"I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love
or I had smallpox!" - Woody Allen
I see the signs - pink and red M&Ms; crowds at Victoria’s Secret; teddy
bears wearing “I wuv you;” heart shaped … EVERYTHING!
Some historians
believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in mid-February to mark the
anniversary of St. Valentine's martyrdom. Love and martyrdom, huh?
Seems about right based on the lyrics in our most popular love songs.
Consider When a Man Loves a Woman. Tossing friends aside, destitution and not having enough sense to
come in out of the rain – all in the name of love. I’d like to suggest that we
rename it, When a Man Becomes So Neurotically
Obsessed that He Loses all Respectability by Acting Like a
Buffoon.
Then there’s Every Breath You Take – the ramblings of
a stalker / peeper. I’d call that one Creepy Psycho Ex-boyfriend Gone Completely Berzerk. Is this really our idea of love? God, I hope not.
Well, for those of you
in less psychotic relationships - you know, the kind, caring and egalitarian ones, we wish you Happy Valentines
Day. For the rest of us … well, there’s vodka. And our girlfriends.
But don’t sit home
alone of Valentines Day. Invite your girlfriends over for a board game night.
Two really fun games made especially for girlfriends are Girlfriends Intuition (click HERE for description) and What’s a Dame to Do?
(click HERE for description). Or create your own games like Name That Ex or The Anti-Valentines Scavenger Hunt. Serve lots of chocolate and screw the calories for one night!
Now give us some of YOUR ideas!
