I’ve been bombarded with Valentine’s talk from all directions lately, something I’m sure is not unusual. How are y’all holding up with it? I have to say, I first noticed all this lovey-dovey malaise kicking in as much as a week ago, and I thought, “Oh, yes, it’s time for the single folk to be bitter!” And they did not disappoint!
However, over the weekend, I’ve been hit with the sheer JOY some of my non-single friends feel over the upcoming holiday. Whoo!
I, um, don’t get it. I love the Boy. The Boy loves me. I hope it’s ok if we go on with our regularly scheduled Wednesday evenings this week, because I really can’t miss class and things would wildly awry if he weren’t at work… And I really hope it’s ok if I’m still sure the Boy loves me even if he doesn’t buy me some hot house roses and take me out to dinner. The last thing I need is him convincing of his undying love by giving me something that will keep the cats up all night vomiting.
Here are my thoughts on Valentine’s Day, as they have occurred to me over the weekend:
- Did you know that the Hallmark Channel is showing a made-for-tv romantic movie every nioght at 9:00 for the entire month of February?? Clear out the DVR, here comes some serious therapy!
- I have a friend scheduled for an unpleasant and scary medical diagnostic test this Wednesday. All you people mailing your fucking chocolates and such across the country are gonna slow down the mail and my care package might not get there in time. Perhaps I should have mentioned this sooner, but she is more important.
- President’s Day is next Monday!
- All love songs, all weekend? Oh, I am mad about you, Belinda Carlisle!
- Broke + PMS = very bad any other time of year. But hey! All the chocolate will be half off on Thursday.
- And finally, this one I just realized, must make sure not to wear typical bsuiness casual uniform of all black on Wednesday…
You’re hilarious and awesome.
