Valentine's Day aka Single's Awareness Day

So next week is one of the most loathed days of the year for singles and even for some couples. There's so much pressure to get the perfect gift for that significant other. Even couples who despise each other the rest of the year some how become all lovey dovey once February 14 rolls around.

I've never been in a relationship on Valentine's day and honestly I don't know if being in a relationship would change my view of Valentine's day. I would much rather get flowers on a random day, not on a day where every florist and grocery store has tripled the price of those same flowers. Why should florists and card companies dictate when you should declare your love for someone?

Single for the Holidays

So I have gone through another holiday season single again. The holidays are some of the worst times to be single it seems. I spent New Year's Eve with A going out to dinner and a movie. We also went out Christmas day to a movie. Having A has definitley helped being single lately. Without him I don't know what I would do.

The worst holiday is yet to come though. Valentine's day is every single woman's least favorite day of the year. Even though it's only 1 day, it seems that the stores start Jan 1 with decorations, so it feels more like 6 weeks of Valentine's instead of just one day.

On the plus side I have started my new years off pretty well with exercise and changing my eating habits.
