Twas the night before Valentine’s….
|
Twas the night before Valentine’s…. Twas the night before Valentine’s…. Twas the night before Valentine’s and all through the house my hair dye was smelling and I was missing my spouse. The mail it had come with a card from him just this day that brought a tear to my eye and smile to my face. I don’t like Valentine’s. I don’t and that’s final. I cried and railed. I wailed and I sighed. But deep in my romantic heart, way down deep, I know that’s not true. I long for a fairy tale Valentine’s Day that’s never come true. I shouldn’t bitch and whine, I hate holidays trumped up by greeting card and jewelry companies to force people into saying and proving how much they love each other when they should be doing it every day. We grow up indoctrinated with this idea of romance and love on this very specific day of the year and its bullshit. I’m a very lucky woman to have a man who tells me every day how much he loves me, how much I mean to him, how beautiful and sexy I am and even more importantly he shows it every time I’m near him. Yet here I sit wishing he were home and handing me a greeting card and chocolates or roses. This year is our 1st Valentine’s Day together. Technically we were together last year in the sense that we were seeing each other but it wasn’t serious then and we were fighting to keep it casual. This year it couldn’t be any more serious than it is. We are totally and completely in love with each other. We absolutely adore everything about the other person and happily spend 24/7 together. We have our wedding planned for April 6th. We hope to have another baby on the way soon. We fully intend to spend the rest of our lives together in wedded bliss and I have no doubts that we will do that. So what in the world am I bitching about then? Ahh, but I was lamenting Valentine’s Day. Next year it’s just as likely that I’ll be alone as this year. At least this year he’ll be home just 2 days after Valentine’s Day for a long weekend. Next year it might be months afterwards before I see him again and he’ll have been gone almost a year. Perhaps by our 3rd Valentine’s Day we’ll be able to have a normal celebration of wine, roses and a nice dinner out? Who knows? Tomorrow will be anything but romantic for me. I’ll be up at 5:45am to feed the dogs and let them out before I head to my cousins house to babysit his 2 little girls until lunch time. Their babysitter has a Dr’s appointment of her own and had to cancel the morning. Afterwards, I have a lunch time interview with a potential pet sitter and then she’ll come over to meet the zoo. Hopefully, she will work out. Wednesday I have my Dr’s appointment to see if the miscarriage was complete or if I have to go through with the D&C anyway. Then I have Lil Bit for a few to give her my Valentine’s Day card and gift. I’m going to take her with me to have my dress altered for the wedding. It came by UPS today and it’s beautiful, I really love it. It’s just too long which I knew it would be and a bit too big. I have no doubt that my favorite seamstress can make it fit me like a glove. Wedding plans are well in hand and my Viking didn’t even flip out when I sent him the price list…lol…he’s such a good sport. But then again we are doing it on the cheap. Now if we can just get a reliable pet sitter so that my visits to him can resume, we can make the Corsets & Kilts party and schedule our few weeks together in Europe in May. Ok I’m done bitching and whining now, sorry to poison your day with that but you don’t have to read. At least you aren’t my poor Viking who was accused of terrible misdeeds this weekend for no reason other than technology mishaps, my over active imagination and my raging hormones. I really felt awful but he seemed to take it in stride like everything else. I’m really am truly blessed to have him and the incredible love we share. No doubt our future Valentine’s Days will be much more romantic and unforgettable than this one. Take care and love each other well. Kisses, L  Kisses, LA    |

I'm with you on the indoctrinating people that there is a "special" day when you have to show you care for each other. Each day should be special in it's own way.

There is always technology to bring you two together tomorrow. And you said he's be home in a few days so you can have your own Valentine's Day celebration. Who cares what the calendar says! As a matter of fact, how about this... Happy Valentine's YEAR!  "For a woman there is nothing more erotic than being understood." ~ Molly Haskell Read about Me Being Naughty o-o
