Taking Back Wednesday!


Recommended Posts

I am taking over Valentine's day this year, to spend with the person who has shown me the most love this year...... ME!

 

I'm going to come home from work wednesday, and hit the gym, work out with my favorite tunes, then hit the sauna, where I can get all hot and sweaty by myself :p Then I'm going to come home, cook myself a fabulous dinner, I'm going to make whatever I want to eat with a rediculous amount of garlic and onions, not worrying about my stank breath. :lmao: I'll crack a bottle of wine, and endulge in a fabulously high calorie and delicious desert. I'll clear the table, but leave the dishes in the sink to do another day. I'll finish the evening with a hot bubble bath, my most comfy, yet ratty PJ's, and curl up under the covers with a good book until I drift off to sleep.

 

I will not stress out about getting the perfect gift for some dirtbag guy and worry about what he got for me, did I spend enough, too much... what does the gift say...

 

I will not open up some cheesy Hallmark card with some generic, manufactured words, and pretend that it was so heartwarming, only to have it taking up space on my mantlepiece for the guilt of simply tossing it away. I will not question the appropriate time to hold onto such a useless waste of paper, until it meets it's ultimate resting place in some landfill, or if it's lucky it's reincarnation into toilet paper, where it will serve a much higher purpose.

 

I will not put on make up, or nice clothes, I will be comfortable. I will not worry about whether I'm good enough, or whether the conversation is going well. I will not try to be funny to make someone else laugh, or pretend to be amused at someone else's lame jokes. I will pass gas at the dinner table, if the need arises.

 

I will turn the ringer off on my phone, so I don't have to listen to my mother's condesending voice, telling me I should be out with a nice boy, or the pity calls from friends giving me the pep talk about how I will meet the right guy one day, and good things come to those who wait.

 

I challenge anyone in a relationship to tell me they are going to have a better day than I am. This day is for couples? Bah, I beg to differ!

Here here! I say treat yourself to all the nice things he/she never thought of. My girls and I -- all of us single -- all dressed up last night, ate dinner together and then proceeded to drink ourselves silly and NOT bring anyone home. I'm still recoverin' :sick: but mostly doing OK. Even if I was with someone right now, I think it's pretty crass that so many people treat VD (heh heh) as a day to shove couple-ness in everyone's faces. Three cheers for making the day about you and no one else! *heads back to banyo*
