ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE!!

I really love Valentine's Day......even if I don't have a man:) I love the colors...I love how beautiful the flowers are on this day....I love that people put thought into gifts for their significant others....I love this day!! Even if I don't have a man......

Now the REASON I hate the day.....the people who take it upon themselves to ruin it....there is a reason why your a$$ is single....and you need to accept that...so in honor of YOU...and people like you...I present the top 5 reasons why your single on Valentines Day.....

5. YOU MESS UP SOMETIMES TOO!!~I know they mess up sometimes.....believe me! I know they make you so mad you want to wring their necks....but you want one?? Right? You know you do...that is why your complaining isn't it? Men, as much as we hate to admit, are correct about certain things, and everything that goes wrong in your universe isn't their fault, so take a step back, evaluate your situation, and make a womanly decision.....whether your in the wrong or not!!

4. SPRUCE IT UP A BIT~We are all very guilty of this....we have to make a run to the supermarket, or to run a "quick" errand, and we don't do ANYTHING to our hair, make-up, or appearance period!! Imma need you to stop and think about it before you do it! Take a quick glance in the mirror....if you even think for a second "DAMN GIRL" or you jump at the reflection....there needs to be a change! I'm not saying throw on a ball gown, but a little lip gloss and mascara goes a long way...and the holey tshirt ain't gone cut it....a cute baby doll tee or even a nice hoodie....huge difference! You never know who your going to meet in the store...ever!!!

3. KNOW THAT CONFIDENCE IS SEXY!~This cannot be stressed enough.....knowing yourself, and knowing that you look, smell, and feel good, and having that show.....the sexiest asset that you can have. Know that you are fabulous.....even if you don't feel like a beauty queen that day...you know your shoes are the ish...so vibe from that! It really doesn't take much to exude confidence, smiling and not looking so damn mean all the time, although slight, can make so much more of a difference...which leads me to my next point....

2. "WHO YOU CALLING A BI***"~ You.

Let's face it....we as black women have a reputation for being loud mouth, neck rollers, with a tendency to hold a grudge...sux to write that, but if I'm lying correct me. We are "known" to go off on a fool if he even thinks about looking at us wrong! We have the tendency to be portrayed as women who don't take no ish from nobody...and that is all fine and dandy...and in may be true for some of us some of the time......however....if you are going off on people 95.74% of the time....Houston we have a problem! It's one thing to let ole boy at the club know that your not the one....its another thing to spundoo his drink out of his hand, take his cell, call his girl, tell her what a dog her man is, call all his boys that are with him a$$holes, and then proclaim that you are what it is, and stomp off....and then have the nerve to call your Uncle Tank...and embellish a little about how ole boy grabbed you on the booty and he disrespected you! bc you know Tank is all about whooping some a$$.....your a bi***!!! That was wrong.....and all for nothing...all bc ole boy asked you for your number....no wonder you ain't got a man:(

1. RESPECT YOURSELF~ It may seem like a bad psa at this point, but for real ya'll...sleeping around is not cool....and if you think for one second that you are justified bc it is what "all the independent" women do.....you better think again. My theory is, when I get married, and my husband asks me how many people I have slept with, I don't want to have to lie to him by lowering the number, and I don't want him to have to think that I was open like 7-11 before him. It-is-not-a good-look!! But if you are one of those women who don't see yourself ever getting married, or settling down, or you just want to live it up right now....respect yourself enough to protect yourself EVERY SINGLE TIME!! That is more respect than anyone knows!!

So there....my soapbox has a dent in it ya'll..sorry! But that is the way I feel for real, especially being single....single girls gotta have a code too ya know!!!

Hope every ones Valentine's Day was successful and romantic.....let me know what ya'll did!!

As for me, I am spending the evening at Pappadeaux with my girls!! You can't get a better deal, delicious food, and great company!! Be easy ya'll!!
