As a little girl I couldn't wait for Valentine's Day. It meant chocolate and cards and candy. I got to wear pink, red and white and look extra pretty for a day. We got to open our cards and candy in class and have a party. It was just plain awesome. As I grew up a bit it got less special. It turned into a day dedicated to having a boyfriend and dates. That is when I started hating Valentine's Day. I can't remember having a single date, a single boyfriend or in general having a good holiday from the time I was in middle school to the time I graduated high school. Needless to say I was lonely. Of course I had my friends and family but I (like other girls that age) wanted a boyfriend.
When I went into college I ended up with a boyfriend for Valentines day. The problem was he was across the country in basic training. I, being the dutiful girlfriend, made him a care package of lots of candy, fresh made cookies, and, of course, a card written with a lovely message. Keep in mind that we had talked about the possibilities of us getting married eventually. He was a good man but not too long later I got a breakup text... Yeah... a text..
The next year my Valentine was my fiance (now ex husband). I cooked a nice meal for him, including dessert and I got nothing.... It was the same way for the next 4 years. The last Valentines Day I had with him, we ended up going out the day after and I had to fight for his attention because he decided to flirt with his "friend" while we were on our date.
Last year I was dealing with a divorce. I've never had a good Valentines Day.
HOWEVER, I believe that I could when I find the right man though I don't want him to just be romantic and thoughtful on Valentines Day. I think that romance and showing that you care about someone should be a daily thing. Love should be an every day thing. Not just when it suits you.

JCPenny Rant
Today I had started a post about why I bathe my cat and the adventures of such... HOWEVER, I have a more pressing issue to write about...JCPenny's blatant hatred of overweight people! Yes you read that right. I'm saying it and by doing so I may be risking my job. Let me clarify...
The first time I suspected this was when I went in, as a customer, to by work clothes... I couldn't find one pair of slacks in my size. Not one... Though this is a common thing in other stores what shocked me is that they had jeans in my size... They had work out clothes and shirts but no professional clothes... I shrugged it off and ended up going to Walmart to get some slacks of less quality.
The second time I went bra shopping. Not only did all the associates ignore me but they literally huffed when I asked them to help me find my size. They showed me the most ugly bras that I have ever seen. When I showed her things that were more my style she told me that they didn't carry my bra size in normal styles... WHAT?!?! I ended up getting 2 bras on my own because of the rudeness.
The final straw was tonight. My mom has been wanting a watch so we went to JCPenny to find something for her because she has been working hard and overall deserves one. We were looking for a while and I was thinking of getting one as well so it took a bit of extra time. The associate helped my mom at first but because of my mom's larger wrists she couldn't fit ONE of the watches. A while I found one I was thinking of getting so I called my parents over to get their opinion. This lady came over and told my mom "Those may not fit your wrist they are made in small sizes." Considering these watches were NOT children's watches there was no reason for her to say it. OH and my mom was looking at a watch FOR ME!!! My dad ended up calling the manager and it didn't seem like much was done. Mom ended up getting one of those "small size" watches and it fits perfectly.
I hate working for a company that treats their customers with such distaste. If you ask me they can learn something about customer service.
