I Am Redhotcrazy Wearing Heart On Sleeve Hear Me

I am feeling empowered by my own will and strength of late...I'm finding it's okay being on my own. I don't "need" someone to come home to and eat dinner with, to sleep in a bed with me, to pester me about where I'm going and what I'm doing every second of the day...I'm okay with just being an individual.
Today was a fine day. I woke up, showered, went shopping with a friend who needed new clothes and wanted the company, came home took a nap, met up with another friend at a bookstore to discuss a trip we're taking together, came back home made myself dinner, relaxed for a while, then went to the gym, and home again.

I'm content with a day like this---Chatting in my friend's car about our lives, helping her pick out clothes and finding a nice blouse on the clearance rack for myself ($3.85 after tax!).....laptop on coffee table in café looking up stuff for a road trip with a friend, excitedly talking about the details....not going to go into details about what I "made" for dinner, because let's face it- I'm no cook....jamming to music on my ipod while working out on the elliptical...then jamming to more music on the drive back home.....

And today was even Valentine's Day. I didn't bl<x>ink twice---the first valentine's day in the last 8 years that I wasn't "attached", and I didn't sweat it....no tears for this girl. I smiled at the idea that maybe someday I'll have another "valentine" and for now, I'll just be my own valentine ;)
