February 11: Satisfied Staying Single Day and lots more

If you dumped your 'significant jerk' recently -- and we've highlighted a couple of opportunities for you to do so here at The Blog of Days -- you may have already found your new Valentine.

On the other hand, you may not have found your new Valentine -- and Monday offers some possible consolation: February 11 is Satisfied Staying Single Day.

Don't worry that your friends aren't buying it.

And, whatever you do, don't cry over spilt milk. According to Usual Suspects Hallmark and Punchbowl (among others), Monday is also Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day. Again, we'd have spelled spilled spilt -- say that ten times fast -- but we must learn to be more tolerant of these variations as we here at The Blog of Days try to bring order to the calendar. The point is, what's done is done. Move on. Don't look back.

Instead, focus on just making a new friend. Monday, February 11 is also Make a New Friend Day. We can all use as many friends as we can get.
