I went to Target for one thing. I spent $100 and forgot to buy the thing I came for. This is now the second time I have forgotten to buy an alarm clock for my trip. And today I was in the aisle with them, but got distracted by other things. Ugh

Probably my biggest haircut in years. But my hair is getting long and I’m about to do a bunch of traveling so I figure shorter will be better. (Shorter being like shoulder length. I am not that brave.)

However, I called to say I would be a few minutes late because I hit traffic, but now it’s 20 min after when my appointment was supposed to start. I was only 5 min late. Oh well. That is what smart phones are for. But I am starving.

The boy always talks about how warm I am and we are currently in bed and he, half-asleep, mentioned it again. I asked if it was good or bad because sometimes he wants the warmth and sometimes he’s too hot. He replied “good and bad. it’s good because it’s nice, but it’s bad because you’re scalding!”

So pumped! I did not expect that.

The boy and I were already planning on going out for a nice dinner Friday so now we can spring for nice wine with dinner!

Sitting in the sun with a beer, a book, and a friend. So content.

It hurt like very, very bad cramps, but it didn’t last that long. Now it feels  like light cramps. But no worrying about birth control for 5 years!

I can’t have sex for 3 days, which is kind of a bummer b/c I’m seeing the boy Wed and Thurs instead of the weekend, but at least we can Thursday night. 

Now I’m rewarding myself with blue cheese, Girl Scout cookies, and TV.

Seeing my newborn nephew over the weekend made me forget what awful creatures kids can sometimes be. Thanks for the reminder universe.

Now I’m just hoping that this isn’t too incredibly painful. Fingers crossed.

The boy has been bragging about his taco cooking skills, so we made these tonight and they definitely lived up to the hype. Homemade guac and pico de gallo. So delicious. And he bought Negra Modelo to complete the meal. Such a keeper.

And tomorrow my best friend visits!! So excited. 

I even changed my sheets, scrubbed my shower, and did some other stuff I’ve been meaning to do. 

This is my robot painting I mentioned yesterday. I love it. I loved the photo so much already (it’s a pic of graffiti I saw in Damascus about protecting Syria), and this was so thoughtful.

We also had a really amazing dinner and then a really honest conversation about our relationship. This is the best Valentine’s Day I have ever had. So happy.
