Not having seen or heard from my H at all in almost 2 months, and noting that he has not given me a gift in over a year, I didn't bother even considering getting anything for him. Last year he said he "didn't think it was appropriate" for us to celebrate V-day together, and instead he sent OW flowers and spent the weekend with her. So...it's not exactly my favorite holiday right now, and I'm just waiting for it to be over and to see green replace red and white in the stores.
I sorta feel like I'm back in grade school, thinking "nobody loves me--or even likes me--enough to give me a Valentine's card." Hmmm, there's an idea...cupcakes and iced sugar cookies! I think I'm going to do some baking now...!
Peace, Dawn

Okay, well if that is the case, and my tax refund comes in, I am getting myself a tattoo. That will be my Valentine's gift to myself, because this year I love me.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
Lola, I'm snickering at myself after reading your post, because in the last few months, I have actually thought about getting a tattoo, which is a complete and total 180 for me, and probably nobody who knows me in person would believe it! I don't think I will actually follow through with it, but I'm having fun thinking about it!
I like the idea of V-day gifts for oneself!
Peace, Dawn

Dawn: I am a case manager in a law firm, and when I tell people I have five of them, they look at me in complete shock!!! Of course, they are in places that can easily be hidden, and the next one is going to be very large on my side.
Its my gift to me...
(((Hugs))) Lola

Hmmm this gives me an idea for a Vday gift for me.... Parts for my Monte I thought about getting the W something but we never really celebrated it in the past.

Hey who says you can't give a gift for Valentine's...just give it to yourself!

Ok...I got a tatoo last July....love it....it's something I would not have done either but I'm glad I did...and you cant' see mine either...it's hidden except when I put my bikini on....
I do want another and now, well, that's an idea...maybe I will do that for me for Valentines Day!...
And, my H tells me all the time, "We're not celebrating that stuff anymore"....well....I AM! with him or not....LOL!!
