SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY

Its here. Again!!!!!!! Ah the butterPhotobucketflies in my stomach are doing somersaults, waiting in anticipation. What will he get me this time? Flowers, a card, jewelery, maybe a gratuitous weekend away in the country, a holiday cruise maybe? Luck would be a fine thing.

Forgot to mention i would need someone of the male persuasion for any of these to be a possibility. Preferably Colin Farrell. I am allowed to daydream aren't i? I would have said George Clooney/Brad Pitt, but personally i think they're both overrated.

Why do we need a day set aside so that someone can declare their undying love for me, to tell me that life is not worth living without me, i am their reason for being, their everything. This declarations would probably have me rolling on the floor laughing uncontrollably. What a load of tosh.

If you care that much you should know its the little, everyday things that count. Like taking out the rubbish when its pissing down, waking me up on Sunday morning with the sweet aroma of breakfast, letting me be when i'm premenstrual. When i say i have a headache, just choose to believe me once in a while and make a fuss over me. Yes! Then i'll know you love me, i am your reason for being and don't worry darling i will definitely return the favour.

Ok now we can get back down to planet earth. More often than not, this will only happen in the lead upto/on valentine's day or your birthday or said culprit has been caught up in an indiscretion of gigantic proportions and is trying to make up for it (read tongue in cheek).

So this valentine's me, myself and i are going for retail therapy and celebrate single life. You know what i mean, we can go out all night and drink until the cows come. Not because we have to, but rather because we can. We won't have to take anyone into consideration, we don't have to stress about what present to get or whether its good enough. Whatever present i get myself will be the best i can cos, who knows me better than myself really?

So single peeps out there go out and celebrate your love for yourself.

This captures my wossssaaaaaaaa resolutions so well!!!!

self love here we come...I think its a bit over-rated to be honest..one year my ex made such a fuss about it..(as in he wanted the whole hullabaloo) and I couldn't be bothered..not in a bad way..lakini I like flowers on ANY day..not just Vals...

retail therapy works wonders:)..here I salute you!!! Just go overboard and end up in shock:)

kwanza that thing of having a headache...and being left alone while PMSing..preach sister!!!

Colin Farrel? Give me George Clooney anytime lady! That man is MAN! He's hot. I love him! Ahem... back to reality - yeah, self love is important. If one can't or doesn't love oneself, then no one will. Still, St Val's day is definitely overrated and over commercialised, that's why me amd my mister will be doing it (as we've always done) in a very understated manner. See, he already takes out trash and stays out of my way whilst I'm PMTing ;-).

Get this ... some brilliant individual on the local school board scheduled parent/teacher conferences for this evening. This means I will have to spend several hours with my EX-HUSBAND today ... on this stupid bloody Valentine's Day!

So the day has come and gone. I was on deaths door so was under the duvet with my remote. Hence no self love aka retail therapy, but not so bad cos i got to feel sorry for myself an not feel guilty about it.
@ beth what can i say, my 1st reaction was a giggle, but i sooo feel you.
