I remember hating those sort of school events. I either got none, or got one or two from friends. Not nice for the old self-esteem, you know?

Hee. Not telling.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It's sucky. I'm pretty divorced from all the drama, with my all-boy classes.

Heh. I have done flowers and dinner once....when a friend had to go to class and had me take her girlfriend out instead. It was actually quite fun--all the fun, none of the drama (they were both good friends of mine...and are now married with a baby!)

I think last year was the only time I've ever been dating someone on Valentine's Day. And I was in Texas, while she was in New Mexico. Or somesuch.

Happy Birthday Kristin! And Maria!

I was dating someone on VD once. There were 2 issues -- he didn't believe in VD, and he was in Pakistan at the time.

Once a friend of mine had planned to make a nice VD meal for her boyfriend but they broke up right before VD so she made the meal for the two of us. It was goooooood (Cornish game hens, if I recall correctly). In yo face, Mr. Man!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh.

Once a friend of mine had her boyfriend break up with her the day after VD. She was all mad that he waited until then.

Is there any good time to break up with someone in the vicinity of VD?

No no Sox, I just stepped away to get some stuff done. I need to henna my hair today so I was prepping for the mess.

can you tell me what "direct goal-setting support stuff" is? I'm interested, just want to make sure I understand.

Sure. So, we each have goals, right? For instance, I want to run my business better, and make more money with less effort. These are pretty universal goals in the world of entrepreneurs but they really mean different things to each of us. 'Direct goal-setting support stuff' involves brainstorming plans, getting feedback, being held accountable for commitments, suggestions for course correction and appreciation of successes.

These goals can be in the realm of business, but they can also be about inter-intrapersonal or spiritual things.

It's a little bit more than just having a support system because concrete ideas, referrals and resources are shared.

I think it was here that I recently saw the link for 'jelly', where people get together in someone's house with their laptops and work together...recreating the supportive office environment.

Doing a mastermind group is a bit more rigorous because the expectations you set for yourself are supported by the group and you are held accountable for your decisions regarding them.

This is one of my greatest areas of need. My life is a cautionary tale around being careful of what you ask for. I'm plenty free...which was my original goal in going solopreneur....but I should have been more specific and added in the "What I meant to say was HAPPY & PROSPEROUS bit"

Often, Mastermind groups are too spendy for my participation (but I want to move to the point where I CAN afford them) so my best defense is to start one! Here is a link to some start up suggestions for background.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh. I was thinking of the board game with the little colored pegs.

Not just you...

Valentine's Day is also Dylan's 8-month-day. I hope to celebrate with sleep. t /Baby likes carrots*

Ann, that's a ferret.

There were 2 issues -- he didn't believe in VD, and he was in Pakistan at the time.

He definitely gets slack for the latter.

We're at the point of "Do You Love Me" from Fiddler on the Roof. After this long, the little everyday things mean more than any gesture on a specific date on the calendar. We did go somewhere nice for dinner last weekend, but that was as much to celebrate Teddy being out of the crate as it was for Valentine's.
