In this age of needing a Face lift when you really don’t need one, and dogs being dressed up as babies, I don’t understand what happened to the word Love. At one time it was written as was intended, in a myriad of ways–In fancy font and in block capitals–But now it has been reduced to something so much less meaningful: the xxx is what I’m talking about. There is no doubt in my mind that the xxx has more or less taken over. What must Cupid think!

This is on my mind mainly because it was my birthday the other day, and my boyfriend gave me a really lovely card. It had kittens fighting on the front, and I adored it from the moment I laid eyes on it. And then I opened it and read the message, and I was still smiling–But then I moved my eyes lower and saw it where that word should be–The word. Instead of the L word was xxx! I swear the exclamation mark almost broke my stupid romantic heart–

Then it was just awkward, of course. I didn’t want to talk (I was crying) and my boyfriend, bless him, just wanted to know what was wrong. And I tried I really did. I tried to tell him what was wrong, and it just sounded stupid and girly. But, when I finally did tell him, he smiled at me. The evening turned out fine in the end, and after that he promised he’d try harder.
