Happy Valentine's Day!

So...I know I'm an incredibly inconsistent blogger.

But I'm just feeling the love in the universe today.

I also just saw Final Destination 3...and while I am not planning to ride any roller coasters in the near future (or ever again!)...I am now afraid of random, freakish and incredibly gory chain-of-event deaths...so, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you what could, in fact, be my final message of pure love and happiness.

Today I feel blessed to have so many incredible people and experiences in my life. My heart is a-burstin'...and not in a Final Destination-sorta way.

But with bursting, one does think of many things.

And they all seem to be red.

So...for Valentine's Day 2006...

A list of THINGS THAT ARE RED

Red Peppers

A red M&M

Clifford, the Big Red Dog!

A heart.
