It was a good day after all......

Ahhh, Valentine's Day. It is hailed as the most romantic day of the year. Folks scrambling wildly to get the perfect gift or arrange for the perfect date. Lots of folks get marrigae proposals and rose petal turn-downs at classy hotels,and need I mention the after hours aerobic activities??? Well, I was not in that group,but that's okay. It's been since 1996 that I spent V-day with a sweethaeart and time has taught me how to enjoy the holiday for myself even though I am by myself. The day started with a loving call to my Mom and wishing her all the love she could stand. Then I got a Valentine text from the guy that broke up with me (what an ass). I was going to be mean and not respond...I at least responded thanks. Oh it gets funnier....he sent me a cheap a%# card in the mail the read "Valentine wishes with lots of love". Ok, he must really think I'm desparate for male attention. Again, I silenced the evil voice telling me to not thank the clown for the card.... I texted him a thank you. Then he responds..."Just letting you know you're being fondly thought of." WTH????? Ok, now it's REALLY obvious he wants to keep me in rotation for occasional nooky. I ain't the one!!! When I'm done with you, I'm done! Liek the Bible says (and I'm paraphrasing) "going back to your old ways is like a dog returning to it's vomit". Needless to say I haven't heard anymore from him,which proves all that was just a bunch of mess.
I went to mall, bought myself some lip gloss and some smell-good for the crib. Then I stopped by the store to pick up a card and some flowers for a homegirl of mine. Us single women have to encourage each other and show each other love. I met Babs and the Intern for 'Ritas and chips..(check out Babs' blog...I got a new nickname), then I headed off to see 5 Men On A Stool. I had a great time. Of course when I returned home,my dog Chip was excited to see me as always. Good ole faithful,unconditional lovin' Chip. Before I closed my eyes, I thanked God for His love, the love of family,friends,Chip,and definately the love I have for myself. In the words of that 20th century poet Ice Cube..."today was a good day..."
