Well BigGirlz Friday is Valentine's Day. The day of LOVE and
couples, flowers and candy, broken hearts and loneliness; but it really doesn’t
have to be. Why can’t this be a day of Service and helpfulness, smiles and
laughter and my favorite, seafood and wine? (oh yeah!) Ya see BigGirlz, I have
a different plan for my V day.
Now, I hesitated on writing or even commenting on this day
because I’m good with Valentine’s Day but after hearing so many negative
comments from various women throughout the week both bashing and dreading February
14th, I just couldn’t keep my fingers off the keyboard. First things
first, big flippin deal it’s just another day! GET OVER YOURSELF! Ok now that I’ve
gotten that off my chest, I can be a little more civil. Yes, I get. Being single
on that particular day can be a little painstaking, especially if you are tired
of being alone and you would really like to have a special someone in your
life. To top it off, you’re constantly seeing women you consider to be “ugly as
hell” with men. (Sorry I couldn’t resist that one) hahahaha! Like I said, yep I
get it. But for me the key to making peace with Cupid’s random ass is to fall
in love with me. Sounds corny but it
works. When you’re focused on improving your relationship with you, there’s not
a lot of room for pining over what could be with who knows what.
So, what’s my plan for the day of LOVE? Well I’m glad you asked.
I’m spending my day with someone I love…me of course. Godiva for lunch and
Shrimp Alfredo for dinner. YUM!!!! I would
love to go out to dinner but hell, V day is on a flippin Friday and all of the restaurants
will be crowded so looks like I will be cooking my own, but I’m ok with that. If
I stay in then I can drink as much wine as my little heart desires (wine is a
must with your seafood). That’s it chocolate, shrimp and a big ass
glass or bottle of wine. Hey don't judge me. And yes I’m excited about it too.
My point, you have to decide to have a good Valentine’s Day. Like
every other day you have the power to make it a positive or a negative
experience. Just enjoy the day the BigGirlz. Screw worrying about not be having someone to
spend it. Stop worrying about the hideous girl in the cubicle next to you who
will probably get two or three dozen roses while you’re sitting at your desk
chasing the dust bunnies off your monitor. Don’t give in to your funky
feelings. You can survive, remember, it’s just a day. Besides why ruin a perfectly
good Friday by sitting around feeling sorry for yourself.
Get out, get moving and if all else fails, get plastered. Will
it change your situation, why hell no but by the time you find the bottom of
the bottle will it really matter?
I’m moving on to the next one anticipating a perfect evening
with a perfect me…LOL!!!
