When the person you are planning to spend the rest of your life with is cremated on Valentine's Day, it sort of ruins it. This year I'll be volunteering with a group of friends at the Food Bank. We do it to two Thursdays a month and that's just how the dates fell to keep us on our schedule. My favorite day is 2/15, but the last couple of years there hasn't been any good chocolate on sale for some odd reason so it's been highly disappointing.
I ran into the grocery store on 12/26 and they already had a V-day endcap set up. Of course, this was the same store that had Halloween clearance on one side of the aisle and Christmas lights on the other on 11/1 so this wasn't exactly a shock.
Personally, I'd rather get a bunch of wildflowers for no reason in July than a bouquet of roses in February because the calendar dictates it.
I never cared for V-day...hated it since high school. It would simply been nice if we can just skip the 14th and go straight to the 15th. A day like that has no value nor meaning for a single person.
And of course the commercialism surrounding it is very appalling too, just like most other 'holidays'.
I am dreading it because i am attracted to a 58 year old single woman i work with and i am curious if she has a boyfriend or not. i am trying to figure out if she has anyone. what are some signs she might have somebody? she works 9-7 so if she took the day off or cut her hours that day? if she wears red on that day could that be a sign? any other hints?
I've always hated Vday but then I went from being a nerdy unpopular girl in middle school, to an angst-filled gothy teen, to the generally easygoing in combat boots Mom thing I rock today...but none of me has ever liked girly pink cutesy anything. Honestly I would LOVE to do like on Zombieland and have a go at a Vday display in any store with like a baseball bat...just smash everything. Oh the joy!
Nowadays it's not about the fact that I often feel underappreciated by my loved ones, though sometimes I do...it's more that February is just my least favorite month. I don't like winter and by February I'm completely sick of it. It's after all of the good holidays (Halloween, Christmas, birthdays) and too soon to be planning vacations, concerts (that's fall for me) or trips...just...nothing good is going on. The month drags by even though it's shorter than the others. So Vday is just a garbage holiday in a garbage month.
As for chocolate I love me some Godiva, but by Feb. I've already spent way too much $$ on the stuff and burned myself out on it...Christmas and my birthday in Jan. pretty much guarantee that.
I don't hate or love it. It's mostly just another day. If we both have the evening off, we will hang out and enjoy each other's company. This year my better half has to work, so I will be hanging with the dogs. We have a beagle on bed rest so she will get some extra snuggles.
If we decide to go out for a nice dinner, it will be on another night when prices aren't jacked up. I don't need roses sent to work that I will probably just kill, anyway. I will just wait until the roses he planted in front of our house bloom.
I don't hate it. I will give little cards to some friends and have a bit of fun with it. One year it was "Happy Bunny" Cards and one year "I Love Lucy".
And I so agree with all of you who mentioned discounted chocolate the next day!
