It seems every candy company puts out something sweet for the holiday, even if it is only their normal candies wrapped in Valentine colors with Valentine motifs. Just one more reason/excuse for us to buy some more sugary delights. (as if some of us needed any excuse at all) 😄
I suppose the classic Valentine candy will always be chocolates. As you can see, there is a heart shaped box of it for every kind of sweetie. Your sweetie is a Star Wars freak ?? Yep ! Even some for that !
Even for sour patch sort of folks. LOL !.... and everything in-between.
What? What? Easter too !!??
YEP !... that's right, you heard/saw everyone talking about Valentine's things being out before Christmas ? Well..... it seems that will be the trend with holiday items now.
If you're not into Valentine's, you can always skip it and go straight to the Easter sweets. I have to say, these are pretty good. Malted Milk Chocolate eggs with a crunchy candy shell. I didn't buy any.... this time.
So now that I've reminded you that Valentine's is on it's way, I don't want you to pretend to your sweetie that you forgot it was coming up. LOL !
It's phonehell week on my job this week, so for my mental sanity, I took Wednesday off.... again. I DO have a thing about Wednesdays, don't I ? What a great way to break up a week, especially one that is expected to be extra stressful.
Hope you are all having a very good day... or night, depending in where you are.
Love you ! Mean it !

I hope I dont get distracted by the Easter eggery when I go Valentine shopping. It is easily done and I just noticed today that the eggs are out!
Easter eggery..... that sounds funny and it made me laugh.
Heaven forbid you get distracted and buy the Good Lady eggs for Valentines. LOL
That should like a fantastic idea!! Two birds with one stone if I manage to find a free flower or two along the way! 😃
Too bad Valentine's is not in spring, so you could pick some flowers out of someone else's yard while they weren't home. 😄 Maybe you could save that idea for Easter !
The wonky weather has caused all our bulbs to sprout!! But not quite enough yet. I shall bite the bullet and do the right thing 😃😃
Doing the right thing usually turns out for the best in the end I suppose.
I know, it isnt very evil though and without a bit of evil life just isn't fun!
I know that's right !
That was a very humorous, kind, and nice post! I really like the photographs you shared and the truly funny (but also real) overall message of your post! All the best, take care, much health, all the best, take care and stay safe during this winter! Last but not least, keep on taking care of your mental sanity too during those Wednesdays, you deserve it! Namaste! 😊 🙏
Thanks you for stopping by and commenting !
As I get older, keeping an unstressful balance is a little bit harder, so I have to try a little harder to keep it. 🙂 When I was younger, nothing much bothered me. I either addressed whatever it was or let it go really fast. I am learning to go with the flow, whatever it may be.
Great way to go, may you find balance as you wish and enjoy life by going with the flow. I learned this, experienced this, and still experience and put this to practice well into my mid 20s. I am barely 24, so I am still scratching the surface at this point myself, but I am doing well and I am constantly putting aside more and more stress away from my life. All the best, much health, and have a great evening! 😊
P.S.: Music really helps, especially Weather Report and Frank Zappa, among many others that is! I have a feeling you might enjoy them too! 😊
Oh my goodness!
Chocolates!!!
Just looking at them makes me gain... calories!!!
Yeah, I am a Valentine and Easter girl!!!

Use the !LOL or !LOLZ command to share a joke and an $LOLZ. (1/4)
I wish I was only interested in looking !! LOL
I had some favorites in Easter candy way back, but the companies have changed them through the years and they don't taste the same, so I no longer like most of them. I can always eat a Cadbury Egg, but those are about half the size they use to be. (so you have to eat two !)... .ha ha
Is that Grogu from Star Wars in chocolate form? That must be out of this world 😀
I love your fisheye shot with all the candies. I had no idea sour patch kids and Reese's got into this. I see Pot of Gold, a true classic.
Easter appears to be coming early, who can deny Lindt chocolate? That's one of my favorites.
I always loved the cinnamon heart candies. I'd grab a handful and gobble them up, my breath thanked me too as everyone could tell I was eating them when I started to talk.
Thanks for the trip down the aisle, grocery aisle that is. This is a candy and chocolate lovers paradise.
Yes !! That's Grogu. You know those will sell like hot cakes just from that photo being on the front.
My camera program made the fisheye shot and then asked me if I wanted it. I had taken multiple photos and it put some of them together and then beeped me and said "Looky what I made for you. Do you want to keep it?" ...and of course I did ! It does stuff like that all the time, although sometimes I don't like what it comes up with. LOL.....and so I delete it.
I don't know who can deny Lindt. I didn't buy any that day, but after seeing the photo over and over, I am thinking I need to buy my Mother a few things soon for Easter treats before it gets all bought up ! Of course, while I am buying her something, I'm sure something will go in the basket for myself, because I am spoiled like that !
Cinnamon candies are one of my very favorites. CVS drug store use to put out the cinnamon imperials under their own brand name for as long as I can remember, but the last few years, they stopped ! I don't know why. They always sold all they put out. Brach does Cinnamon Imperials too, but you rarely see them. A few years I found them at Walmart in the Christmas baking kiosk in the middle of the isle. They are good, like the CVS was. Who knows, it may be the same ones !
You mean the sugar-holic's paradise.....LOL
I never knew the brand names of the cinnamon hearts, we would have a whole bunch of bins with different candies and scoop them into a plastic bag. You learn real fast how to calculate weight into dollars as a kid when you reach the counter and your eyes are bigger than your wallet.
The literal definition of a kid in a candy shop.
Haha sometimes I think these things are sentient and will give me a zap if I don't like their suggestions
Those "help yourself" places have crazy high prices now it seems. You half a servicing in a bag and it's $5 ! ha ha or that is how it seems.
Mine hasn't snubbed me yet for the deletes. It just keeps passing new ones over.
I think I hear some peanut butter eggs calling my name right now!
Oh yes ! that sounds good to me right now !
Yes! Valentine’s Day stuff are all around now. It’s interesting to see “usual snacks” suddenly all dressed up and full of love. Lol!!
Nobody wants to be left out !
Not at all. Everyone has to keep up. 😃
