Valentines Smalentines....

I wish you all a Very Happy Valentines day! As we all know this day is intended for couples to bask in their love, and to make single people feel really really sorry for themselves. Most interesting to me, is the forms in which we try to show our love.There are the over priced almost dead roses, hallmark cards with sleezy porn inuendos, and my favorite, the singing stuffed animal, that belts out lyrics such as "wild thing" or "only you". I dont mean to be a V-day hater by any means, however my surroundings make it difficult. There is the fact of being single, that never helps. I do think that the holiday is sweet in theory. I like to hand out Valentines to friends and families, bake yummy goodies, or enjoy a nice dinner in or out of the house. I do not like the lady in the grocery store commenting on extensive amounts of chocolate, strawberries, or any other valentine parafinalia. I hate her assumtions of " aww this is sure sweet what you are going to be making and giving to your valentine" in which i have to reply "actually it is all for me as i sit my ass on the couch alone with my animals and have a fat fest". That does shut them up quickly. Dont get me wrong i am not anti holiday, i am anti peoples stupid pitty filled comments, for 1.being single or 2. having not received anything sweet on this day. Please note, that i was in a relationship during this lovely holiday once. I made a nice dinner for the guy, bought a sexy lil number to wear, all beliveing it would be a great evening. however my so called "sexy" number only instigated him to call me a whore. needless to say this holiday has not been easy on me. So i wil leave you with this. I am at home, alone, i did enjoy and nice dinner, alone, and i am eating cookies and truffles that i made, alone. But unlike most people i am ok with this. I would rather be alone, than in a bad relationship faking my way through the day. Rock on single sistas! (And if you are wonering if i have been drinking, the answer is yes...)
