I'm alone at 40 and probably will be forever. But I don't care anymore, I'm accepting the single life, and don't let these stupid holidays bother me.

I was with my ex for 5 years and he never acknowledged Valentines or Sweetest Day because they were "stupid". Only one time, early on in our relationship, he sent me flowers at work. I was shocked at how sweet and thoughtful it was! Then the next day he told me that while I was sleeping, he snuck into my purse, took my credit card, and ordered the flowers. He said he figured I'd probably never notice it on the credit card bill when it arrived. What a romantic, huh? Freakin loser... I'm so glad he's gone!

Tonight I'm gonna snuggle on the couch with my doggies and eat candy in my sweatpants. They are the only true loves of my life. Tomorrow it will all be over with!
