Dawn's Digression.

I know I had some things to chat about, but now that I have a few minutes to blog, I can't seem to remember what they are.

I'm going to the optometrist tomorrow, which means I am leaving work early. Woo-hoo! You know I'm all about leaving work early. Especially on a Friday. I get to start my weekend early. I don't have any gigantic plans this weekend, and I am 100% fine with that. I would like to watch a bunch of movies this weekend. Hopefully Mich is up for that. We do have reservations at Pappas Steak House for Valentine's Day, which is going to set us back a fortune, but for Pete's sake... We skipped birthdays and Christmas last year, and I think we deserve a nice evening. Actually, I know we do. So screw the money. Everything isn't about money, anyway. A girl needs to kick up her heels every now and then.

I have given Michele two Valentine's Day gifts. Okay, three if you count the flowers. I gave her a little ID wallet yesterday. If you don't have one of these, you should check them out. They are super-mega tiny and just hold your ID, a credit card, and some cash. I have one I love that she uses occasionally, but the one I just gave her is smaller and therefore better, IMHO. This morning I gave her a silver necklace. It wasn't as fancy as what I'd like to get her, but honestly, I don't really understand what she wants. So she gets this. It's herringbone, so it won't last forever and hopefully she'll be thinking about what she likes so next time I can get her what she really wants. Or what I really want her to have. You just don't know how much I hate that I can't afford really nice things for her. She doesn't expect them (Thank God!), I know. But still.... I like my women taken care of. I'm not going to tell you if she has any more gifts or what they are. You know how I get paranoid she'll check my blog just because I have a surprise hidden in here.

I still haven't written in the new journal I bought back in December. I finished the other one a couple of weeks ago. I haven't much been in the mood to reflect. First of all, I hardly have any reflections to reflect on. Secondly, I just don't take the time to do it. I don't have such a rush of emotion anymore. If I'm feeling anxious, I actually say, "I am feeling some anxiety right now. I think I'll read for awhile." WTF? I thought I was supposed to cry, drink, and write when I had anxiety. W~. This is much healthier, anyway. Best of all, I'm not lonely and I don't want to die. I said that to Ruby the other day, and she acted taken aback. Did she think I was always kidding when I said that? Or maybe I quit saying it because it is SO over the top. At any rate...YAY!

I can't remember if I've already blogged this or not. I've been hiding those little Valentine's around the house again this year. You know, it is amazing what something like that will do for a relationship. Simply amazing. Maybe I just need to let Michele know more often that I value her. Everybody needs to hear that sometimes.

Well, I can't remember what I thought I wanted to blog about today, so I guess that's it. I'm not quite 100 pages into Bodily Harm. SO interesting.
