It is Valentine's day! Yeah! Okay I should be manic depressed because I don't have a __________ (boyfriend, husband, red hot latin lover). But I'm totally okay with that. That's 99% truth. It's a holiday and I love to have any kind of excuse to celebrate. Unfortunately my only pink/red item in my wardrobe, my favorite Billabong sweater was worn on Tuesday. So not wanting to appear to be a scrub I wore my powder blue shirt that has a fake pink sparkly name tag that says "Hello, My Name is SUGAR" plus after the sugar it has a little heart. (My name was Sugar in highschool and my uncle calls me his Sugarplum fairy). I clipped my hair with little girl pink plastic bow barrettes and have those cheesy stick on earrings that are pink polka dot hearts. That is my festive costume. Perhaps I'm silly. Okay I admit that I am.

I'm going to a Valentine lunch with Erin, my also perpetually single friend. Us single people have to stick together. I was going to buy her a flower but they were so picked over so instead I bought her a pasta measurer/pasta fork, she really wanted it, she's almost as strange as me. Plus I bought her a cheap little girls necklace that is a heart with her name on it.

I think every woman deserves to get flowers regardless if you are single, a newly wed or married for forty years. I think us women realize this. I bought Jess and Erin roses for sweetest day. Erin bought me flowers when things didn't work out with the last guy. And Jess sent me flowers when I had a "I'm so fat, I'm so ugly, I'm so _______, I'm so___________." (you get the point, we all get those days) I am the reason that the flower companies will stay in buisness. Why don't guys seem to understand that romance is not dead. Or if it is give it a little mouth to mouth.MEN BUY YOUR WOMEN FLOWERS!

On a brighter note, solemn guy spoke to me! He actually only asked "What are we doing?" But that is a vast improvement. Four words. He spoke to me. This cute guy Eric in my acting class read my shirt and replied with a grin, "Hi, my name is spice."
