This monday the 14th

           





             I was watching this movie BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY and there's a bit she says "i suddenly realized that unless something changed soon, i was going to live a life where my major relationship was with a bottle of wine..and i'd finally die fat and alone and be found 3 weeks later half eaten by wild dogs." It's a lovely movie, main cast Renee Zellweger and Hugh Grant.

       
            Tomorrow monday the 14th, most women will be having such thoughts..especially single women. It's sad that we wait for holidays and feb the 14th to figure that we need men, or women to be complete. Btw, this sunday the 13th i went to get myself a hot dog from tuskys, thanks to my sis constant praises. At the supermarket they make the hot dogs near the entrance, and guess what, just a few meters from the hotdogs joint, there were shelves of red stuff, valentine stuff, and 100% of the people checking them out were men. Uh huh, i decided to do a 5mins mohammed Ali research. i asked the hotdogs guy to give me a minute to search for atleast a place/shelf with 'gifts for him' crowded by women, but nada. Not even a shelf of cards. Then i thought, maybe women aren't supposed to get men anything this monday the 14th, either that, or the supermarket was against women giving out gifts this monday the 14th. I picked a packet of 250gm corn and grabbed my hotdog on my way out. Btw it tasted bad...the hotdog            

            Anyway, i met with my girlfriends for tea, yes tea and er..this is What i figured, 100% of them will dump their boyfriends If they didnt give them anything. 100% of them expect a call between 0000hrs and 0900hrs. 90% of them will dump their boyfriends If they just called or gave them a card, only. And 75% of them will move to plan B in case the boyfriends didnt hint on anything valentine-ish, yes, they have plan Bs. After the tea i went back to my place thinking, most women will be disappointed this monday the 14th. They've put the bar waaay up there. They expect too much and they'll be disappointed that much. So, i made a sufuria of popcorn, remember the corn, and watched that movie. Then i got a light bulb moment, actually 90% of single women will get some major surprise this monday the 14th..

     I remembered last year, i chuckled..not the best 14th ever but, i wont tell, it was a surprise. Another thought crossed my mind, If He was here, i'd have gotten him a leather wallet, and a bottle of wine, of course the wine is meant for me. And i'd only expect a rose, a box of assorted chocolate and his presence. Then i'd take him to the bedroom and show him What my wishes are between monday the 14th and sunday the 31st December....by cuffing him to the bed and making him wish he never left it, that Would hint What my wish was. ;-)
