C'est l'amour... a few of my favorite things...



Valentines Day came and went.
The hocolates have been eaten, wine has been drank, and the flowers have been sniffed. The majority of my day consisted of working.  However, since Valentines Day was on a Tuesday this year,  it was ok to eat chocolate and tacos -yeah!  (Get it because Tuesday is taco Tuesday- haha.)
 Instead of one of those what to do on Valentines Day, or how to survive  Valentines Day if you're single, I give you a few of my favorite things.
