Today felt right. I did good things for myself. I found a creative solution for a family conflict. I was supportive and did not show my frustration when my kid needed support and an absence of frustration. I was lucky enough to have (probably) the only non-nerdy “genius” to teach my One-to-One session at the Apple Store. That kind of felt right day.
As much as I love many things and people today, I’ve chosen a romantic tune, meaning I’m weighing heavily on the side of eros, as opposed to philia or agape. You know my friend, Anastasia mou, taught me a little bit of Greek in high school and I remember those words…or maybe I learned them in Philosophy class. My first boyfriend was Greek and his name was Theophilos. I’m not making that up either.
This is the first time I’ve posted a gif. It’s obnoxious, isn’t it? That’s why I made it small. I don’t like flashy things like this, but you know I like hearts. How do these things even work? Does it take more fossil fuel to power it? Is it therefore secretly evil? What happens to it when no one is looking?
I looked up last year’s Valentine’s Day Music Monday and the song was even more romantic than the following song. Romantic to the power of Nina Simone and smokin’ hot. But I realize that last year Hubby was on a business trip in Germany, so that wasn’t so romantic because I did not accompany him.
This one’s not as hot, but it is sweet and I’ve always loved it.
Enjoy and may your Valentine’s Day be red and pink and sweet and hot and chocolate-y and full of love, any and all kinds of love to your heart’s content!
SWAK, twinkly
There’s a really nice live version, but the audience is too audible, so I’ll leave it to you to find and watch
“My first boyfriend was Greek and his name was Theophilos.”
I love that.
As for the gifs, agreed. I’m terrified of the things. But a flashing heart on Valentine’s day can’t be all bad. Lots of love to you and yours today and every day twinks!
I cannot help myself.
I saw the dancing Devil gif in my email, but it is not here. How and why? At least I got to see it…gracie, bella!
I can click the link. See? It’s GIFs really are evil.
Oh, the Devil bewitched me into thinking I couldn’t go it. Get back, Devil and fuck off, too.
