About a year ago...little less...I had an epiphany.
It was a realization of unfairness. Why should I--just because I am single and content to be so--go without the things that most other women get to enjoy on their anniversary? A special night out, expensive jewelry, a nice dinner or secluded get-a-ways. OK, so I don't have a husband to surprise me with flowers or jewelry but...why couldn't I buy them for myself? (I can't believe it has taken me this long to come to this place...) So anyway, after some thought, I decided that my "mockiversary" would be on March 18 and yesterday was my first.
I kept it light...since I just got a brand new car on Valentine's Day and a brand new phone and a beach vacation President's Day weekend. I took myself out to dinner and a movie and I had a wonderful time. And since I had no idea what movie I was going to see or where I was going to eat until I got there, it was a nice surprise as well.
That is a perfect idea!
