Isn't it true? And most of us single people are too embarrassed to admit we have nothing better to do on Valentines Day than blog! Well, come on guys, out of the single's closet! Stand proud...yes, we're alone, and that's because we are no longer satisfied with dating schlock...we're waiting for Mr./Ms. GREAT to come along, and if said person doesn't show up, so be it. We will remain single forever rather than spend even ONE more Valentine's Day miserable from WITHIN a relationship!
I for one did go out on an early date today...I took my son to the chocolate store, where we chose Valentines chocolates for him, his sister, and my date (ME!), and then I took my date (once again, me) to a movie. Granted, I WAS the only person there alone, which was a bit daunting...and I was for a moment considering NOT going to the movie, because I figured I'd be the only one there, ALONE...but then I said, and...?
Something happens to you after you get screamed at by 10,000 chainers (and breeders, and DAs, and cops)...suddenly, the things that seemed too daunting to take on suddenly seem easy, breezy, don't make you queasy...
Suddenly, being the only single person at the oh-so-fun, just-released romantic comedy Music and Lyrics is a walk in the park! And, don't forget the perks that come with dating yourself...you get to pick ALL the movies...you actually get the gift you WANT (dark chocolate covered strawberries)...you get ALL the popcorn to yourself...and you get to totally immerse yourself in the movie without worries about the other person enjoying him/herself. It's all about YOU. And just how rare is that?
Not that I was totally ignored today, I DID get about 100 phone calls...but they were not asking me out on a date; instead they were quite miffed because their DOG got a Valentine. I was all too eager to get out of the house and let the phone ring on it's own...the answering machine is now full, and so they'll just have to call back tomorrow to complain...
Wanna know the funny part? They demand to be taken off our mailing list...but then don't leave their address! So, how in God's name can we take them out of the database if we have no idea who they are? Think, people, Think!
Happy Valentines Day to you ALL, our supporters, and to all the chained dogs we missed in our campaign (as well as the ones we did get but our pleas were ignored). We're thinking of you all right now, and praying you survive this horrible weather. We're trying for you guys, we really are, and we LOVE you. Tammy
