Feb. 3rd, 2012 12:16 pmRight, so I headed up to bed at 9pm, so that I could get to bed early, maybe get 7 hours of sleep. But I got to writing about Root…and then made the mistake of checking my inbox and seeing an invite to an anti-valentine’s day party from a friend, full of righteous “Valentine’s Day sucks and we single people have to unite and…” sort of tongue in cheekish…
But still. I LOVE being single on Valentine’s Day. Admittedly, my ex made it difficult to enjoy Valentine’s Day. He has many wonderful qualities, but was never much of a gift-giver, never good at remembering even the de rigueur holidays, like Valentine’s Day. I think even before we were married I saw a card that read on the outside “Do you know what Valentine’s Day would be without sex?” and on the inside “If I don’t get chocolate and flowers, you’re going to find out.” I bought a dozen of them. Which some of you might argue, right there, in a nutshell, was proof as to why it didn’t work out. OR, proof as to why we managed to stay together for over 20 years. You decide.
( That's okay, I'm still not sure either. )
