Happy Me Day!!!
Okay so yesterday marked the 26th year I spent St. Valentines Day Sans Amor' aka alone in love. I used to hate Valentines Day with as much passion that can rivial any romantic movie. But this year I think I have come to grips with the fact that I am one...single...alone and not so much afraid of that idea as i used to be.
I can remember my first Valentines Day experience, it was when I was 6 years old and my Mother was taking me shopping for a new pair of shoes...even at 6 I was a shoe diva:) Anyway, we went to a department store and I saw all the beautiful decorations and pretty pink and red boxes and paper and the most beautiful ribbon I have ever seen. Then I saw grown ups buying things like jewelry, candy and candles. My mother told me that they were buying those things for their husband/wives or girlfriends/boyfriends. I thought that was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard of. I mean the fact that someone thought so much of someone that they wanted to make them smile. And that person was going to recieve one of those special gifts. Imagine how that person was going to feel when they were prsented with that special gift from that special some one...oh it made me smile just thinking about it. I couldn't wait til I was old enough to get married or have a boyfriend so I could experience Valentines Day in that way.
Well needless to say that 26 years have gone by and I have yet to recapture that feeling I felt when I was 6 years old. However every year my Mother always gives me a box of chocolates and that makes me feel special enough. I won't tell you guys some dumb a** speech about how "I Love myself and that is enough for me"...shooks I wrote and published that bullish. But I do feel that every man and woman wants and needs to feel special...so I declare everyday Valentines Day so that all the lonely ppl won't feel to bad. *wink*
Sans Amor'...did I spell that right?

My mother told me last night that no matter what I should always make sure I do something special for myself and love myself on Valentine’s Day regardless of whether I have a man or not.
My sister has a boyfriend and made this nice romantic dinner only for everything to blow up in her face last nite and end up pissed off.
Be patience, Mr. Right will come along. I know that it gets lonely sometimes, but use those times to get in touch with yourself and when Mr. Right comes, please don’t forget to send me an invitation to the wedding (smile).
Good to see you back, girlie!
anyhow, glad you are taking on a new perspective of things.
well, I hope soon, you find someone worthy of your time ;)

to me... everyday is valentine's day... in fact if i have to wait my man to do li'l/special things for me only on the special day, then it's not special anymore :)
Besides I don't like red, I don't like chocolate and I don't like sappy. Makes it hard on a guy, huh? At least that's what he tells me. :)
