Hey Jud,
OK, so yesterday was Val Day, and today is D-Day, Disappointment Day.  My bf didn't get me chocolates, or even a card.  We just watched the basketball shootout last night and that was all. It is time for a new bf?

I'm sorry that today this is D-Day for you.  It's no fun, and probably you are one angry soul. You didn't get what you wanted, and that feels bad.

On the other hand, today could be the day after Val Day, and it's not to late to make it special.  You could begin the morning in a different way, and will certainly have a different result.  Remember Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day"?  He had to live the day over and over until he got it right.

Well today is your opportunity.
Think hard about how you would like to spend it.
And then just make it happen.
Make a handwritten Valentin's Day card for your bf, and then give him a list of the things you could do together that would be fun-- breakfast in bed for you both, making it together, or going our getting bagels or egg sandwiches and coming back and having g them in bed.  Talking a walk, going to visit three different stores for chocolate, or going to the grocery stories and buying different chocolate hearts and having a taste test.  Going to a flower store and seeing which are your favorite flowers. In this economy, you don't have to buy flowers, but you can visit them, and choose your favorite without buying them. What would make you feel special? You want jewelry?  Go to a jewelry store and do the same thing.  Pick out the necklace or bracelets you like, admire them, and then leave. The point is not to spend a lot of money, rather to create a Valentine adventure for both of you. Come home and make Val Day Cookies together, or make a heart shaped cake by baking the cake in one round and one square pan, then cut the round one in half, and place them on the two edges of the square cake to make a heart. Or make a regular cake and draw a heart and place it on it!

Determine what YOU can do that's special?  Think about it, make a list of good possibilities, give your bf choices and have fun with your adventure. The point is not to moan about yesterday, but to use today to create the  best Val Day or regular day ever, and to have fun in the process.

Go get 'em, Cupid!
Jud
