V.D.

isn't it funny that the holiday celebrating love has the initials V.D.? so, it's here once again.....the holiday celebrating love. i have always said i think it is a stupid day, but let's be honest here -- what girl doesn't like the idea of getting mushy gifts and being swooned over?? unfortunately, it's been a long while since i've experienced the bliss of valentine's. my relationships are either just beginning or just ending almost every year at this time. bummer. i can always count on flowers from Jorge, but i generally don't have a "valentine." tonight, my big plans are to take my sister on a date since her hubby is still in Iraq. THAT is how exciting my life is right now. last night, i had a movie marathon and watched "return to me," "save the last dance," and "runaway bride" to get me in the mood for all of this love stuff. there's a scene in runaway bride that got me thinking. julia roberts and richard gere are walking and talking and part of the conversation included this" "Is there one 'right' person for everyone?" "No, but I think attraction is mistaken for rightness." how true is that? i personally believe that timing is a big factor. i've dated a few men that i'm sure, had we been at different places in our lives, we'd have lived happily ever after. i know that one of these days, it will happen for me. i'll have a real valentine, and he can send flowers, and spend a lot of money on me because of a commercialized holiday. i have so much to look forward to! happy valentines day!
