Valentine's day

Is it just me or has Valentine's day lost *something*? I can remember feeling like it was such an important holiday.

One year...our first year of dating, as a matter of fact ... Adam decided to "volunteer" for a shift at the radio station for Valentine's day. Guess all the other people had plans with their girlfriend/boyfriend that night - or something. But, he readily accepted the shift and went in for several hours. Boy, was I pissed. So, I went to a girlfriend's house and we drank a bottle of wine and smoked and bitched about men in general. We did turn on the radio to listen to Adam's shift and I guess since I had made my frustration and anger over him accepting this shift PERFECTLY known - he "dedicated" a song to me. Chet Baker's -My funny Valentine - I was not really impressed at the time.

Why is it such a big deal? Am I just really cynical now? Am I just older & wiser? *HEY! Stop laughing!!*

Now I just really want to go to yoga tonight. THAT would be a good Valentine for me. Yep, it's all about me. ASS!

It's seemed to have lost it's luster. It doesn't seem like "all that" now. Nothing worth getting pissed over anymore. Maybe it's just me? I did get some pretty tulips this morning - that was nice. My kids are overdosing on chocolate - guess good for them but bad for me. As if they need a bit MORE energy.

I think I'm just a party pooper now or something. I'm getting like those people who snuff their nose and gripe about how commercial these holidays have gotten. I didn't want to be like that. Maybe it's just a phase??

Probably not.
