Cards, I want cards!

I know I may be old fashioned but my birthday is coming up and despite the fact that I am also guilty of not sending them to others, I want cards!


It is perfectly ok to just get a Facebook Happy Birthday from casual friends but when it comes to family I really think a nice heartfelt card is better. I know they cost a lot and I am not too awfully picky about where they come from - Dollar Tree sells them 2 for a buck - or if they are homemade, even, but it is nice to look in the mail and open up a card with someone's thoughts about you and how much they love you and are glad you were born.


Same goes for Valentine's Day. I want a paper card, maybe with those lace doilies glued to the front, yea that really floats my boat.
Now chocolates or gifts are just fine too, don't get me wrong. But a ten second Happy Valentine's on Facebook with no thought or effort put into it just is not!


And like I said, I am also guilty of not sending cards, so I will try my hardest to right this wrong on my end starting now. Better buy some Hallmark stock, sistas cuz I will be paper greeting you guys up one side and down the other.
