Happy Valentine’s Day!

Posted on Feb 14, 2010 09:30:16 AM

In terms of Valentine’s Day, what comes to your mind? Your significant other, flowers, jewelry, chocolate, maybe a romantic dinner at home (or out)…? For Mike and I, we’re a little less traditional. I wouldn’t know how to take care of roses, I have enough candy left from Christmas to tide me over, and as much as I like pretty jewelry, I don’t wear it a lot. I work in retail, and a few years ago, I lost a bracelet that was very dear to me. Ever since then, I’ve refused to wear any sort of jewelry other than earrings, and as far as those go, nothing expensive. So what did Mike and I do? We exchanged gifts, but as I said, they’re very non-traditional. I got him the first Naruto: Shippuden set, as he’s been wanting that for some time now. He got me Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for the PSP. It came out last month, and I’ve wanted it ever since I saw it for pre-order. For me, that’s as awesome as any “commercialized” Valentine’s gift. I’m not your “usual” romantic. I don’t need flowers and all that girly stuff to make me happy. Get me a DVD I’ve been wanting or a book or a game and I’m a happy girl.

I’m also very easy-going. Mike wanted to play basketball with the boys today, and he asked me last night if it would be okay. I told him to do whatever he wants. I’m not going to be one of those nagging girlfriends that refuses to let their other half out of the house. I mean, he plays for what, a couple of hours, and then we have the entire evening together. I promised him that I would watch Zombieland tonight. I bought it for him last week, and he absolutely loved it, and has insisted for the last week that I watch it with him. I’m kinda “eh” on zombie movies – some are good, others… not so much. But not one person I’ve talked to has had anything bad to say about this movie… just that it’s hilarious and I need to see it. So I’ll be doing that tonight. In the meantime, who knows. Enjoy your holiday, everyone!

Superbowl, you say?

Honestly, it’s just another weekend to me. I’ve never followed football, never will. Mike has tried to get me into it, but it’s just so boring to me. But for Mike, I will be a Patriots fan, lol. So tomorrow Mike’ll be at a Superbowl party, which leaves me home by myself, but I don’t mind. It’ll give me a chance to get some cleaning done, or maybe just spend some quality time alone. That sounds pathetic, heh. But you know what I mean. I may go to the party before the game starts, get some food and hang out with everyone for awhile. We’ll see. I don’t wanna eat and run, how bad would that look? Although they’re good friends of ours, and I know they won’t care, but still.

Another short entry, I know. I don’t have too much going on, lol. We may go midnight bowling later, that’s always fun. I haven’t gone since before Christmas due to being sick, so it’ll be fun to get back into it… if I can avoid getting dizzy when I throw my ball, that is. That’s what happened last Monday in my league and I had to sit out. So hopefully I’ll be okay this time.

Ahoy, fresh new look!

So I took the plunge and upgraded to WordPress. Years late, right? Actually, I tried using it multiple times in the past, but I always got frustrated, mostly over installation issues, and in the end, I always gave up. But this time, the installation went smoothly (methinks), and everything looks good, so we’ll see. Perhaps this will prompt me to blog more? Maybe. I lead a boring life, lol. I guarantee if I blog more, they’ll be a lot of rants about work. But trust me, most of those will bring forth entertainment.

Anyway, so I’ve been sick for like, the past month. I’m not even kidding. I went almost a week straight without eating (no appetite), and it cost me 15 pounds… which I am desperate to gain back. I’ve been eating like crazy, but every time I weigh myself, it’s exactly the same. I’m tired of my pants falling down, lol. I need to gain my weight back! (Most people probably think I’m crazy and wish for the opposite, lol.)

I think I’ll leave off here… I gotta get ready for bowling in a bit… since I’ve been sick, I haven’t gone, so it’s been a good month or more since I’ve bowled. I hope I don’t complately suck, haha. In the meantime, don’t mind the lack of content, I’m working on it… slowly.
