*~~HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!~~*

I started out this morning with great intentions to hit the gym..knowing that the day would be filled with wonderful treats that just needed to be eaten! But something pulled me to the computer to check Craig's List and low and behold there was a yard sale....so since my window of "free" time this morning was an hour I thought I would skip the workout and head for the sale....should have hit the gym!!! Wasn't much there but at least it was a clean sale no garbage but no treasures either.

I figured naked men on Valentines Day was a perfect fit so here is a picture of the men in my life. This was taken a couple years back (not sure if all three of them can still fit in the shower) but I still think it is a sweet picture and worked perfect for this post.

Make sure that you tell those special people how much they mean to you.

Shouldn't every day be Valentines Day? Well maybe we would have to forgo the chocolates although that would make more of us to love!!

Hope everyone enjoyed the special day!
