The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI'm taking myself on a date for Valentine's Day.
I really don't have the time or energy for a relationship, but I kind of like the idea of Valentine's Day, so I'm whisking myself away to a department store to by myself a new pair of camo boots and a belt. I fill out a pair of Carhartt jeans pretty well if I do say so myself so a pair of camo boots will look perfect.
Then it's off to Pizza Hut for the all you can eat lunch buffet. I don't eat a lot of junk food, but hey, it's Valentine's Day!
Any other single DUers going to take yourself on a date?

LeftofObama
(4,243 posts)I've read some of your posts and you don't seem to be bad at all.
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)Well I have some areas of improvement but I appreciate the vote of confidence.
Happy Valentine's Day.

LeftofObama
(4,243 posts)Of course I'd never go hunting or shoot anything or anybody, but the boots look cool.
Denninmi
(6,581 posts)With the training sessions I bought for myself.
LeftofObama
(4,243 posts)Did you like it? Is it harder than you thought? Did you get to punch anything?
Denninmi
(6,581 posts)Yes, the guy's gloves and a bag. It was a tough upper body workout. I think it's going to do a lot to improve upper body strength, muscle tone, and hopefully coordination and balance, I have some serious left side issues with that, a lot weaker than my right.
LeftofObama
(4,243 posts)I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts about it. It sounds interesting. I guess I wouldn't mind punching the guy's gloves and a punching bag, but if anyone punched me back I'd go cryin' like a little kid. LOL!

(37,648 posts)when I was married or had a boyfriend. I always thought it was pretty commercial and there wasn't much of a good reason for it (although I was always appreciative of attention or gifts on the day).
I'd prefer spending money at Christmas or Thanksgiving, when I can get a good deal. I sometimes buy myself a Christmas gift.
LeftofObama
(4,243 posts)since I have a lot of issues to deal with it's my little way of telling myself that everything's going to be ok.
I don't really like spending a lot of money, but like you, I prefer spending it at Christmas (actually the day after) because I can get a whole bunch of bargains.

(37,648 posts)I get a thrill when I bag a good one! And it's a double whammy when it was something I needed, anyway. Like I got my new bedroom TV last year around the holidays on a great sale....free shipping, from Best Buy. And it was THE tv I had picked out earlier. Ba-da-bing.

(12,008 posts)I may just buy a bottle of bourbon and drink the whole thing. Perhaps I'll stay home and drink it and cry, or perhaps I'll tuck it into my pocket, taking the occasionally nip, pretending that I haven't been crying when strangers give me weird looks.
Thanks for the "date" idea!!
LeftofObama
(4,243 posts)That's my philosophy. Here, have one of these...

LeftofObama
(4,243 posts)Well, my choices are pretty limited...I didn't want to have to breastfeed pitbulls at Olive Garden, and I was afraid I would run in to that wacky preacher woman at Applebee's so I decided on Pizza Hut.
Maybe I could make naughty designs on my plate with the pizza toppings. It'll certainly give the servers something to think about after I leave.
Maybe I'll take a bubble bath when I get home.

naughty LeftofObama . . . breastfeeding pitbulls at Olive Garden would spoil everyone's dining pleasure.
fyi (perhaps tmi)
valentine's day usually makes me cry
LeftofObama
(4,243 posts)I don't like to see people sad.
I've had way too much sadness in my lifetime that's why I treat myself from time to time.
