Ohhhh I suppose you celebrate that Other Holiday!
Fine! I feel sorry for you so I will clue you in!
"Legend says St. Valentine was a priest in 3rd century Rome around the time of Emperor Claudius II. When Claudius decided that unmarried men make more willing soldiers, he soon made it illegal for young men to marry. Claudius sent a decree canceling all engagements and marriages of military-aged men. Valentine knew that no emperor could stop love, and continued marrying these young men to their loved ones in secret. Legend said Valentine was discovered and sent to prison. Some legends say he fell in love with the jailer’s daughter, and before he died sent her a letter declaring his love, signed “From Your Valentine”.
Okay so Mr. Saint V gets all the glory... but some of us think Claudius was on to something so we celebrate~~~~~~
S.A.D. == Singles Awareness Day
It happens every year on February 14th! Now, I know it isn't the 14th quite yet, but that day is another special day for me and so I will have a different post that day for you!
For now, I will list some of the things I will be celebrating on S.A.D. 2009:
I will be hogging the remote and watching whatever I want, whenever I want to!
I will be sleeping on BOTH SIDES OF THE BED!
I will not find someone else's dirty undergarments on my bedroom floor!
I will have control of the thermostat!
I never worry about the toilet seat being up!
I will eat chick food! Including food with lots of onions and garlic!!
I will not see the trash can overflowing for days at a time nor will I have to give adoration and applause if someone else FINALLY dumps it!
I will look at both the closets in my room and be happy for all that unshared space!
I will see as many chick flicks as I want!
I will look at my bank statement and not find any unaccounted for charges that someone else forgot to write down!
I will have as many cats as I want!
Don't be jealous!!!!
