Hi Jen!
I know how you feel!!! With my husband gone a year on Feb 22., this Valtine’s day seemd doomed! But God/Spirit put 2 friends on my path that filled my V day with new memories.

I haven’t found a companion yet, but one will come. Hang in there. All good things do take time.

I am starting up my blog and writing about all the wonderful and crazy things that have happened. I hope you will stop back over.

I will keep you in my prayers!!!!

Someone is out there for you. Until then stock up on batteries and invest in a good massaging shower head

Wow, I remember that Love Actually scene. My favorite story would be the President and the... was that the secretary? Anyway, I love their story the best! Haven't watched Nights in Rodanthe but you should seriously PS I Love you. Another tear jerker.

Hahaha, true, what you said about dating. It's all about bullshit and pretending. What's better is getting to know each other first as friends before going to the next level. I hate having to wear something fancy and act very demure just to impress the guy and yeah, that IS bullshit too LOL. I don't fake now, though!

Much Love,

PS Really enjoyed your blog!

I was dancing with my wife in the kitchen when someone farted, and we started laughing.

I didn’t meet my wife until I was 34, and after I endured horrific heartbreak. I feel your pain, and sympathize with you.

I would like to think that if something happened to the hubs I'd be perfectly okay being alone.

I'm sure that's easier said than done. But I would be much more available for my Mommy Night Outs!

I love em! hee hee The hubs stays home with the kidlets while I go out and have fun, fun, fun!

Works for me!

Happy V-day! I hope you are at least enjoying those movies.

I think I will crawl into a hole if something happens to Hubby. I don’t think I would have the nerve to date.

I like your comment about passing gas. That is so true!

Sometimes I think it’s better to be by yourself on VDay…there’s much less disappointment that way!

I hope you have a good one!!

Your post makes perfect sense to me and I actually found love when I least expecting it, right before I turned 50, but I hope you don’t have to wait that long. Dating does suck and I’ve been waiting 6 years for Bill to change, but he’s still the same. I’ve never been bothered by Valentine’s Day with or without anyone in my life it’s always been just another day, but I hope there will be some happiness for you today.

It becomes true love when you know you can rip one with no apologies.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

I cannot imagine the dating field these days–it seems more stressful than anything. Does anyone tell the truth anymore? It just seems like games and silliness. My mom used to say “you’ll find someone when your not looking”. I wonder if there is truth to that?

Love Actually is one of my very favorite movies because, like you, it makes me cry happy tears. I cry when Emma Thompson gets the CD for Christmas and goes to be alone in her room. I cry for the couple who can’t seem to get together. I cry with all the sweetness at the end. It’s just a feel good movie.

I wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day. I don’t think today is just for lovers–it is about loving in general–kids, parents, pets, friends, etc. Give them all a big squeeze!
