Hallmark Holidays...

So, today was Valentines Day - the highest and holiest of the hallmark holidays!  It's completely over-rated.  Single or with someone, I never really put too much stock in the importance of this hyped up holiday.  It's really just another day, and do you need a special reason to say I Love You to someone?  If you do, one day isn't going to help you!

Why is it that love is in the air for Valentine's Day and the other days seem forgotten?  When I worked in higher education, I used to sponsor Anti-Valentine's Day parties - whether I was single or not.  There are a ton of single people out there that just end up getting depressed at all the over hype this day has in store, is it any wonder there's some resentment there?

This year, I am single yet again, and my usual Valentine (my best friend) is across the pond, hopefully having a very good time with a boy - I wish him all the best!  I cleaned, re-arranged furniture, went to the gym, ran a few errands, bought myself something nice, and have had a lazy Sunday lounging about watching tv and lots of gay movies.  Would I rather have had someone's hand to hold, hell yeah - will that feeling be there tomorrow the same as it was the day before?  Hell yes.  I'm a romantic at heart - Valentine's Day does not change that!

So, happy Hallmark Holiday y'all!  Besides, for me, tomorrow is the most important day - Arrival Day!
