And so it begins

firebabe6519 · February 2014

Already today I have had 2 spontaneous elopements and 3 V-Day proposals... Plus one announcement I have no idea how to classify pop up on my FB feed. A cousin's wife (who waffles constantly between being a lesbian and being happily married with 2 kids) has announced that she is I guess psuedo-engaged to new guy even though she is currently married and not even legally separated.

I'm so ready for the influx of upcoming PPDs and "but its MY day" people to be over. Way too much craziness!

All I saw on FB was a bunch of selfies and what everyone cooked for dinner.

My aunt got engaged, but I'm really happy for her, because I think she is really good with her guy who actually treats her well and respects her (unlike her ex-h).

Ugh! I have one friend acquaintance who got a puppy.

I hate when people get other people pets as gifts. Pets have personalities, and you should choose one that fits you best. I would be fucking furious if FI got me a puppy, not that I don't LOVE puppies, but I want to know the dog's personality, and pick a dog that we BOTH love!

Confession time: I told my FI that I wanted jellyfish, so I would be totally cool if FI had gotten me jellyfish. But then again, it's not like you're going to be taking your jellyfish for a walk. (If you are, you clearly don't understand how jellyfish work.)

I was actually stuck home working on a paper...It was sad. But, FI sent some beautiful flowers that made my night a little better and now I am packing my car to see my hun for the weekend! We're celebrating tonight with grilling out and a six pack. Its pretty low key but that's how we roll. We did decide to find the cheesiest box of chocolates as gifts for each other. I've got one for him that says he's my number one draft pick and its got footballs all over it.

I meant to add, I've gotten two texts about friends' engagements and boy oh boy....It's going to be interesting for the next few months. I like the rational ladies I talk to on here...not sure I'm ready for the holiday rush of snowflakes, as you all call them. lol

Half of my Facebook news feed was "yay valentine's day!" the rest were basically paraphrases of:

"This is a commercial holiday, commercialism is bad! I didn't mind it yesterday when I was buying shit at the mall, but TODAY IT'S A BAD THING. Today I will rant about how horrible hallmark is but tomorrow I won't care anymore."

"Valentines day sucks and you're making me feel bad for being single. I was single all year and fine, but today its horrible and you all suck for being in happy relationships when I'm not. It's ok though, I also won't care about being single tomorrow."

Various versions of "WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY LOVE MEEEEEEE????????"

I also saw a pic pop up that said "So what you're single on valentine's day, some people don't have a mother on mother's day and others don't have a fathers on father's day." The comments on that were either funny pictures or people trying to do mental summersaults to explain why they are equally sad as someone who lost a fucking parent. Ok, I get the comment is harsh, and overdramatic, but that's when you say "yeah I could have it worse," or "Well that's a bit dramatic," and move the fuck on, not whine about how being single at 16 is like losing a family member. Those pissed me off a bit, whine all you want, but don't compare your being upset at one day on the calendar to death of a loved one, kay?

We had a lovely dinner of Panera...sooo romantic I know...and just spent some quality time together.. my BFF stopped by to grab a movie to borrow before going and seeing her BF. It was no different then any other night could have been. It was nice.

I had a dinner date over skype (well, google chat) and ate pizza with wine and ice cream. The wine was well deserved because after a 5 hour technical interview, I felt like I got ran over and beat up. I was exhausted. The nicest part was after my interview, I came home to flowers on my porch and none of my jerk neighbors messed with them!

We got this pizza making kit for christmas from H's parents, so we tried to make the homemade pizza. It didn't work at all, lol. Maybe the dough mix was too old or something.

So then we went out and got fast food and watched the Wedding Singer. It was great.

I was sick. But I didn't have to go to work because of it. Not sure whether to be happy or sad. On the one hand, I felt (and still feel) awful, on the other hand, I got out of work. My husband stayed by me the whole time though and even made sure to bring the cat to me. He also kept telling me that I looked beautiful.
