Valentine's Day And The Single Person

[CordyC]

Oh, I hate this time of year - yesterday was my wedding anniversary, and tomorrow's V-Day. Since I didn't celebrate Event #1 for obvious reasons (Hello...Divorced Here!), I am buying myself a "Consolation Prize. I'm thinkin' amethyst earrings. Because single women get to buy themselves jewellery!

How about you? Anything planned to treat yourself as the Special Somebodies that you are???

Hmm good idea buddy.How about if I can have a day where I am not throwing up, lol,that would be soo nice right now.I know wouldn't I make a great date.
Well since I thought I was going to have a date for tommorow and don't now, if I am feeling up to it, think I will go by myself something too.We sure do deserve it, right girls.
Have a wonderful day tommorow and one day our man for us will be here to celebrate love day.Hugs.

Well, I didn't intend for it to be a V-day present, but it still can...I had delivered a Pro-Form treadmill yesterday, went and got a piece of carpeting for underneath if, got on it last night and away I walked, watching tv!!

I'm feeling pretty bummed today. I'm home recuperating from surgery, and my boyfriend is spending today and the weekend in Daytona for "Race week" festivities. Actually, he lives in Port Orange, about 60 miles from me, and he stayed with me for the first week after surgery. He left on Wednesday to go home. Of course I'm feeling angry and hurt... probably over-reacting, but thinking he should be here with me, especially on Valentine's Day. We've been together for 13 months, and he knows that Valentine's Day is special to me. I'm angry that he's partying with his buds in Daytona while I'm sitting here alone in a wheelchair. I know I'm feeling sorry for myself. He called me this morning, wished me a Happy Valentine's Day and said he'd see me Monday. We really didn't have a chance to talk cuz the reception on his cell phone was so poor. I just think especially under the circumstances he should have come to Orlando today to at least take me out to dinner. He could have gone back for the rest of the weekend. Am I just whining and feeling sorry for myself? or.... does anyone besides me think he's being insensitive? He just left here Wednesday, is 60 miles away, and traffic because of the races is unbelieveable.... but I think I'm worth the time and the trip. What do you think?

Aww buddy of course we are worth it, but.. hmm do they think about us of them, lol.I hope you have a good day no matter what, how about getting some girls that are single over and have a hen party.No matter what you do it will be better than mine, I will be spending mine with the toliet bowl,lol.Got dumped, got pregnant and now, hmm get to spend all my time stressing, lol.Oh and now morning sickness has set in, lol.
Yep, hmm maybe we should have the pity party afterall.
hmm was I any help, no, sorry.
Have a good day buddy.Hugs.

I've been separated for two and a half years now.

Last Valentine's Day, my separated-husband sent me a huge bouquet of really lovely roses to my office. It was inappropriate.

He can't control his temper and as recently as a month ago, he called me "a fat piece of **** " before hanging up the phone. This was for a very minor thing - I believe it was that I asked him to PLEASE check our daughter's assignment book as she'd been slipping up at school.

So - - now he want me to go out to dinner. I just don't want to. Our daughters think I'm being mean when I don't want the flowers, when I won't go out for dinner. It's a little difficult to see all the DH-this and DH-that around here.

****{mary catherine, Amy Lynn & Barbie}}} I know how hard it is for all of you, and we would have one awesome Pity Party! Is it a potluck Pity Party? If so, I'll be bringing the veggie tray. :cool:

Amy, you are so worth the trip, and your BP is an a$$ for choosing his buddies over you. Barbie, I hope your body realizes that OP does not mean Over the Potty! When you're a little further along, you won't have to worry that your date would take it as a sign of rejection if you'd have to leave the table abruptly! And Mary Catherine, stand strong and don't let your daughters make you feel guilty about choosing to distance yourself from a man who's capable of that kind of name-calling!

Jodie, what a super gift! I hope you have many happy endorphins from your new treadmill.

I'm going home to pizza, my couch & TV, my son, and litter box pooper-scooping. Where does the glamour end????

Hi there lovable ladies...I have been divorced for 13 years now and I must say that Valentines day is easier and easier as the time goes by. Actually, I have more fun and share more love with my daughter on Valentines day than I ever did with the significant other. I let her go half of the day thinking that I didn't get her anything as Valentines day has been special for her and I for years. Then she left for a couple of hours and I did my thing. The look on her face when she got home and saw that I didn't forget, makes my Valentines Day a super one. I got a hug and lots of pecks on the cheek and two big "I love you" 's

Liven up girls, no pity party necessary, friends and family can make Valentines Day just as special

I assisted my daughter as she made a fabulous dinner for her boyfriend for Valentine's Day. I'd never made crab legs before but that's what she wanted so I was a little nervous. Turned out great.

I won a bet with a close male friend of mine and he offered to take me to dinner at Ruth's Chris. I asked him to take me Thursday the 13th. I just made sure we stayed out until after midnight so I was officially "out to dinner" on Valentines Day.

Valentines day, or as my frined calls it SAD day or Single Awareness Day, actually wasnt too bad this year. Me and one of my best friends went to Manhattan for the night, and had a great time.

Went to a parent's meeting to support the arts program at my daughter's school last night. These are all moms - all married moms - who have been doing the mom job for dozens of years now.

It was a little hard hearing how everybody's Valentine's Day went. Surprise of flowers for one of the gals. A stuffed bear with a few chocolates left on the carseat for another.

Parenting two teenage girls and keeping up with my regular job is just about all I can handle. I can't imagine how I'd manage to include anybody else in my life. Still.

Single Awareness Day; that's preety funny! I may have to steal th....pay homage to that myself!
