Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Luckily I’ve been spending a lot of time working from my hotel room in North Carolina and haven’t had to deal too much with all the red chocolate filled hearts and sappy, romantic commercials. Do I sound like the Grinch? Sorry, but being single on a holiday specifically focused on couples sucks.
I’m not going to go on a rampage about how it’s all commercialized and stupid. Nope, because I’ll be honest, if I were coupled up I’d be all excited about it too. How can you not be? A day set aside for lovers. My problem is I see these commercials and I want to be able to do something special for a special someone. I want to be wondering if I’m going to get some pretty bauble from my lover. But alas, yet again this year it’s not to be. No candlelight dinner and wine. No sexy lingerie and chocolate dipped strawberries. No night of lust and lovemaking…
So yes, I’m the Grinch of Valentine’s Day. Maybe next year I’ll have met someone who transforms me, but for now… Valentine’s Day sucks! I’m glad I’m spending most of the driving back to Richmond.
**On a happier note, I just may have found a new home. One more place to look at this evening, but the apartment I looked at this morning was very, very promising. I’ll keep you posted, but it looks as if this chick could be living in NC again by April!**
Happy Valentine’s Day sweetie. Big hugs ((((hugs))))
Belated V-Day Hugs from me as well…
I have nothing really to celebrate myself… Going down to the courthouse today to get the divorce “do-it-yourself” kit.
