Love Day

Well tomorrow's Valentines Day and what could be more romantic than this picture I found on the net? Nothin' says lovin' like a gesture like this. I got twenty bucks that says there's a woman somewhere sweeping up a heart shaped patch of hair from her bathroom floor. Oooh, baby...

I've been a little stuck for topics to post about these days. It would help if I was bitter about being "alone" on Valentines day, so I could bitch and moan about it, but frankly, I'm not alone. My life is full of love. I will be popping out to buy my beautiful little girl some chocolaty goodies at some point today, as I do every year. She's the most consistent valentine I've ever had. For the last 16 years she's been the love of my life. She doesn't make me cards out of red construction paper and doilies anymore, but I can overlook that. You see? I'm not that picky.

Some women think that it should be every body's life goal to find a man, and that you can't be happy without one. I think it would be awesome to find a guy that I will still be excited about after a couple of years. But I'm not gonna commit myself to someone just for the sake of partnering up! That's how you end up sweeping hairy heart patches off your bathroom floor!

There are these two elderly twin sisters who hang around our mall quite a bit. They sit and have coffee at "the second cup" and wander around the mall. I think they live together and they seem inseparable. They wear identical winter coats, only one is red, and one is blue, and both have long grey hair. My Mom actually said the other day, "I don't want you and your sister to turn into the mall twins!" I had to laugh, because we've joked ourselves about sitting on the porch swing together as old ladies.

Well hopefully someday, I will find a man who I can laugh with, and snuggle on the couch with at night. Maybe I'll try an on line dating service, or some singles events. Maybe I'll run into that cute guy at the dog park as the weather gets warmer. But until I find the man that is a good fit for me, I'm just gonna be happy with the blessings that I've got. And that's a lot.
