Happy Valentine

It’s that day again. The day where you know whether someone cares about you or not. I hate Valentine’s day in so many ways really. Its commercial crap and the shops are selling ridicules gifts and have there’s plenty of advertising on the TV and radio about how to surprise your one true love.

Ok, I don’t just hate it. Not this year at least when I have a boyfriend and an admirer who is very much in love with me. I wonder if he’ll give me anything today. KS has already given me a gift set with shower gel and body butter which smells wicked. I bought a His and Hers thing of DG light blue perfume, a nice mug which says “To my soul mate” and a little bit more that I can’t remember right now plus a little bag of champagne truffle hearts. I know he’s bought me some more stuff. Unfortunately he’s in Somerset now and I won’t see him before Monday which is when J and I and J’s two sisters are going up there for a few days. I really miss him today though and would have loved to go out for a meal with him. It’s the first Valentine I have a relationship. Ok, I had one last year, but it was kind of over by Valentine. The bloody guy was with me for 9 months, but only wanted to be for about 3 of them. He just couldn’t be bothered to tell me. Nice isn’t it? The Valentine before, I went for a date with a Canadian guy, not the sexy M, who plainly was very interested in me. He himself was a bore and kept talking about abused guide dogs and how much he hated his council flat during the entire dinner. Him having brilliant eye sight like yours truly, could not see me poring more wine into my glass more often than I should have, but hey, it was a Chianti and I love Chianti and I was bored and felt uncomfortable.. He didn’t drink because he was on antidepressants plus some other kind of medication, but he didn’t have the balls to tell me that there and then, which explains why he barely touched his wine. It was an awkward night, but at least I got a free three course meal and taxi home.

What about you guys? Tell me about some of your Valentine’s experiences? Have you ever been dumped by your boyfriend on Valentine, his mum doing it for him? Have you fled from a boring date? Give me your funny stories. And sweet once too. Did you ever meet your first true love on Valentine’s day or made him/her see that you were the one and only worth loving?

So, since I’m not dating tonight, I’m gonna watch all the couples that do. I’m gonna work. And since the restaurant I work at is all about dining in the dark, I have been told by the other waiters that there will be couples attempting to have a wee quick nookie under the table. Not quite sure how to handle that, but it will be exciting! Working there though is great fun. I’ve already been hit on by some business men and an Australian girl. My colleagues are mostly nice, except some of them, or shall I say one, is not really a good teacher. He’s worked in catering all his life, and knows everything about serving so when he was training with me, he didn’t let me do anything which is why I went of and joined my friend C who I already know who let me serve a whole table.

Anyway, enjoy your Valentine, and for those of you who don’t have a date, a movie and some self-loving can be great as well! Maybe cook something nice for yourself, light some candles and put on a romantic CD. Maybe open that bottle of expensive wine you’ve had in the back corner of your cupboard for ages! Treat yourselves and love yourselves!

Valentine hugs to everyone from Angel xxxx
