Galentine's Day

I know this a little late in coming, but a trip to NYC and now a cold have kept its publication in the wings. So, now, I am pleased to present a post about Galentine's Day:

For those of you who are not Parks and Recreation viewers, Galentine's Day is best explained by the illustrious Leslie Knope:  "Galentine's Day is a banquet to celebrate my ladyfriends, independent of any relationships they may or may not be in. It's a fun self-esteem builder for you and your ladyfriends." This marvelous celebration occurs on February 13, and it really should be a national holiday. As soon as I saw the episode about Galentine's Day last year, I began planning my Galentine's Day party. I was thrilled when I got a great response from my friends, and I hosted a dinner party on February 13. We ate waffles, played mad libs, told stories, and celebrated one another. It was a wonderful self-esteem boost, and I am so thrilled it was a success. I plan on making it a tradition.

Good thing we don't take ourselves too seriously!

Thank you to everyone who came to Galetine's Day! It was wonderful to celebrate our friendships together. I encourage my followers to start their own Galentine's Day tradition. Follow this link- Galentine's Day Planning Tips- to get great tips from Leslie Knope herself. It could end up being a yearly tradition for you, too. And that is the musing of a marvelous me! :)
