PURL THIS

I really don't like Valentine's Day and haven't since my 5th grade teacher decided to make giving valentines a classroom event. I made a lovely box for the whole production and since I was the teachers nerdy pet I, of course, received no valentines. The other nerdy kid in class got one from me since I made one for everyone and thus we became the nerd squad of St. Geek's. Lately #perl has taken to bitter candy hearts by stuffing purl and there's even one site where you can make your own candy hearts if you can't order the bittersweets from despair, Inc.

Last year for TPC Gnat and I were going to have a bunch of fortune cookies made with little perly fortunes in them but the bitter perly hearts have some real potential. It is an art to cram a message into 2 lines and 8 characters and I had a bit too much fun last night playing with the heartmaker.

Today my 'Forgotten English' calendar has the word rotten logging which was "a term used when romantic couples sit on a log by moonlight to court" and is a rather amusing choice of words on this Hallmark Holiday.
