Every year you come. You come under the guise of love, of adoration, of pressure and disappointment. You come on Valentines Day.
On my least favorite of holidays, you arrive with suddenly-five-dollar-greeting-cards, and incomprehensibly-inflated-fifty-dollar-flowers. Your buddies try to teach my wife that I don't love her every other day of the year, my kids that they aren't popular unless their valentines bag runneth over. One guy in Belgium keeps trying to sell me blood diamonds to profess my love. And I've had it.
So this tribute is to you, Conversation Hearts. You sugary and seemingly inconsequential bowl squatter. Your days of jumping onto my waistline as I try to sneak past are nearly through. You and your pals are on extremely shaky ground with guys like me. I am almost ready to cut you back to three bags a week...I could not be more fucking serious.
Finish your business and get the hell out.
Yet Another Jay and Deb Production.

I heart you! Oh, and I love those conversation hearts, too.
Thanks for your comment :)
I love conversation hearts, though, I haven't even seen any for many years and now that I am married Valentine's Day kinda doesn't happen anymore so I probably wont see them ever again!
I would so be in the top five if I could actually SEE the d@mned Mr. Linky to Link up!

I always pulled the lamest hearts. "ubrkmyhart"
"Ihtu"
"urgrss"
It's all about the designer chocolates now.

Really? You like those? I think they are awful! They don't tempt me in the slightest ... probably one of the few things that do!

I only like the orange ones and thats it. The others taste like poo! Yuck.
I don't even really care for those damn conversation hearts but for some reason if they are around I'll eat them...I do the same thing with candy corn which I also dislike.
Sorry Jay, I'll go fix that.......
Alice
I could not agree more. I'd rather have an anal probe than be submitted to Valentine's Day every freaking year.
BTW, those conversation hearts taste like Pepto bismol. GAG
Does anyone really eat those? They are the candy corn of Valentine's Day.
arrghghg, that didn't work ~ I cleared everything from both firefox and internet explorer.
This post has me in stitches. You are so frickin' hilarious.
Evil..D@#$ candy.
I am feelin the love there Jay. BTW..what did you do for your family..LOL!
I wonder if they'd make good sugar cubes for a hot cup of coffee?! Straight sugar they are!!
Think I've had to many because I am rambling..Have a good day..tehe..okay bed!
So the underwear i made for you out of the heart candy you will or won't like? I am confused.
I hate those things! Ick!
LOL ! Sounds like you and my hubby would get along great :)
ps You are so welcome about your button being on my blog. I just love what you are doing and as a personal friend of The Whitt family, I am amazed at the outpouring of love for them and they are humbled.
LOL I am proud to say we do not allow them in our house. Can't stand those things!
The orange ones are the best conversation hearts! The green ones are nasty...
Check out my giveaway when you get a chance!

Way to draw the line there Jay. Show em who's boss.
Duuuuude....did you see the Gobstopper hearts? I just picked up 5 more bags on clearance.
I have a problem.
I hate those pesky converstation hearts. Might have something to do with finding them all over my house. :)
My wife and I were passing candy hearts during a church meeting before we were married— one of them said "Marry Me" how cool was that.
That was frickin awesome!!! I love it!!!
But I actually do think they are gross... very funny!!!
Now I have to figure out what I am going to post about.... :)

Hold that thought - I'm sending you my Oldest's stash from the school party.
I'm tired of the Youngest using them for driveway art projects...
Don't be dissing the conversation hearts. I LOVE them...simply adore these dollar a bag treats. I was bummed to arrive at the store for just ONE more bag and they were sold out. Sigh.
I've never liked the conversation hearts. They are icky
I can not eat those damn things, they remind me of chalk (don't ask).
I avoid those because...wel...umm...I prefer chocolate.
Next is Easter and those yummy cream filled eggs!!!
LOL! For me conversation hearts are like eating little pieces of sugary chalk. Yuck! :)
LMAO! You have candy, I have chocolate.
Fanfrickentabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh, they are a pain, especially when the green and yellow ones are still hanging around 2 weeks later because they are the grossest colors.
LOL .. I love it!
I lost touch with Tuesday's Tribute - just couldn't be creative like you have been!
I bought a butt load of those things this year for my kids class and when I opened them...all fuzzy. Couldn't read a single one. Stupid candy!
I linked this morning and when I returned, it must not have worked so I tried again...we will see.
yay, my linked worked. I'm not a COMPLETE idiot:)
LMAO. I think conversation hearts taste like crap but my husband is a huge fan. I swear the taste like sweet chalk
i've decided that march is my favorite month. no holidays. or can easter sometimes be in march? maybe i should go with june. but that's when the kids get out of school, so that's definitely NOT my favorite.
Conversation hearts don't even make it into my house.
I am such a sucker for those.
Once, in the third grade. This boy I had a major crush on gave me a "be mine" candy heart (probably along with everyone else in the class).
I kept it....for years.
Yes, I am a loser.
That is one thing that doesn't tempt me- I really should buy more of those!!! I wouldn't be staring at these dove chocolates and drooling and knowing I'm going to give in to their smooth rich goodness!
I linked up- better late than never, right?
Ewww...those are like eating chalk with words on it. Yuck.
hope i did it correctly. sorry. great post.
The white ones are my favorite.
OH! How interesting...an ad right below this post on romantic getaways...I wonder...
I'm not a conversation heart person. I mean, they are cute to look at. They make nice decoration. But if I'm going to get sugar in my system it is going to be something GOOD and conversation hearts just don't cut it.
This was perfect. I feel the same way about candy corn.
