Love is in the air...or NOT??? Happy Valentine's Day, anyway!!!!

[Rain Man]

Well, while I have no special one in my life nor any plans to "celebrate", I have to say that my future loved one is definately on her way.

There is a female friend of mine that is a good sweet single Christian woman. And while there is no romance involved between us, I have had an urge to just be a blessing to her; to help her out in any way possible, to sacrifice of myself where possible.

And today I realized: God is having me do this b/c I am in training and practicing to be the husband that He destined me to be. (Eph. 5:25: Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church). I have gone ABCD (Above and Beyond the Call of Duty) for her but I know it's not b/c she is using me. If that was true, my spirit would be drained instead of flowing with joy. Whether or not she will be my future mate isn't the point in all this. The point is that I am expressing what God intended for humans to give to their fellow man and future mate(s): true agape love.

So today isn't supposed to be about flowers and candy (though there's nothing wrong with that)--it's supposed to be about sacrifice and being a blessing to the one(s) that you love. BTW, I am wearing red and white today, but that is only a coincidence with today being V-Day, I kid you not.

Anyway, have a happy Valentine's Day to all of you, wherever you are.

Okay did Iiiiiiii say I didn't like Valentinte's Day because clearly I was just mad or something, lol.

I came home today to find a huge bouquet that a lovely and HIGHLY INTELLIGENT man sent me, sitting on my table! It had the nicest note and I have to say that it MADE my day!

In other Valentine news: I bought my Mother a chocolate covered cheesecake from JUNIOR'S (THE ONLY PLACE TO BUY CHEESECAKE IN NYC) and she bought me Eucerin lotion, lol.

She knows me so well. Thank God she didn't buy me chocolate! The lotion I can use, the chocolate I'd have ended up either eating and then feeling bad about, or throwing away and then feeling guilty about.

I have been talking to this guy and we stopped talking for a week.......because he would never let me get my way Anyway he caught an attitude and stopped talking to me. One of my friends told me that they saw him buying all these stuffed animals and gifts. So I was like man its 10:30 p.m so I know it wasn't for me. So when I went over to his room to investigate, he was planning a candle light dinner with chicken pot pies and curly fries....and my gifts! I regret being so hot tempered all the time.
