[1]Yes. I’ve made peace with Valentines Day, but not the week leading up to it, when romantic love is bombarding me, and I don’t mean in a good way. The other day, I got ambushed [2] while tuning into a favorite radio show, and even the stalwart Writer’s Almanac [3] is featuring a week of literary love letters (although today’s are from Oscar Wilde to Lord Alfred Douglas, and how can you not enjoy that?) The only sane response is to buy a T-shirt. The latest is from Alexander Wang’s less expensive T collection [4], and it’s soft and chic. I’m in LOVE.

Why It’s Great to Be Single on Valentines Day [5], reason #7 from Jen G.:
Sister Without a Mister Night! This started in my sorority, when the non-attached girls would go out to dinner and a cheesy chick flick that no man would ever willingly see. It still continues in my adult life and is a wonderful excuse to get together with my girlfriends who can relate to the unique ups and downs of being single.
