V-Day Is On Its Way

Last night J let it slip that he got me something for Valentine's Day. I have no clue what it is, but he was down right giddy about it last night and he "can't for Valentine's Day this year". Now, I love surprises but I hate knowing about them before hand because I can't stop trying to guess in my head what it possibly could be. I run through a million scenarios. Drives me batty. I'd rather not know for fear that I may expect this:

And get this:



Which I would love, LOVE, L.O.V.E., but you could imagine a slight feeling of let down.


Anywho, so all this speculating and wondering this morning made me realize something. This is my first, real live, 100% fur realz Valentine's gift. Seriously!
1. It's a total surprise that he picked out/planned out all by himself
2. I don't have to go buy it (here's the money for your present oh and uh while you're picking that up can you pick up C's girlfriends' gift while yur at it, thanks honey - yeah that SERIOUSLY happened to me one year)
3. His mom isn't calling him to ask if he wants her to order me some flowers, which I later have to go to the florist and pay for. Yeah, that happened multiple times... I'd rather get nothing.

So now I don't care if its a kindergarten-fingerpaint of a heart that say "I luv yu", I'm ecstatic! I'm used to going all out and buying or baking something sweet for my bf, spending all my time and energy on some creative something to make him feel special and I get nada in return. I suppose I knew I would get something from J. Definitely a foot massage and a dinner cooked for me. But now that I know he's gotten me something/doing something special for me (I really have no clue), I'm overly excited. It's quite pathetic.

My parents always did extra-sweet stuff for each other for Valentine's Day the whole time I was growing up (they're disgusting, it's adorable), so V-Day was always a little rough for me. I just got used to getting nothing and excepted my parents as the sickly-sweet, mushy-gushy, unnatural freaks of relationship nature they are. Now I'm one of those freaks... Yay for Valentine's Day!! <3

FAF: Another 1 Bites the Dust!

Starting weight: 166.4 Last week's weight: 163.8 Current weight: 162.8 Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week: -1.0 Total weight lost: -3.6 Another week of weight loss! Whoop! Its not much but after another slow exercising week, I'll GLADLY take it! I'm very close [again] to what I weighed when I got knocked up with my pwecious little man so I'm feeling good about that fo' sho'... Working out this week has been rough. I haven't really made/had time for a good solid workout so I'm a little disappointed about that but...eh, I'll just keep squeezing them in there whenever I can and as much as I can. We have a gym membership over by my usual sitter so once she's off maternity leave, I'll be able to run to the gym at night before or after I pick up the monster. My diet this week has been unhealthy - not in what I've eaten, just the quantity. I've hardly eaten a thing! My dinner portions have been cut in half, if not more, so I feel that's a po...

When Life Hands You Lemons

Today is the day. Grandpa's visitation and tomorrow's the funeral. The last couple of days its really hit me. He's gone. My Grandpa was a wonderful man. We've all been smiling, laughing and reminising about all the funny things he used to do and say. We fondly remember his sweet tooth and love for all things lemon flavored. But something I never really thought about until now is that he was handed a lot of crappy cards on the health side of life and hasn't been in good health for the last 20 years but I never really heard him complain about it. In fact, every time I saw him he had a huge smile on his face and wanted to know all about what I had been up to and what I was doing. He was so very proud of all of us kids. So proud. Didn't matter what we were doing or what we'd accomplished, his eyes would twinkle with pride. I'm going to miss him terribly. Today and tomorrow are going to be hard but its all the days after that are going to be truly trying... L...
