Happy S.A.D. (singles awareness day)

valentine's day has never been my favorite holiday of the year. it's somewhere below easter and st. patrick's day and hovers just above columbus day and hanukkah (and that's only because i'm not jewish so really i wonder if it counts on my own personal holiday list). i don't actually even mind valentine's day itself. what i do mind is the days leading up to it when i am bombarded with pink and red candy everything in every store i step into. this year i think the decorations for valentine's went up on january first ( in case you wonder which holiday is next, just visit your local retailer today because i'm betting four leaf clovers abound and a few bunny rabbits are already sniffing around the aisles). but, back to the holiday at hand...like i said, i have never cared too much about v-day but this year it just seemed like love was mocking me, rubbing my singleness in a little bit if you will. people were falling in love left and right. it was like an epidemic and i never get sick.

dear cupid,

i seem to have an arrow or two lodged in my heart with your name on them. if you would like to kindly come and retrieve them i would be most grateful. it was a nice try but you're aim must have been a little off this year. next year let's just stick to shooting conversation hearts okay?

p.s.

you're not really a baby anymore. put some clothes on.

xoxo
