Scanner Emily's Tips for Getting Through Valentine's Day

Posted by Emily Farris

 

We're not big fans of Valentine's Day. Even when we were in a seemingly-happy, committed relationship, we wanted nothing more than to stay in, eat too much and have great sex. We'll definitely be staying in and eating too much this year, that's for sure. So if, like us, the date 2/14 gets you about as excited as 9/11 and couples like the one pictured above make you want to bludgeon somebody, here are some tips for getting through the day.

1. Do Like Bobby, and get your nails done.

2. Watch every episode of "The Biggest Loser" on ABC.com while eating a medium rare cheddar burger and disco fries.

3. Exfoliate.

4. Adopt a puppy. Because why not make a commitment to something that will love you every Valentine's Day for the next 20 years?

5. Drink heavily.

6. Decide this will be the day you ride every subway line in New York City.

7. Finally pay those bills that have been piling up on your desk. Then clean out your inbox.

8. Take 6-8 laxatives so that sex, or the lack thereof, will be the last thing on your mind. And lose a couple pounds, to boot!

9. Start that Amy Winehouse Fan Club/Support Group you've been talking up for ages.

10. Did we mention adopting a puppy? Because we're really tempted.

We can guarantee you'll find us doing a thing or two on this list tomorrow.

I'm not gonna do any of those things, not even the laxative one, but I'd be mighty honored if Emily would be my valentine, but only if she promises not to do the laxative one too.
