I no longer remember what that was, but I do remember what I did about it. I made a Valentine card for him with snarky art and snarky words.
We had a good laugh about it. I'm grinning as I write about it. At the time, I thought there should be a bad attitude section of greeting cards for such occasions. Shortly after that, a friend sent me one of those internet "floaters" about Dysfunctional Greeting Cards. I laughed like a loon, printed it, and saved it in my humor file. Yes, I keep things like that. You should too because you never know when you might need a good laugh. I wish I knew who had created it so I could thank her or him.
Dysfunctional Valentine Cards
I think a couple of days after Valentine's Day is the perfect time to laugh at those jokes. So here are a few so you can laugh with me. Hopefully, none of you received a card from your sweetheart with these snarky words. After the 3 periods aka dots is what you'd read inside a card—just in case you want to write one some day.
2. I must admit, you brought religion into my life....I never believed in Hell until I met you.
3. As the days go by, I think how lucky I am....That you're not here to ruin it for me.
4. Someday I hope to marry...Someone other than you.
5. When we were together, you said you'd die for me...Now we've broken up, and I think it's time you kept your promise.
6. I'm so miserable without you...It's almost like you're still here.
7. Looking back over the years we've been together, I can't help but wonder...What was I thinking?
Kinder Gentler Laugh
I love to laugh. In fact, that's one reason I like to write romantic comedy and even put some humor into the other books I write.
I spent most of Valentine's Day working on print editions of my books. I'm also getting ready to submit the rest for audio book narration. All of my full-length books have been in Kindle Unlimited since, well, forever. I've stopped the auto-renewal on that feature. As their term in KU expires, I'm publishing them wide—with all the other ebook publishers—so readers can find them everywhere.
The first one to go wide is Scents and Sensuality, a romantic comedy set against the backdrop of a designer perfumery.
It's available in ebook and audio book editions. I'll probably crow from the rooftops when the print editions of Scents and Sensuality and all the others are published.
The working title of this book was always Beauty and the Geek with Beauty being the handsome hunk and the Geek being the heroine Amanda.
Since it's mid-February, the winter is waning—thank goodness. Winter is not my favorite month by any means. The next time we meet, it will be just a week before Spring so hang in there if you're in a part of the country where the weather is really nasty.
In the meantime, read, read, read. That's the best thing to do—next to staying warm. See you in March!
