Bedroom Forts

Bedroom fort building - complete with marshmallows, chocolate, stars, and a romantic atmosphere.
Valentines’ day can be the worst day for single folk. Being one myself, I decided there really is no reason to be depressed about a day of love however attuned the day is to couples. Throughout the day I tried to share my love and appreciation for my friends and family, including sending them cards with heartfelt messages and mischievous winky-faces. I planned to surprise my closest friends with a bedroom fort to watch what we have come to call “Crappy TV Tuesday,” consisting of two particular shows from ABC family that keep us just barely entertained. 
No one really wanted to come to Crappy TV Tuesday in trying to avoid the stereotypical single-girl Valentines’ day night. I hadn’t told anyone that I had a surprise for them, assuming that eventually they would find out about the fort and come. The fort turned out beautifully; I used two sheets, a few blankets, and several pins to hold it all together. The previously applied glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling added to the ambiance of a natural campfire tent. I set out marshmallows, chocolate, and blankets to make everyone comfortable. The night was a success!
