The Joys (and Woes?) of Valentine's Day

I had just posted a message on my gmail status about the InStyle 20% off promo code, and that those shopping for Valentine's Day should actually buy whatever they need to buy now so that they are better prepared and actually put some thought into gift giving.

My BFF saw the message, and said that I made her depressed.. and then I was like "Hell, it makes me depressed too!" (not seriously depressed...i'm not on any meds or need to be admitted to any mental asylums, for the record.)

While we all say that "valentine's day should be everyday", the fact is, it's not...it's just on February 14th, when guys know there's no excuse (such a sports, poker night, work, etc) for NOT doing something special with their significant other.

Therefore, it makes a majority of the single ladies out there who end up staying at home and watching tv with their dogs, a little bitter. Perhaps, not even "bitter" but "reflective"...

Like, why is it that I find myself not involved in a relationship. If the case is that you really have conscientiously (sp?) decided not be get into a committed relationship, then more power to you!

However, if it's because you can never just seem to "Mesh" well with a guy, then you end up questioning yourself, like: what I am doing? where are the great eligible guys? how come *she* has a boyfriend/date and I don't?

So, my point here is that, perhaps we shouldn't be so angry/depressed/bitter about the whole Valentine's Day concept. Rather, maybe figure out how we picture the day for us to be ideally, and then work towards that goal. If not for this year (until you can work real quick in the next 2 weeks), but for next year.

And what does that have to do with Itsy Bitsy underwear? well, isn't it obvious? You should buy them! lol (or the lotions/oils/fluffy robes, etc etc.)
