I enjoyed Doris's little Valentine's Day reflection yesterday - I'm in a similar position in that this is the first VD ever that I've actually been going out with someone on the day itself. Sadly I'm a bit less fluffy than Doris (you might want to have a bucket ready just in case though) - I totally forgot about it until the night of the 13th, so was too late to send HD a card or anything, so made up a silly (and probably slightly rude) poem in bed which I planned to email in the morning, but I'd forgotten it by the time I woke up so he rather missed out (well, to the extent you could consider not being on the receiving end of my crap doggerel "missing out"). I was almost rather hoping he'd forgotten too, so I could feel less guilty, but I did receive a very silly card which made me laugh. In my defence (bucket alert), as every day is lurve day in my world, thinking about it just for one particular day didn't actually register as it wasn't going to be any different from usual.
Anyway (hooray) next VD we'll be at the same end of the country (even in the same flat!) so hopefully it will be a bit less disastrous.
It's interesting though, every VD for the last forever it's been a bit of an issue as it was yet another reminder (as if I needed one) that not only was I on the shelf, but I was getting dustier by the year. And then the first year that that's not the case, and I didn't give it a thought.
In case anyone thinks I'm being smug, I really hope I'm not, but just in case you can take comfort from the fact that instead of being schmoozy and romantic, I went to bed at 7pm with a migraine, woke up at 11.30 and have been wide awake ever since. I thought I'd go online as listening to the radio hadn't sent me to sleep like it usually does. This hasn't helped either - I'm bouncing off the walls. I'll be ready to sleep around about the time it's time to go to work. Great.
