I know "it's only a day" and every year I tell myself I'm not going to care that the only boy in my life still pees in his pull-up at night, but there is just something about Valentine's Day that makes me feel at one with Bridget Jones.
"This Year's Resolutions: Stop smoking. Stop drinking. Find inner poise. Go to the gym three times a week. Don't flirt with the boss. Reduce thighs. Learn to love thighs. Forget about thighs. Stop making lists."

Although I've contemplated a bath with an electrical appliance to ease the pain, drowning my sorrows in a marathon of chick flicks is a much safer and less drastic alternative. I'm totally stealing this idea from my doppelganger Lauren Conrad, but here are my top five favorite chick flicks of all time.
I am right there with you ...ever since joining the singlee club last year, I loathe this holiday...
ReplyDeleteHey now, this will be my 4th Valentine's Day with the same guy (who is now my husband) and he's never done any of those things for me for Valentine's Day! (I'm hoping this year will be different...) So I'm with you to some extent! haha
ReplyDeletethanks for reminding me i'm a sad, sad girl that has nothing better to do on v-day than watch movies and cry.
ReplyDeleteOh I love ALL of these movies! :) And I eye dagger stab all the women in my office who get flowers too - and I'm married. Jake doesn't like sending flowers to work. He thinks it's pointless. Stupid boy. HAHA
ReplyDelete2 of my most favorite movies are on here!!! Father of the bride, and pretty woman!
ReplyDeleteI may not be single, but I watch all of the above movies on the reg!!! I sing the Father of the Bride song to Kendol all the time.
ReplyDeleteEv'rry pah-ty has a poopa, that's why we invited you... Kendol Collins..
Can I join in on this marathon of my favorite movies, as well??
i love all those movies too!
ReplyDeleteand even though i am not single i would love to watch all those chick flicks with you! ♥
Man, who knows what I'll do. Come home, workout, chill with my dogs and maybe watch some chick flicks......lol "tricks in the office"
ReplyDeleteA few of my friends and I have done Anti-Valentines Day. Just go out to the most not romantic restaurant/pub/bar you can and enjoy that you don't have to be dressed up and worrying about making the day perfect!! We did Hooter's one year and it was a blast! Enjoy the day being single...just like every other day we live the single life!
ReplyDeleteUghhhhhhhhh is Valentine's Day OVER YET?? This will probably be the worst one yet for obvious reasons. I've totally been boycotting it this year. Screw all the pink and red and candy hearts. Hahaha can you tell I'm bitter? :)
ReplyDeleteLove all of those movies. Typical chick flick classics!
ReplyDeleteaaaaand cue waterworks if I come near any of these movies right now. I want to watch anything BUT chick flicks this year....but I will totally join you in cursing those bitches in your head :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely, without a doubt, hate this holiday!! Being single on Valentine's Day is the worst. Normally I hit the gym and go home and drown my sorrows in a bottle of wine. This year I'm getting together with some single friends for Chinese take-out and a girly movie.
ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOVED this post!
ReplyDeleteSingle ladies need to have a 'Single Lady, Valentine' Pure Romance party! :)
Just Sayn!
I am with you!! Sign me up for the Marathon!
ReplyDeleteAhem.. I have a fiance and I DO NOT get flowers or chocolates delivered to the office. This will be our 3rd Valentine's Day together and we do not do anything. No cards, no flowers, no dinner, no nothing. So THERE! LOL! =p
ReplyDeleteEither way, love your list, it's probably terrible that I have never seen ANY of those movies..
My apologies, I forgot to add that I should probably be the one mixing appliances and large bodies of water! ;)
ReplyDeletenever seen ps I love you nor fried green tomatoes BUT pretty woman is obviously a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteme loves you.
After being dumped on Vday several years ago....I just don't know if I will ever enjoy this "holiday" again! I tend to drown my sorrows with lots of junk food and chick flicks will be the perfect addition!!
ReplyDeleteI have been with the BF for almost 6 years, and I can honestly tell you that I HATE Valentine's Day. It makes me want to barf and I prefer that the BF treat me like a little princess everyday.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes he knows this. HAHA
sappy chick flicks are the best. now i want to watch all these movies haha but alas, i will be sitting behind my desk at work until 10pm on Valentine's Day. LAME!!
ReplyDeletelove.amy

ReplyDeletei'm not a single lady, but i still drown my sorrows in these movies and some ben and jerry's every once in a while. maybe those 2 men will be all you need this valentine's day :)

ReplyDeleteSO much more fun! <3

ReplyDeletein the mean time, SCREW VALENTINES DAY-I am waiting for the markdowns on chocolate on Feb 15 th girl! lol
I'm not single, but I absolutely love ALL of these movies :) Good choices!
ReplyDeleteI'd be there if I were in town!
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously, this holiday is dumb.
And um, Aaron didn't send flowers once, so I was that girl, snarling at the pro flowers that everyone else got [at FFA].
And um, I've been replaced. Aaron announced that he's taking Eva to see Sesame Street Live for V-day. Um. Ok.
Hahah! I love that you refer to those women who get flowers at work as "tricks". Sorry I died laughing when I read that!!!! Good picks with these movies! Try not to be too down next week! And please don't take a bath with an appliance that's still plugged into the wall!
ReplyDeleteLove all of the movies!!
ReplyDeleteI hope to ring in my singles awareness day with a bang by sending myself some awesome ass flowers to work, eating a whole box of chocolate & going into a chocolate coma, getting wine wasted and hopefully top it all off by sending some drunken text messages to all of my ex's.
Is that not the norm?
I'm making my friends red velvet whoopee pies, other than that ill be at school alllll day and then work till 3am...no valentines day for me really.
ReplyDeletebut i will join you for some chickfila, to bad the closest one to me is 2 hours :(
I own every single on of these movies, so thanks for the idea to have a "chick flick marathon to down your STILL single" night! Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteFather of the Bride is one of my favorites! Perfect for a single gal valentines day movie watching :)
ReplyDeletesome of my fave movies!!
ReplyDeleteI understand. My best friend and I are going to see The Vow...I can already see myself bawling in the theater with a giant box of chocolate!
ReplyDeleteLOVE The Notebook. That quote makes me all teary-eyed!
ReplyDeleteThese are some of my favorite movies and quotes! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Pretty Woman, The Notebook, and Father of the Bride!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see The Vow with Channing Tatum!! Love him!
Love this post! Father of the Bride is one of my all time favorite movies!! When I was single my BFF and I would give gifts just like we were a couple. Not flowers but one year she gave me some cute PJ's and a CD. We liked VDay even when we were single so we had to exchange gifts! We would even go out to dinner that night. People probably thought we were a couple but oh well!! :-) Although I moved into a new place (while BFF was on a date with her BF) on Vday one year and was by myself that night and the dude working the drive-thru at KFC (because yes I did drown my sorrows in fried chicken) actually said something about be being alone on Valentines. WHAT!! Pretty sure I cried after that but I did eat my KFC! :-)
ReplyDeleteJayme @ Her Late Night Cravings
If it makes you feel better my husband doesn't believe in flowers because "they just die". How romantic right? So everyone else gets things sent to them but not me... So it's not like "You're single, it's cool", it's like "That girl's husband must not love her very much" haha.
ReplyDeleteI mean, at least I don't have to clean the dead flowers out of the vase a few days later?? ;)
UMMMM I be there. probably drowning my sorrows in wine, duh. And probably completely flowerless, despite my office v-day bet. HAHA
ReplyDeletegreat movie choices!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a single lady but me and hte hubby don't celebrate vday so I'll prob be getting take out from buffalo wild wings and watching chick flicks with my little lady :)
