Valentines Day 2007 - re-visited

ok.. earlier today i found my '07 VDAY post-
to re-post. it was posted over two days, and the first day, was mostly just babble--
so i only kept the last half of that one.
and then the next day.
not much has changed.

VDAY at the Soul-Crib 2007


(2-14-07)

HELLO AGAIN.... AND HAPPY VALENTINES DAY !!!

i forgot to mention it this morning while i was writing, but i got ROSES this morning from my husband !!! and a card. it was really very sweet of him. i, on the other hand, didn't get him as much as a card ! my intentions were good, it just didn't happen. then i intended on getting one today...thinking that he wouldn't give me one until after work...if he gave me one at all...boy, was i surprised ! anyhow... i was going to go get one when i picked my girl up after school, but... a friend of hers ride didn't show up .. yet again... so, somehow, i end up bringing this girl home with us whenever that happens... so i didn't do any of the things i had planned on. the card, the post office, the cell phone place... etc. but.. i figured i would print a card when we got home, and i could catch up on the other stuff tomorrow... well... have you looked online at the soooo verry extremely crappy selection of printable.. and even the email cards they have??? oooh yuk !!! i think i will just get him one tomorrow. he won't mind. hell, we've been married almost 15 years. he knows i love him !

anyhow, it's been a pretty lazy day today, in a way. i did do a bunch of laundry AND i finished ALL my dishes.. EVEN my pots and pans... woo hoo ! i really did not want to do that stuff, but it had to be done. it feels good that i did it. but other than that i think i have become addicted to reading these blogs online. i just sit on here and hunt and read them all day. i've been on here so much the past couple days that my back is just burning and hurting like a MOFO. terrible. AND i have a pretty bad headache to boot. i shouldn't even be on here right now. probably wouldn't be if i wasn't looking for a card...but then that led to reading blogs...then of course i had to see if anyone left me any posts on here.. well, then i had to write...i suppose when i'm done i will get off for the night.

hubby still isn't home from work. i'm starving to death too. i had planned on making spaghetti for dinner...but i just realized... i have NO SAUCE !!! ACK! we will probably end up with micky d's or something. i would splurge and get a steak .. but i do not feel like waiting forever at a restaraunt on V day... OR looking at all the young dressed up lovebirds being all stupid all night while i try to eat.

ok....i reckon i am done with this for now.

hope you all have a nice .. or at least drunk.. .. V-Day (night).

WHY DO CRAPPY SONGS GET STUCK IN MY HEAD???

hmmmm..... i am having a hard time figuring out how to start this post. i have started and stopped like three times already this morning and just draw a blank, so i quit, and figure.. i'll be baaack. then, it occurred to me that i was singing "how much is that doggy in the window"....all morning long ! but , it also occurred to me, i hadn't only had that song in my head today...but yesterday too. why? !!!! i don't even remember hearing it. except in my head. it's never a good song, never a top ten hit that gets stuck there for days. it's always, yellow submarine...or me and julio down by the schoolyard. oh my Lord. even commercial jingles ! i guess those are the worst, because they are usually only like ten words...over and over...and over....for hours. it's enough to drive someone insane.
so anyhow. i have a buncha crap to do today... which really kinda sucks... because it is extremely cold today, and the heater in my car is not working right. i don't know why, but it will blow warm for a while...then cold. isn't that just great? right in the middle of yet another.. "arctic blast". grrrr. i don't know what i really hate more than i hate being cold. i hate washing dishes, i hate doing laundry. i hate cleaning litter boxes...or other miscellaneous pet accidents... but really...being cold is just at the top of the list for me. i would rather be flogged with a ... well, whatever people get flogged with.... than freeze.
ok anyhow. enough of my dread of facing the errands of the day. which the best part...i hope...will be getting my new cell phone...and i hope i don't have to pay for it !
hmmm... oh i know... did anybody else surf around on blogs yesterday? it seems like everyone who has one had something to say about valentines day. and more people than not.... HATE it. single people, married people, people with significant others.... just everyone. it seems that the majority of people feel that V-DAY is a commercialized and ridiculous "holiday", which makes people feel forced to express their love for someone in a new and unique way... every year. and for the single people, well, it's just another reason to feel lonely.
personally, i've been married long enough that yes, it's nice to get a card or whatever... but it's not necessary for me to get diamonds, or fancy gifts, or even an expensive meal or night on the town. even when i was single it didn't mean a whole lot. i really don't think i ever had a date on V-DAY when i was single. my husband and i surely went out or something on one before we got married.... but isn't it terrible that i can't even remember it? do people really remember EVERY valentines day, how they spend it, who they were with??? inquiring minds want to know...
but anyhow, as for us, last night, we ordered BBQ..to be delivered...and would you believe that it took over an hour and a half for it to get here ?? i was sooooo hungry i thought i was gonna faint by the time it got here. i had NO idea that they would be so busy on V DAY. we have ordered from this place several times, and they usually get here in less than thirty minutes. it must be a texas valentines dinner thing. "hey hunnay, let's order us sum barbeque fer our supper tunaught. how's that sound hunnay pie?" LOL. really. it really must be what the old folks do around here so they don't have to wait for a table and watch the young , dressed up lovebirds act stupid, while they try to eat too. haha. (well, at least now we know... note to self... next year... have something to cook on hand for v-day !!!)
anyhow...speaking of food....something i am noticing this passed couple of days.... i have been grazing less..still grazing, just not as much/or as often....but i have been ravenously HUNGRY a lot of the time. i mean i can eat, and feel really full, but then an hour later, i'm extremely hungry again. i fight the urge to eat a lot of the time, but it is weird. i probably shouldn't worry so much about gaining weight...right now...because i am really sort of underweight as it is and a few extra pounds wouldn't hurt , but i just don't want to form a habit of overeating. i have had weight problems in the past, and they are hard to correct. so, now i don't only fight urges to smoke... i have to fight the urge to eat too much too. *SIGH* BUT... today is day TEN without a cigarette.
well, i need to get up and get my stuff done. i have been neglecting a lot of my errands and chores lately. i also need to get some groceries today...which i am not looking forward to. that is something else i hate... wal mart. i almost got in a fistfight once in a wal mart.. oh goodness, that was somethin else. gotta love wally world.
well, maybe i shall write a little more later... maybe not...but, until next time
think of me while you enjoy that next cigarette !


I'M BACK...

i am starving too !! hubby is getting home late again tonight...so late dinner again. ahhhh. i don't know why i am so hungry all the time. it's not just wanting to do something either...it's like stomach growling, hunger pain HUNGRY !!!!

anyhow.... i have some rather disturbing news to report.... yes... i have discovered that i am a prude !!!! is that something that comes with age?? or have i always been this way? i do remember that certain topics in conversation would shock me at times, but i consider myself to be a pretty easy goin gal. so, i'm thinking that it is maybe age... or motherhood... i don't know...but yes, i am a prude. a stuffy old lady, if you will. ugh. ok, i'll explain. i already mentioned that i have been spending a lot of time looking at blogs online.... well.... i haven't spent much time online in a long time, other than for business, or research etc. so anyhow... i'll get on a website, and just click "next" or, click on links.. and really have no idea where i'm going to end up. well... at first i came across a few scantily clad women on several sites... for some strange reason, that just didn't really "shock" me. perhaps i expected i would stumble on something like that...it's not like i haven't in the past. BUT.... OMG..... i DID NOT expect to come across blogs... BLOGS.... with pictures... graphic.... ugh.... i just can't put it into words. these are supposed to be diaries, journals... blogs. not ... oh boy... i AM a prude. i just hope my daughter doesn't see this stuff. i really was truly ... for lack of a better word... shocked ! oh, by the way..the pages i speak of..were men !!! very naked, men. doing very naked "things" ! i AM shocked!

ok... i'll move on... i got my new cell phone today...and i did not have to pay for it. woo hoo! and i did make it to the post office box...but, i had NO mail...so that was a wasted trip. then i had to get gas....in 34 degrees, and WIND...i was sooo cold!!! i didn't go anywhere else...no groceries, or whatever else i was gonna do. i wish i woulda gone to the store now though... i'm hungry!

welp, that's about it for this day. pretty boring. cold, and lazy. sposed to be in the teens tonight...burrrrr. this is texas...what is up with the COLD???

anyhow... y'all stay warm
and oh by the way.... the cig sufferage hasn't been so terrible today. it's gettin bettah !!!!
