I am single.
As such, I did not have Valentine's Day plans with anyone so I decided to make them with myself.
I requested the day off work and slept in (not much, but enough to feel a difference). I debated what to wear, but ultimately decided on an all-floral outfit with floral jewelry because if no one is giving you flowers, become the flowers. Then it was off to walk Hoban to Stan's where I got a heart-shaped donut and Hoban got a free pup cup (seriously, Stan's is the best). Then it was time to light some red and pink candles, lounge in bed, and catch up on The Bachelor (it's an okay season so far but boy is the bachelor himself hot).
Next it was time for a manicure where I got my nails painted red. The manicurist was friendly and gave me a hand massage (during which she told me to relax lol). I had already ordered a sushi lunch but the manicure ended earlier than I expected (not a bad thing, mind) so I was off to buy myself flowers (yes, today was partially inspired by the Miley Cyrus song--I love it).
Once I picked up my sushi, I gave Hoban another quick walk to A Paw Place to get him a Valentine's Day cookie. I enjoyed my sushi while continuing to watch The Bachelor (I had four episodes to catch up on and each is 1.5 hours or so without commercials). Then I opened some mail I'd been meaning to and found lovely letters and cards from friends (as well as spam, but what can you do?). I need to write a letter back to one of my abroad pen pals, but I will get on that soon.
As I continued to watch The Bachelor, I also began to plan my birthday party (my birthday is in less than a month if you can believe it--I hardly can). I think I have decided which murder mystery kit to go with, though I may need to buy an expansion pack. A nap was of course called for as I find it a lovely way to enhance a day.
Then, I pre-ordered my dinner of a fancy pizza and my favorite appetizer from the pizza place down the street from me. I took Hoban for another quick walk and then picked up my pizza. Now, I am enjoying that delicious food as well as a glass of pink Moscato (it's Valentine's Day so it had to be pink). Later, I plan to take a bath with some new bath bombs I just received.
I've finally caught up on The Bachelor (though admittedly I missed some of an episode as I dozed off which is not a reflection on the show, just a reflection on my desire to nap), so now I'm watching The Real Housewives of Potomac as it's been my current rewatch show (I'm almost caught up on it too so soon I'll need a new show to binge watch).
Tonight, I'll likely also try to catch up with some friends, do my Duolingo in Irish, use my rose-scented lotion, and luxuriate with an early bedtime.
Remember, you can romance yourself any day you please. I just chose to have Valentine's Day be that day.
