Rescue Me
The Premiere of Cinderella
February 15, 1950 mark's the release date of Cinderella. It's the story of a beautiful, mistreated young girl who is adopted by a fairy godmother and is rescued by a charming Prince. Her tale has been recreated over the years, but its essence has remained true. Which version do you prefer?
My Love Affair With Music
Music has a way of transporting me to a different time and place. Sometimes, the lyrics or tune connect with a memory. Other times, it's about the fantasy. Today, Valentine's Day, I'm getting lost to the tunes of Alabama Shakes, Dessa, and Phases. Phases, "I'm in Love With My Life," says it all. It doesn't matter whether you're in a relationship or not.
She said, "Yes!"
The Proposal
Is a long distance relationship worth the work? It is if you are James Greig and Katie Moore. The two were in a long distance relationship, until 2014, when Ms. Moore closed the gap by moving from New York to London. Now, the couple are engaged. Mr. Greig proposed on the cover of The Observer Magazine on Valentine's Day. Congratulations to the Happy Couple!

The Single Life
Party of 1
What does a single person do on Valentine's Day or any holiday? Do whatever you want.
One day, while eating dinner at a restaurant, a lady came up to me and said, "You are so brave. I could never do what you're doing." I looked around. Her party had left and she lingered just to tell me that. What is so brave about dining alone? I did the only thing I could do, SMILE. Being single isn't an affliction.
To celebrate Valentine's Day or life, I'm starting tonight with movies and TV shows. So many choices.
I'll be trying some of the DIY ideas on Vingle, like marinating meat in tea to tenderize. Thanks to @nannysally, tea bags won't be wasted anymore. There were loads of ideas. If the thought of meat isn't for you, I'm also making green split pea soup. Would I rather be on a date tonight? Not at all. It's winter and cold outside. I can hear the wind.

Bio
I'm finally seeing the glass as half full and half full is not enough. Laughter, the deep snort kind, keeps me going...well, so does my car. I enjoy random road trips.
