What About Love: Let's Celebrate

Next week is Freedom to Marry Week. Who wants to celebrate LOVE?

I hope you will join me in this blog carnival, which we began last year.  The way it works is simple.  Each day next week, post to your blog or facebook page something on these topics, according to the "olde" wedding tradition:

Tuesday, Feb. 10... Something Old

Wednesday, Feb. 11... Something New

Thursday, Feb. 12... Something Borrowed

Friday, Feb. 13... Something Blue

Saturday, Feb. 14... Valentine's Day: Celebrate Love

You can post a photo, a memory, a poem, some music, or a combination.  Try to surprise us.  And once you're done with your post, if you leave a link in the comment section, everyone will be able to check out what you've done.

Feel free to link to The Other Mother, using the "Something" badge.  If you're not a blogger, you can participate by leaving a comment.  I will be posting links to all contributions here.  Just leave the URL as a comment.  You can participate all week or whenever you have the time. I'll start by compiling a list of participants, so let me know if you're "in".

If you want to make your story easy to find, use the keyword  something2009  .

I am a selfish bah-humbug when it comes to Valentine's Day. But since I do like you and your blog...I will do my best. I will have a WHOLE lot of blues for the Something blue day!

Seriously though, cute idea. I was trying to just hide out until this holiday was over too...
