Will you be my valentine?

There’s many things that can be said about Valentine’s Day. Predictable. American. Commercial. At least one day you’re sure to get flowers. Or chocolates. A day of mourning if you don’t have a significant other? A great day for florists and jewellery stores!

We’ve never really celebrated Valentine’s Day. I tend to be one of those girls that says I’d rather get flowers on a random day as opposed to one day in the year that Hubby is supposed to give them to me.

For other’s I guess it’s a great excuse to make the effort to go out, give pressies and celebrate the day.

Over the years I feel that Valentine’s Day has lost its appeal. No more school girl singledom, waiting to see if you have a secret admirer. No more wondering if the boyfriend will surprise you with something special!

Do you think Vaentine’s Day changes as you get older? Or do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? If so, what are your plans for this year?!

Fun Friday: Warning: you’ll get the giggles!

Happy Friday!!

Glenn McGrath finds new love

Today SMH has reported:

Former Test paceman Glenn McGrath – whose wife Jane died of cancer in 2008 – has been seen with his new girlfriend, Sara Leonardi, 28.

As next Monday’s Woman’s Day reveals, the pair spent Tuesday night at a Sydney restaurant.

The magazine, which has secured a photo spread of the couple, reports she is a beautiful brunette and that McGrath’s friends are delighted he has again found happiness. (Image Source).

I watched some reactions to this on TV this morning, and of course there were differing of opinions. One person was very honest saying at first they were a little shocked as it seemed quite soon, but then they realised who the hell are they to judge.

Others were worried about his children to which someone replied, the best person who knows what’s best for his kids, is Glenn himself, and I can’t imagine he’d introduce just anyone to his kids.

I’m sure it’s hard enough for people to lose a spouse, let alone having to do it in the very public eye. I actually think the news is great and wonderful that Glenn and his kids now seem to be in a happy place where they can invite someone else into their lives.

What do you think?
