single shmoop

I slept surprisingly well last night and woke up before my alarm went off this morning. So, I decided to get up and straighten my hair. Now I'm all ready and have a bit of time to kill.

I think I've found a decent formula for styling my hair curly. It has yet to pass the Chris test, though.
Btw, my skin is still driving me nuts.

Getting myself ready for the barrage of both shmoop and single awareness that I will surely meet throughout the day from every angle.

Remember when Valentine's day was fun? In school it was like a holiday and everyone decorated boxes and handed out candy & cards. For many years now it just gets on my nerves- single or not.

If you're attached, it's stressful. So many times I've stressed over a gift for whoever I'm dating, and I always got some overly thought-out, cheesy one in return. It just felt so forced.

If you're single, it sucks watching everyone bust out the super shmoop.

These days, since I feel both single and attached, it sucks either way.

I'm glad Chris and I don't celebrate it. In 7 years we've happily had no expectations, no stress, and no gifts. It's one less thing I have to worry about. Then, we go get some half-price candy the next day and we're both happy.

Valentine's day also reminds me of my mom because her birthday is in 3 days. Crap, her birthday is in 3 days. I forgot. Thank goodness for my reminder. ;o)

Whether you're rocking the single angle or the shmoop angle, go have yourself a decent day.
