Happy Mistress’ Day! (aka Cheater’s Day, Feb 13)

Did you know there was such a day? Apparently so!

Unfortunately, without a significant other, I can neither celebrate this day nor Valentine’s Day. 😦

However, there are a LOT of perks to being single! More people in the world are now single than attached! Did you know that, too?

This is a trailer for a fantastic documentary about being single, Flying Solo.

Full documentary, but I don’t believe it’s available outside of Canada, which is too bad cause it’s phenomenal!
