I hope that whether you’re single, in a relationship, or some weird and ambiguous third option that you have a happy and chocolate-filled Valentine’s Day weekend!
This week’s quote comes from food photographer Karl Petzke and sums up how I’m feeling today.
“Chocolate symbolizes, as does no other food, luxury, comfort, sensuality, gratification, and love.”
–Karl Petzke
Great. Now I’m craving chocolate AND champagne.
Every year on Valentine’s day, Mellow Mushroom in downtown Charleston hosts an fcupid party for singles or “those awesome couples who would rather party down than dine in an over-priced and stuffy restaurant.” I went my senior year with Ross and Lily and basically just ate pizza and talked about how Valentine’s day is stupid. This year, however, they incorporated the Walking Dead and held a contest via Twitter and Instagram to use the Dead Yourself app and #fcupid13 for a chance to win a bar tab. Which I won, because I’m awesome.
I make a pretty hot Zombie
When Laura and I got to the party, the whole upstairs area was transformed into this zombie party complete with ice luge, zombie piñata (which looked way too much like a clown for my comfort), fake bugs everywhere (which I didn’t realize were fake at first and scared the crap out of me), a live funk-rock-hip-hop band, a zombie face painter, and pictures of people who Deaded Themselves on Twitter and Instagram all over the walls. It felt like I was at a haunted Halloween party, which was great.

Even though we left before the piñata because A. it was late and we have to be up early to work for The Man and B. we forgot there was a piñata–it was still really fun and I’ll definitely be going next year! Check out the album for more pictures!
Happy Valentine’s Day everybody! I’m traditionally not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day, but I AM a huge fan of Valentine’s Day candy and chocolate. So, whether you’re in a relationship or single, I hope you all enjoy the sweets and spoils this weird, Hallmark holiday!
Yes. This.

Greetings love birds, and single minglers alike. It is Valentine’s Day again, the holiday everyone loves to hate. I think I’m dating the only boy in the history of existence who actually enjoys Valentine’s Day. I wish I could get as pumped up about it as he is. Old habits die hard, I suppose (I am the girl who spent Valentine’s Day 2010 making a Red Velvet cake in the shape of a heart, iced with black frosting, so the black heart would look like it was bleeding when we cut slices of it to eat. I am not a V-Day kind of girl). So instead of posting a quote from Liz Lemon about today being Anna Howard Shaw day, I’m going to at least try and make the most of it by highlighting the only part of Valentine’s Day I ever actually enjoy–the food.
All you really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.

You can really learn a lot from Peanuts.
