Hello, everyone~!
As you may know already from the title, it's Valentine's day! I planned to talk about it on my page on a social net-woking website called "mixi", but the day is actually over in here due to the difference of time. However, I found that I still have a chance to do so on my blog!
The day of Valentine reminds me of the memories in my high school. I used to make some sweets by myself for friends of mine in my class, and so did friends of mine. It sounds a bit strange because girls exchange sweets they made each other!(The concept of Valentine's day comes from Western, and it became popular in Japan because the Japanese chocolate company introduced it as a day for lovers. Traditionally, giving chocolate to men from women is common.) I remember being excited about the coming of the day because each of the sweet was so delicious, and it was a nice opportunity to find that my friends were really good at cooking! Hahaha...
After graduating from the school, that ritual no longer takes place since each of my friends from high school has gone to different schools. So now I've just recalled it as this time of year came along. Honestly, I miss it soooo much!
This year, I'm not in the mood to take part in series of the things happen on the day, because I don't have girls to share sweets with anymore. Moreover, I don't feel like watching the day be commercialized too much by becoming a part of it.
Anyway, I hope all of you have a happy Valentine's day!

Happy Valentine's Day to you, too, Hiromi. I am sorry you didn't exchange Valentine's sweets with anyone this year. My husband gave me a bag of dark chocolate Cadbury truffles. In the US, it's usually the men who give chocolates to the women!
You already know that we had the day off due to the ice storm we had--it was fun!
