Happy V. D.

[merimask]

Today was Valentine's Day.  A day we set aside to remember the "special someone" in our lives...or perhaps it's the day we try to rectify the damage caused by a whole year of being neglectful and boogery.  I guess the answer depends on whether you're a nice person or an ass.

My husband is a nice person, so today was just another day but with flowers and a pretty card.  :-)  A dozen long stemmed roses...sweet!  I made him a card and bought him a big fat chocolate heart.  I sort of always buy him a chocolate heart.  I keep forgetting that the huge chocophile in the house is me,  so I'll probably end up eating half of it myself.  :::is ashamed:::

Then, we went to family councelling.  Because today was councelling day.  I guess I can't think of anything sadder to do on Val-Day than sit on a couch crying in front of virtual strangers.  :-(  Anyway, it was nice that Greg came along, at least.  Lately he's been the most stable person in the house.  Good thing too, because I have a "useless factor" of about ten these days.  That's pretty bad.

So now I have roses and a headache and I think I need to forget about working tonight and just go to bed, already.

Oh!  In other news, I bought a recumbent excercise bike yesterday.  I'm very proud of myself.  It's not the best model, but not the cheapest either, and I freaking love those things.  I'm so sick of missing my bike rides that I decided to do something about it.  I think, with my eyes closed and my I-Pod blasting, I can pretend I'm out there and it'll be better for me than sitting on the couch waiting for Spring to come.  This spare room is slowly filling up with useful stuff.  I think it's pretty neat.

Congrats, Meri, I love exercise equipment. Sure, if you're outdoorsy, you prefer not to use machines, but if you live somewhere where winter means snow, I defy just about anyone to tell me that their activity level doesn't plummet, no matter HOW outdoorsy they are. So a piece of cardio equipment is, to me, essential for every household in the world except the most fanatically outdoorsy/athletic ones. Because there ARE people out there who will strap on skis or snowshoes and get exercise outside in the winter.

But I don't speak to those people. ;) (Just watch, I shall now become one of those people. I always jinx myself!)

I've exercised the hell out of my elliptical...it's about ready to give up. This is why I now prefer to buy only expensive stuff...it actually lasts waywayway longer and gives me less stress. I just wish I had the money...I'll be paying for my Bowflex until the first of June. :)

I am utterly hateful about V-day so I shall make no further comment. ;)

I'm so looking forward to having this room as my little getaway. :-) The bike's being delivered on Friday. This is going to be so much more pleasant than the health club.

Boogery is officially the best word I've hear this year. Really.

Wow that is a mixed Valentine's Day. At least you have chocolate. Can't go wrong with creamy goodness to fall back on.

Hee! I use "boogery" all the time. :-)

Yeah it was a schizophrenic V-day. Fortunately...there's chocolate around and everything can be remedied with enough chocolate.

Mmmm truffles.... There is this candy shop in the mall that has these giant candied apples covered in everything sweet and good. I really need to go there like right now. :P
