Yes, that song is absolutely my guilty pleasure. As a matter of fact, I may put it on repeat for my drive this morning. Not my usual 10 minute drive, today, I’m heading to…the south office. Going down there once or twice a month is something I agreed to when I accepted the promotion. Fortunately, it’s infrequent. There’s no snow on the ground (it’s supposed to be around 50 today), I have a full tank of gas, and, oh yeah, it’s my FRIDAY! So go ahead and hit replay on that tune up there.
Tomorrow – the Hallmark holiday of Hallmark holidays. We’re going snowboarding. Love is in the air, the thin, cold mountain air. Maybe I’ll draw a heart in the snow. Probably not. Snow angel? Possibly. Big body indentations from where I’ve crashed and burned? Boy I hope not.
I’ve never been big on this whole February 14 shenanigans. I am fairly certain that we love each other every day so we don’t need a “special” day to celebrate it. I mean, we have our anniversary (all three of them) to pick one to celebrate. Why follow the norm? Buck the trend! But I know there will still be cards and flowers and frilly cuz it’s just how we roll. And staycation. Because it’s nice to have someone else clean up after me if only for a day or two.
I thought that I was making this a four-day weekend as Monday is a holiday, but I got talked into coming in since we need coverage. It isn’t a tremendous deal as hubby has to work anyway and the office will be deserted AND I get the day back in PTO so it’ll just make up for some random summer day when I just don’t feel like going in. I know there will be those days when I would rather just go ride my bike or hang out at the trapeze. Last year I was able to do some half-day Wednesdays to get some flying in. I don’t think that’s gonna be accepted this year. Boo! Guess I’ll have to do my flying in the evening like the rest of the working stiffs.
Ahh, speaking of stiff, shoulder, PLEASE! It’s been two weeks! I think it’s likely that I have a bone bruise up there. Pretty sure I had never had this happen and now twice in four months. Either my luck or my balance is going downhill and I can’t quite decide which one. The craziest part is that once I’m up for a little while, it behaves a little better, but I must be doing all kinds of shoulder workouts in my sleep, because when I first get up it’s damn near frozen. Gotta love yoga and shoulder openers. Had my laptop not gone bonkers this morning, I would have had a great session. Instead, I waited a half an hour for stupid Windows updates and then I only had time to write. See that? I chose you guys over working out. Tough choice. 😛
Well, I’m even shorter on time than usual today so I’m gonna call this one. Wave if you see me (or hear me) coming down 25!
I’m glad that more people don’t do V-day. Sure it can be romantic, yes flowers, etc…
But really… This “holiday” was created to require every couple to celebrate being together.
More people/couples should choose to celebrate when THEY want to.. not when someone else wants them to.
We celebrate our “yearly” anniversary, 6 months before/after because we can! really…
Also, sucks that you have to go to the South office =/ Do you get any compensation for gas?
I agree fully. We celebrate our anniversary most of the month of June since our first date was the 23rd, officially married on the 4th, and our ceremony in Mexico on the 10th, lol.
Money for gas?!?! I still work in the same place, you know. The office is nice though. Traffic just ducked. 🙂
Wish I could be notified when you reply to my comments :p
Yes, I know where you work… I was hoping that /maybe/ you got something out of it!
I think you can. There may be an option (checkbox) for it near the comments.
Nothing has changed over here, lol.
Justin and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s either, since our anniversary is Feb 4. I’d much rather celebrate on a normal day when the restaurants aren’t crazy anyway 🙂
Eggggggzactly!
