Happy Galentine's Day!

Don't know what Galentine's day is? Well, it's today.

More specifically, it's the day before Valentine's day*, February 13th, a day for women to get together and celebrate their friendship. This invented holiday, is brought to us by the beautiful unicorn that is Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) in Parks and Recreation.

And so post work, I am spending my Galentine's day (and Valentines) by watching Season Six of Parks and Recreation and using it as an excuse to encourage everyone to watch one of my favourite bits of telly**. If only there were waffles...

Happy Galentine's Day, go find waffles!

*I'm not big on Valentines. Having never actually had one. Which also leads to a stereotypical dislike of the commercialism which surrounds the whole affair and irritation by the googly eye stuff. In other words, thinly veiled jealousy for the kind of love people around me are lucky enough to have. However, I like the idea of Galentine's if only to use as an excuse to seeing your friends... which I don't. I kinda suck. Where's my god damn waffle!

** Don't judge it by the first series, stick with it and you'll fall for the ridiculousness of it all.
