Okay single folks, how are you spending Valentine's day? Or as I call it, "Single Awareness Day"? Don't give me shit for calling it Valentine's day either........"saint" or not, I like the candy!! I think I'm dressing up, and taking my single happy ass to the Phoenix Art Museum. There is supposed to be some fun for all happening there!
I've never really cared for the holiday. I find it odd that we feel obligated to go out of our way/above and beyond to make one single day out of the year special for someone we care about. I do nice/special things for my SO throughout the year when I feel compelled to do so. I think it's the small things that matter most anyway. I don't need a big whoop-dee-doo. I would make plans to go out if I knew of an anti-Valentine's Day event.
All of the holidays are made up. So I'm gonna do for VD what I did for xmas. I'm gonna buy a "holiday clearance" bag of Hershey's Kisses. Then I'm gonna 'accidentally' (this time) lose them in my Jeep. Then every few days, the Chocolate Fairy will reward me with a few Kisses for not ramming my Jeep into deserving assholes on the freeway.
Watching the Bolshoi?
I expect I will do the same thing I would do most other nights, watch DVDs or mess around on Facebook, although going to the art museum is possible.
I'll be working since it's right in the middle of my work week. Then I'll come home, fix dinner and help my kids with homework, do house work till ten or so then lay in bed for a couple hours before I can get any sleep. Same as most days I guess since I've been aware of being single since my divorce a few years ago.
Putting on a nice suit, a romantic walk downtown, gourmet dinner, an amusing night of trivia and karaoke, cab ride home, then bed
By the way, I'm recently divorced, single, and live in Wisconsin. I'll be doing all these things by myself, in below freezing weather the whole time.
That "romantic walk downtown" is going to be cold. And by "cab", I mean Uber. In Wisconsin, which after 11pm is basically just a drunk shuttle.
It's going to be fabulous.
I'm going to hang out with a friend and we're going to go to an atheist Meetup. Should be fun it's at a bar. I don't drink but maybe I should start LOL.
Taking a couple shots won’t kill you, it hardly gives me an inkling of a buzz. I highly recommend tequila.
That's awesome! Have fun!
@Funandfondles couple of lines of cocaine won't kill you but you should try that. I like giving out bad advice. I don't know which medications you're on and I don't know how you react to cocaine but I'm going to tell you to do just a couple of lines because that's smart.
@SonderOpia One nibble on a brownie "edible" maybe. A very small nibble. Just sayin'.
@SonderOpia it’s a common/innocent assumption, if you have complications I’m unaware of, that’s why you’re aware of them.
@Funandfondles You're*
@Funandfondles thank you for editing that.
@SonderOpia I aim to please (eyes rolling)
Just another day. I do miss the old days. But...
One of my Christian Extremist friends is trying to hook me up with a woman who he swears is not a Christian, but I really doubt that is true. I have told him I will never waste my time with another Christian woman.
I am hosting Soup Night for my over-55 Singles Social Club. I make a big vt of soup, supply bread/rolls & condiments, they bring sandwich fillings or desserts. Anyone near SE Connecticut, email me, you are welcome!
Wish I was close by I'd totally go to that. Enjoy.
So cool, Anne!!
I used to live close enough to join you, but now I'm way too far! Bummer!
What kind of soup, by the way?
@carlyhorton I save turkey bones from Thanksgiving & Xmas ham, throw in a few beef rib bones, browned onions, and boil...then add different kinds of beans and lots of vegies, garlic, parmesan, tomato paste...comes out the same only different every year, sort of like minestrone.
Tomorrow?
Lettsee..I'll get up at 5 AM and look at the Southern Cross and Alpha/Beta Centauri from my balcony.
I'll take a long walk at sunrise to take bird photos.
I'll eat spicy Thai food.
I'll watch Carbon on Netflix, also Queer Eye, stand up comedians, and any other show that catches my eye, etc.
I'll read a Kindle book and eat cashew nuts.
I'll teach ESL online
I'll hang out on this forum to see if any cool conversations are going down.
Going grocery shopping with a friend who has a singularly unromantic husband. We'll probably go out to dinner as well.
Lol... A singularly unromantic husband. Sounds dreamy.
I'll be teaching 2-D Design class and Advanced ceramics.
Good Luck and Prosper on Saint Valentine Day.
