Its that one day out of the year that everyone is supposed to be romantic. I know when I was single, I used to hate Valentine's Day. My only other single girlfriend and I would call it Singles Awareness Day, because on that day you are aware that you are single. We would make a fun dinner and eat as much chocolate as we could shove in our fat faces.
Even though its supposed to be one of the most romantic days of the year, it doesn't always turn out that way. Many people think that their un-romantic partner, spouse, etc. will suddenly be all hearts and flowers. Many people end up disappointed.
The best way to deal with Valentine's/Single's Awareness Day is to be your own Valentine! Buy yourself some flowers or candy. Pick up that cupcake you shouldn't have because you are are on your diet. Get a mini spa treatment. You are going to be your best Valentine. Its a day to indulge on yourself. You don't need to wait for someone else to do it for you. Sometimes if we wait, it will never happen, even if we give big fat hints!
Have a wonderful Single's/Valentine's Day! Give yourself permission to do something special for you.
How are you spending the day today?
Before I was married I used to make Valentines day a day just for me, I would take a long bath with a good book, paint my nails, pick up flowers and eat something I really liked. After all, the holiday is based around a Saint who was, tortured, beheaded, then had his head stuck on a stake, which sounds a lot like some of the weeks I used to have at work, and who wouldn't need a little pampering and me time after that! ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! I love it. When I was single, I would just skulk around and feel sorry for myself. Not very inspiring at all. :)
DeleteI would shove as much chocolate in my face as I could and whine to my ONE other single girlfriend.
DeleteThe best way to celebrate Valentines day is to wait until Feb 15th and buy all the rduced chocolate to scoff yourself! That way, you get exactly what you want and you get it cheaper :D
ReplyDeleteBest. Tip. Ever. I'm totally going to do this tomorrow.
DeleteOh, that is a perfect idea.
DeleteHeck yes! I've spoiled myself by skipping my workout, eating 3 pieces of chocolate, and going to burgers with a single gal pal tonight. It's just another day! :)
ReplyDeleteYep, just another day. We always make such a big deal about it...but it would be a bigger deal to me if they made it a national holiday and gave me the day off work. :)
DeleteGood Girl!!
