February 15, 1997 -- Last Wednesday I washed my car...in the snow.I was feeling unsually energetic...maybe it was because the sun was shiningand I knew Brian would be here soon and whatever else I can use to explain washing my car in the snow. ;)
Thursday Brian finally got here. About 8:00 at night. I went over and wewent out to dinner and saw Jerry Maguire again. I had missed himso much, and it was wonderful to have him here, but I was so tired on Thursdaynight from almost no sleep Wednesday night that I can't imagine I was any funto be around.
Friday was Valentine's Day. If you didn't know that I'm sure you've realized by now.If you haven't realized by now, a box of chocolates may not cut it. Get roses too.
I got a bowl for Valentine's Day. No...not drugs. A big teal ice cream bowl from Bath&Body Works...filled with Sun-Ripened Raspberry goodies. And ice cream to put in it. We threwRedi-Whip at each other then laughed like children at it. It was wonderful! We saw FoolsRush In -- an EXCELLENT movie, by the way. But I got no chocolate. That's okay...I can go out and buy my own for half price now. Not romantic, but how is chocolate EVER romanticreally? It all depends on the person. And Brian is a hopeless romantic.I couldn't be happier about how Valentine's Day turned out.
I got him a smelly thing to put in his car (the scent? Sun-Ripened Raspberry, of course! He raved about it on the phone...he loves it and says his car finally smells GOOD. I'm happy...I made the proper gift choice!!! BOOYAH!!!), and made him cookies, and did most of the sweet things you can do for someone when you have no money. He understood. Then he said the perfect thing andI felt better about not getting much for him. Don't ask what he said...all I know is it was the perfect thing at the time.That's one of those things about him that makes me tingle. he ALWAYS says the right things at the right times.
But I don't wanna write more...I've got a headache and I just can't sit in this damned folding chair any longer! Good night!!!
