People seem to love to bash Valentine's Day. They snidely point out it was "invented" by Hallmark. It's just another ploy to extract money from consumers. This is probably true, but why ruin your day stewing about economics ? Today is my free hall pass. I can dress up in red and get the world's approval, and celebrate on a otherwise bleak and gray winter day. I even bought myself something special....Chocolate Wine! I'll spend all day today anticipating it's deliciousness when I open it up tonight. People who grump about V-Day are looking for someone else to make the day special for them. Who knows you better than YOU?! Why, you know exactly what you like. Why let someone botch it up and dissappoint you? Plan your special day around YOU for a change and then if you don't have a special someone to share it with, invite someone who's company you enjoy. Remember, if it's all about you, you won't be let down. Were you hoping for chocolates, jewelery, a canlelit dinner? Please.....if you are a woman then you know that men simply cannot pull this off competently except in TV commercials. Did you want Godiva chocolates or Whitman from Walgreen's. Now I know you want Godiva, but he will go to Walgreen's and then he will drive to Walmart and look around the store in hopeless confusion. Men with secretaries send them to do the shopping and their wives are grateful.
But if your man is shopping and planning a special day SOLO, then do yourself a favor and get involved. Go shopping! Buy yourself something that truly brings personal satisfaction. After all, it is really all about you...just ask him.
