As I'm sure you have all noticed, today is Valentine's Day. For my family this day usually means a few cards are given, and some candy may change hands, but mostly it is day like all others. The one tradition (I'm sure many of you share) my family has is that my sister and I are always given a box of Sweethearts. These small heart shaped candies have always reminded me of eating TUMS mostly because of the chalky feeling that is left in your mouth. However, I do like the flavor of the white, orange, and green Sweethearts (mmm, mint) so the box is not entirely wasted in actually eating value. But the best part of Sweethearts is that they all have things writen (some times readable and others not so much) on them. So for your enjoyment (and in case you didn't get your own box this year) I have emptied my box out on my desk and will relate the more, shall we say interesting hearts to you.
(Warning! for those of you that have difficulties handling fragments of sentences this post is not for you, as after reading most hearts you come awaying thinking, please let there be a direct object/verb/subject in my future)
So in a list format, here is my box of Sweethearts:
Sure Love
Miss you
Sweet Talk
My Girl
My Man
Be True
Love Him
Love Bird
So fine
I hope
Heart of Gold (except the word heart is actually just a little heart shape, how cute)
Call me
Cutie Pie
One I love
Hi Love
Nice Girl
My Baby
Angel
(and the old standard )
Be Mine
But here are some hearts that I just don't understand their Valentine's Day significance (or maybe I am just out of the cultural loop)
URA Tiger
I'm sure
Call home (this sounds a little like E.T. )
Be Good
To
And
Fax Me (I ask you, have you ever sent a fax to that special someone?)
Cheers!

Amendment 5: Does anyone taste chalk right now?
