Ghosts of Valentine’s Days Past

I don’t have a whole lot of really great Valentine’s Day memories.  My long stint of singleness hasn’t helped that scenario either.  But I loathe it a little less every year, and this year I really don’t loathe it at all.  I think I have some sick satisfaction in the fact that V.D. falls on a Monday this year.  It is therefore, tainted!  It can’t be perfectly happy and lovely because... IT’S MONDAY!  Though I personally don’t hold any permanent/long standing ill will against Mondays, I know most people do.  And... that is enough to make me not feel quite so bad about the fact that I’ll spend my Valentine’s Evening on the couch with Beaux... eating leftovers and Girl Scout cookies.
