Roses are red... Violets are blue

Feb 14. Valentine's Day. The day that every single person hates and every couple loves. So I find myself in a funny spot. I'm in a relationship (the best one there is), but I was alone on V-Day... Of course, Tommy and I celebrated last weekend when I was in New Hampshire. We exchanged gifts, went out to a nice Italian dinner, drank a bottle of red wine, had some delicious dark chocolate mousse with Chambord soaked raspberries, slow danced in the living room to our songs... the usual romantic stuff, that Tommy is amazing at putting together. But today, the actual Valentine's Day I was by myself.

Even though I was without my valentine,  I had an AMAZING day. Let me chronicle it for you!

• 9:00am
• Wake up after a pretty good night of sleep
• 9:15am
• Check weather.com and see that it is going to be in the 50's and sunny today
• 9:30am
• Feeling super motivated and head to the gym
• 9:45am
• Arrive at gym and see indoor track is basically deserted... Perfect! Ran 2.5 miles (That's a lot for me)
• 10:30am
• Get in the shower and actually have the time to shave my legs!

• 12:45pm
• Head to Carrier Library to print paper, am given free candy on the Commons

• Kinda felt like people thought we were gfs... But that's okay!
• 8:15pm
• Arrive back at dorm!

So pretty much one of the best nonTommy days I've had in a while. Obviously any day with Tommy would be a kajillion times better, but whatevs! So for all you lonely hearts, you can have a wonderful Valentine's Day without a boyfriend or girlfriend!
