Yay today is Valentine’s Day, and I am living it up. That is unusual for a single person, especially recently single. For some reason I found myself drawn to it. I guess it's easier actually because I am not expecting anything, which means I don't have any reason to be disappointed today. Something, anything, from anyone would be nice, definitely since it'd be a total surprise, but then again it might not be a good thing. So I am totally indifferent and celebratory at the same time.
I am a veteran and spend a lot of time at the local hospital. It isn’t much and I couldn't do it for all patients but I know that a lot of the vets don't have anyone much less a significant other. So I bought a box of children’s valentine cards. I think it had 32 cards. I signed them all to My VA Buddy, love Jesyka. They of course appreciated the gesture; I got a lot of smiles, hugs, Happy VDAY's and a lot of jokes. It was a great experience and making them happy, makes me happy.
And then there is my special friend, the one I know the best and the longest. He is a computer geek, worse than I am so I made something extra special for him. I was trying to avoid the unneeded holiday, especially since I am not dating anyone, so I got a last minute rush on this. I waited till today and surprised him because I didn't want to expect anything in return.
I made him a webpage. I used a free site, Weebly.com and picked out a few poems, pictures and videos that were relevant to our relationship. It was so fun, free and I think the perfect gift. It is a way to say how you feel, in language they understand. And it is always there, forever more, and they can be reminded of your love with just a click of a mouse.
Alright hours have gone by and I haven't heard from that special someone. So unfortunately now that messes up my blog because I did however expect a response of some sort so that I could tell everyone what he thought. I guess I shouldn't have held him in such high regards. Needless to report now is that my ex did call me for Valentine's Day and asked if he could stop by tomorrow. He isn't a gift giver, I'm sure he has an alternate agenda but it’s always nice seeing him so hopefully he does show.
Well, well, well. This single lady decided to spoil herself a little. That’s a great thing to do on holidays when you feel alone. The best thing to do of course is to try and ignore the glam and treat it like any other day. I think most men do. They don't really expect anything, they really don't want anything because then they feel obligated to buy gifts and celebrate what they believe is a silly holiday. And honestly it is in my opinion too.
But the ex was begging for some pictures and wanted me to email some. So guess what I did for the next hour after that. I made him a special webpage, a sexy webpage just for him. Well now a few hours later and I find out that he loves it. He is absolutely blown away, smitten by the thought, care and personalization I put into it. Now I guess it is good for some people, just not all. I thought it a brilliant idea and can't wait for future chances to do it again.
Now on the contrary belief, I heard a techie male give his thoughts on Valentine's Day on the radio this morning. Well this is a great idea for technical men and women to remember. When all you do, or when the both of you are always online, a good gift for any holiday is to turn off all electronics and spend a few hours engaging with only each other. Sounds just as great but I would be just as happy if he took the time to make a webpage dedicated to me. I think that’s sweet.
