Okay, fess up. How many of you are giving yourself your own valentines?

This game is rigged!

On edit: I swear I didn't just give myself a valentine. Thanks to the Good Samaritan for his or her kindness.

So I'll give what I buy away, because my mother always said it's better to give then receive. I've asked for years to do this with Shamrocks also....you know for St. Patrick's Day?? I think Shamrocks all over the place would be wonderful.

but I've never given one to myself. Eventually I get a few, and it's always a nice surprise when it happens. It's great fun to give them out especially to others who don't have any yet.
