Day 8 and 9 of RSL

Day 8

Valenines day rambling....

Who needs valentines day when you are in a relationship like the one I'm in?
I am very thankful for how much love is in Scott and I's relationship. Its been almost 7 years. And our love just grows stronger.
Both of us more or less see valentines day as a way for a business to make a couple extra bucks after Christmas.
A day of the year shouldn't be the only excuse to be romantic...romance should happen way more often in a relationship.

But Valentines DOES remind me that I am not very romantic towards Scott on regular basis, and (normally) vise versa. But thats just it, it works both ways, right? Why should I expect romance from him if I'm not romantic back? This is totally understandable to me especially for a couple that has been together this long.

Its like we can't be bothered, but at the same time we WANT to be romantic,and valentines day reminds you to try, and its frustrating because its like not knowing how to go about it, and not wanting it to be forced..that and we don't want to be sucked in by what that day of the year has become.
I don't know.
But Valentines day confuses me and makes me feel lame and its all the commercialism's fault placing value on falsely important things.


Does this make sense to people?? Or was that really just a complete nonsense rambling? lol

So BLAH valentines...especially when its on a sunday! Scott and I will be going out to dinner and to see WolfMan tomorrow night, I'm pretty excited! That will be our "valentines" together really :) <3

All and all, there was not much self loving going on valentines, (not really any self hate either, just a neutral contemplative day) except for some well deserved relaxation before a day filled with homework.


Day 9

I decided today that I will start exercises regularly as soon as I get comfortable with my braces on (they are being put on this thursday, stay positive Kiwi!!!)
So this should give me enough time to come up with a good exercise plan. Its not like I have to lose weight, but I do need to tone up a bit and thin out my upper arms. Any suggestions? I have a few dvd's I'm planning on trying out, but I need to do up a schedule I can stick with.

Got lots of work done today at school. <3 also started reading Gala's list of 100 Ways You Can Start Loving Yourself Right Now.
Going to go finish that up and then get to doing a bit more homework!
