okay, so you know I have that significant other that , yes, did happen when I stopped trying to find him. (my personal theory is that when we are "looking" we tend not to be our normal selves and thus can never find the person who likes us for who we are... okay, sunny10 lecture over)
I got up yesterday morning, dressed in a red sweater and blue jeans (most days I work in sweats), did my hair, put on perfume and makeup (also hardly ever happens), kissed sweetie on the check goodbye (he puts on that tooth-whitening stuff in the morning, so we never "properly" kiss in the morning) and went to work. No mention of Valentine's Day (I'm laughing inside, do I have to wear a sign?! But I don't really care, so I'm just laughing at us)
He calls from work- apparently one of the guys asked him what we were doing for Valentine's Day and reminded him, prompting his call. He wishes me a Happy Valentine's Day and we discuss whether we'll be having the leftover vegetable stromboli or the thawed chicken for dinner. I say "see ya later" and he says that he didn't get me anything "remember, you said you didn't want anything" he says(I had asked him not to buy me roses with my own credit card like my ex-husband did; to him that translated as "I don't want anything"). I, too think of it as a Hallmark Holiday, so I'm just shaking my head and laughing.
I stop at the grocery store on the way home to buy smokes and I pick up some lucky bamboo bunches (one for SO, one for son) and a couple of lottery tickets (which I don't usually buy), walk in the house, wish him a happy valentine's day, and tell him not to forget that if the tickets win we will split the money. This is while he's lifting weights, as usual.
We make dinner, clean up, and watch romantic comedies on Lifetime channel. He falls asleep while I watch the second one. At the end of the movie, I shut off the tv and go to sleep.
And that's a real Happy Valentine's day !!!
