I Hate Being Alone On Valentines Day!

[therapybankrupt]

Its just depressing! The only day of the year I feel completely out of the loop. I need to go out and buy myself something! How about all you single people what do you for this couples holiday? Your ideas, rants and jokes are welcome too!

And are you not happy that you are in a relationship with "me" (you) rather than some dunce?! You sound quite a considerate partner. Heart sampler and monkey!

Point well taken Abstract. I just have to pay attention and get myself something for myself every year. If you can't love yourself who can you love! I am learning lol!

I was ok with being along on Valentines Day. Until a co-work came up to me all sappy, seeing how I was handling being alone. *sigh*. I am going to enjoy some fried chicken for this...great day.

I always end up buying stuff for my daughter.... She loves it! Balloons, chocolates, a card and the obligatory stuffed animal. This year it's a shar pei that is being delivered via UPS.:)

It's fun doting on her and this year she was old enough to read the card herself and she really appreciated it -- which made me feel good.

A co-worker pulled some outdated candy out of the discount cart and told me to take it home for my boys. So I did. I tossed a bag to my older son and wished him a happy Valentine's Day. He looked at the bag and then he looked at me and then he looked at the bag again and he said, "Uh...Mom? These are pumpkin shaped candy corn candies?" And I said, "Yep. Halloween leftovers. Don't break a tooth".

Yesterday, I purchased some beautiful tulips for my mom and grown daughter to take the Valentine's Day focus off of me. I stopped by their homes and presented them last night. It made them happy, so I felt good.

Today, I ordered take out seafood for one from my favorite restaurant for dinner and watched rented movies all day. Later in the evening, I went out and bought myself some ice cream with brownies mixed in. Delicious!!

I felt several moments of loneliness but I kept busy. Until I heard a song that reminded me of My ex C-PTSD boyfriend and I broke down crying because I miss him so much deep down. I even when on facebook and stared at his picture. Lol, I know, I know it's crazy...It's foolish but at least I didn't call or text him today.Thank God we are not FB friends.

I'm really okay now. Crying and writing about my feelings helps me get out my painful emotions. I'm trying hard to move on and heal. I have a date with a good male friend tomorrow and I've also been talking to guys online but, I'm not ready for anything outside of a conversation.

I can't believe I miss my cheating, ex-husband. I spent the day working on the house and playing with my faithful dog. Definitely prefer the company of my spoiled dog than most people. He doesn't care it is Valentine's and loves me every day. The heck with people.

I didn't even have time to consider the fact that I'm single on Valentine's. I had a programming midterm at 7pm.
I think we've all had a few choice words for our professor over the last week or two because of this. The lecture time is 11am Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Naturally that means the test should be 7pm on Thursday, right? :rolleyes:
