'Happy Valentine's Day,' sincerely said no recently divorced person ever.
Today is a snow day in New England. The storm that shut down the south has moved in. The kids and I are huddled down at home, baking treats and cuddling and playing on electronics. Yeah, mostly the latter.
Instagram is my weakness. I have sworn off Facebook, can't really get into Twitter but I could sit and look at Instagram all day...and probably will. However, today is a day where there's bound to be a twinge or two in my heart when I see all the happy photos posted.
'Look at the rose my Mr Mister got me!'
'Check out the heart necklace engraved with 'eternal love' that I found on my pillow today!' <gag>
I wish there was a way to filter out nausea-inducing photos. I'm only interested in pretty houses and recipes mingled with cute dog photos, thank you very much. Luckily my true love seems to sense when I need some loving and he's glad to oblige.
Happy Fucking Made Up Holiday, y'all!
oh my gosh he looks almost like he is not real like a stuffed dog LOL so FLUFFY!!!
ReplyDeleteSo FLUFFY!! Isn't that from a tv show or movie? I've saying that in my head in a particular voice. LOL. Thanks for reading and writing!
DeleteLove the dog!! And the slipper-boots and snow days!!! We hardly ever get them in the Colorado mountains.
ReplyDeleteEven though I have only been divorced for 9 months (8 days, 11 hours and about 8 minutes...Ha!), this is the first V-day since he left almost 2 and 1/2 yrs ago that is not so bad. Almost a relief that I didn't have to come up with some amazing, Pinterest-inspired declaration of love for my cheating sack of shit! I don't feel too badly for myself (although I haven't seen too many "Honey, I love you"s on Facebook, yet.) I would love to meet someone new, a friend and companion to talk to and do things with. But, my life is pretty full right now with my kids. When I really think about it, I am not actually ready to give up time and energy for a new relationship. I think having that realization, knowing that being "alone" today is (in part) my choice, makes it not so bad. I NEVER thought I would say this but "time does tend to heal your wounds", or at least living with the wounds is a little easier. Happy FMUH right back at ya!
LMAO! 'Pinterest inspired declaration of love'. OMG, I'm dying over here. I wish Colorado was where I lived. I need to get together with you for some Amaretto Sours. You are HILARIOUS.
DeleteI'm totally with you about not being ready to give up time and energy for a new relationship. Nope, not interested at this point.
You and I think eerily alike. My latest posting talks about Pinterest and Time healing all wounds... Maybe I read your comment when you first wrote it and I was echoing it? I dunno, I'm a little scattered lately. Too much to do, too little time!
It's a small world isn't it?! Thanks for reading and writing.... (And now that cursed song "It's a small world after all" is going to be playing in my mind over and over... MAKE IT STOP!!!
