Valentine's Day Eve: Galentine's Day

Valentine’s Day. Saturday. Break your bank day. Satan’s day of reigning. Whatever you want to call it. What are your plans?

Just kidding, no one cares. What you should care about, gals, is Feb. 13, a.k.a. Galentine’s Day. This is a holiday founded by "Parks & Recreation" character Leslie Knope in honor of lady friends. This is important.

According to the show, the holiday is spent with all of your closest lady friends, regardless of whether they are celebrating with the loves of their lives or mourning over a past/nonexistent relationship on Valentine’s Day. On Galentine’s Day, the only soulmates you need are the women in your presence. A day spent giving handmade gifts to show your affection, brunch, and women power. A lot of women power.

Celebrate with whichever festivities and in whatever attire you wish… possibly wear all black to go against the grain of bright reds and pinks. The main purpose of this event is to appreciate the friendships, independence and empowerment of women all over the world. What’s missing? Music. While you’re stuffing your face with copious waffles or getting ready to take on O Street make sure to accompany your night with the perfect Galentine’s Day playlist:

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
