Whew, glad to say that day pass. Hit me harder than I had anticipated, the phone was never quieter and the memories were never louder. Then around 4 I decided that I needed to show some caring for MYSELF, so I picked up the phone and treated myself to a nice take out meal for supper. Ordered my favourite - ribs, mashed potatoes, coleslaw and overindulged on desserts with one piece of caramel pecan cheesecake and a slice of triple chocolate cake and a couple of Perrier waters. Burp. lol. Only had room for the cheesecake so finished the chocolate cake today. Shared the cheesecake with my Himalayan last night, who was grateful (well as grateful as a Himmy can be, lol) and it turned out to be an okay night after all. But, glad it is over regardless. Woke up this morning, sun was shining and I said under my breath 'Ahhhhh, Feb. 15th'. lol. Laterz, everyone. Blueroses. |

blue,
I treated myself to "The International", a great spy thriller about a large bank involved in selling weapons to terrorists, featuring my favorite crush, Naomi Watts, and a bottle of Russian lager to be consumed with a sardine, romaine & carrot salad, for when I got home. I thought about those Valentine's Days of my distant past, when I would take a favorite squeeze to dinner and what ever followed, then thinking about having to get out of my comfortable clothes and into a suit, cleaning the car, hoping my stomach and/or bowels didn't act up, etc. You know, blue, a movie and a beer ain't all that bad!
Happy belated Valentine's Day!

Hmm, This one is a tough one for me too. Husband passed as I have said three years ago from cancer. And me, I have been battling off and on 7 years. I had my parents, two sons, brother and nephew here for pizza. Should of got that glass of red wine. My brother bought me some candy. It was a nice evening. But I kind of glad its over. Sometimes things are a tear jerker. But we get thru them. I hope all is well with everyone and I pray all of us dance someday soon celebrating the cure.
Prayers and Hugs To all

I have no doubt there will be a cure found in the not too distant future. The docs consider mine a cure already, after 18 years with no evidence of disease, so we are well on our way. Glad your V day went well and you had family around. Take care. Blueroses.

Hey Rick, Thanks for the reply to my whining about Feb. 14th, lol. I can't drink because of my heart arythmia which is probably a good thing for me, less temptation to bail out on emotional issues when they come up. But as you did I treated myself as I said and that did help. Funny you should mention the movie cause I nearly did that myself - we have a video store in my apartment building downstairs but for some reason just wasn't up to it so did the tv thang. It was okay. Yup, those memories of V Day gone by came back but what bummed me out was the way my marriage ended and now realizing all the lies, that's what really got me down but I survived yesterday and glad you did too. Take care and blessings, Blueroses.

Maybe I'm used to having no "special someone" in my life. I have to admit that when I look back at the past most of the time I was very dissapointed in my relationships. They were never like what you see in the movies or in books. I spent 8 hours checking out people buying roses, cards, balloons, candy (I work in a store.) I received 2 Valentine's cards: one from my mother, the other from my sister. I can always count on them not to forget me. For dinner I made myself bowtie pasta with broccoli (olive oil, butter, garlic, spices) but kind of wished I had some cream or half and half to made alfredo sauce. Then I watched a movie on T.V. about an air traffic controller called "Pushing Tin." So all in all it wasn't a bad day. I even had a slice of Valentine's cake that I bought from the store for myself and my daughter. I had another slice this morning for breakfast with my coffee. I should mention that I'm not as indulgent as to eat all the frosting. That would be abit too much.

when Angelina Jolie was Billy Bob Thornton's "main squeeze", tattoo, blood-vial, and all. Does that one ever bring me back, Dream! Billy Bob gave all us middle-aged balding men hope, until he messed up, making Angie free to steal Brad away from Jennifer.
And, life goes on.
Happy Presidents' Day!
